[WRCB-TV] A Chattanooga man faces attempted murder charges for attacking a woman and gouging her eyes out.
Chattanooga Police say it happened around 6:15 p.m. Wednesday on Frances Drive. When they arrived they found the victim lying face down on the ground. Police also found an eyeball lying on the ground next to her. My Gawd man. Pick a socket, stick it back in and be quick about it !
Police arrested the suspect, Michael Roberson, who was still at the residence. The woman was taken to the hospital. Medical staff say the woman was stabbed multiple times and both her eyeballs were out. Other than the vision problem and a few knife wounds, she's in excellent health and taking nourishment.
Roberson told police he and the woman began arguing. He told police blacked out and doesn't remember what he did. He is booked at the Hamilton County Jail with a $500,000 bond.
[AP] HANOI, Vietnam (AP) ‐ The former head of state-owned PetroVietnam was sentenced to death Friday for embezzlement and abuse of power committed in his former job leading a bank partly owned by Vietnam’s oil-and-gas giant. A judge in the graft case involving dozens of defendants warned that corruption by Communist Party members and civil servants threatened the regime’s survival.
Nguyen Xuan Son was convicted by the Hanoi People’s Court of embezzling $2.15 million and abusing his power to appropriate another $8.7 million from Ocean Bank, a joint stock bank in which PetroVietnam had owned 20 percent of shares.
Ocean Bank chairman Ha Van Tham was given a term of life imprisonment for convictions on the same charges at the end of the monthlong trial involving 51 defendants, most of them Ocean Bank executives.
"The acts of Nguyen Xuan Son and Ha Van Tham are particularly serious, infringing on the rights of property of the state and organization causing anger and dissonant among the people that needs to be handled seriously ... in the fight against crimes in general and corruption in particular in the current time," said Truong Viet Toan, one of the two judges in announcing the verdict that lasted nearly three hours.
Toan said corruption degraded a number of Communist Party members and civil servants who stole the people’s trust in the ruling Communist Party and state and threatened to survival of the regime.
These ... err ... "gals" get it.
The all-woman league formerly known as the Lingerie Football League announced this week its belief that America's flag and national anthem are "far too sacred" to protest.
The league, recently rebranded as the Legends Football League, said in a Tuesday statement that its players would not be taking a knee during the national anthem as many of their male counterparts in the NFL have done.
"The LFL recognizes everyone's First Amendment right to protest, but our nation's flag and anthem are far too sacred," the league said. "Too many fellow Americans have made the ultimate sacrifice, so that our flag and anthem continue in all its majesty."
In a video announcing the league's continued support for the national anthem, the LFL pledged to "stand in salute" of the flag.
"It symbolizes all the blood, sweat, and tears that have been shed so that we as Americans can raise our flag across our nation," the organization says during the video. "The LFL salutes all those who make this the greatest country in the world."
"We stand in salute of our flag."
This year's Legends Cup Champions were the Seattle Mist, which defeated the Atlanta Steam 38 to 28 in the finals. The Mist finished the season undefeated.
[BALTIMORESUN] Extra security has been added near the statue of retired Ravens star Ray Lewis at M&T Bank Stadium after he joined current players Sunday in kneeling during the national anthem, provoking calls to remove the likeness. As of mid-afternoon Wednesday, more than 36,000 people had signed an online petition on change.org that advocates for the removal of the Lewis statue “because of his refusal to stand during the National Anthem.

Well, yeah, but it's the Chargers. They're most pathetic team in the NFL. On top of that they just moved in a childish little snit from their loyal fan base in San Diego to Los Angeles where they have no fans and never will because they're pathetic. The owner Dean Spanos is first rate jerk who deserves to lose the franchise. The Stub Hub, IIRC, seats only about 27,000. That's less than half the capacity of other NFL stadiums. That's why they call it the "Stub" Hub. And the Chargers cannot fill it. I'm thinking San Diego voters owe themselves a pat on the back for refusing to finance a new stadium for these clowns.

BLUF:
[LI] With President Donald Trump’s attacks against protesting NFL players still reverberating, the league’s TV partners decided to air live coverage of the national anthem before Week 3 games. Those partners left out a key element of the coverage: crowd shots of angry fans.
Networks typically do not televise the national anthem except for the Super Bowl and other special occasions, but they recognized there would be intense viewer interest this past weekend.
Some fans, if they reacted at all, happily clapped and cheered during protests, but others did not, and they angrily let their home teams know it. The audio mics picked up the boos. Yet the TV networks mostly avoided crowd shots Sunday, so there was never a chance for viewers to see fans jeering players.
A segment of Patriots fans in Foxborough, Mass., for example, nearly booed their own players off the field when some Pats sat or kneeled, with some screaming, "Stand up!"
[TownHall] Longtime Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz has been invited to speak at UC Berkeley by a pro-Israel student group and in typical fashion, he's getting push back.
During an interview with Fox and Friends Thursday morning, Dershowitz revealed the university allows pro-Palestinian speakers to come on campus essentially whenever they like, but require an eight week waiting period before pro-Israel speakers are allowed to participate in events. Further, Berkeley administrators have said he cannot speak there because he is a "high visibility person."
Now, he's threatening to sue.
Mr. Dershowitz retired from professing a few years ago. He can spend all his time on this, if that's what it takes.
"I've been invited to speak at Berkeley but Berkeley says I can't speak there because I'm a 'high visibility person' and if you're high visibility you have to give eight weeks notice unless you're invited by a department," Dershowitz said. "Now, here's the trick. Departments invite anti-Israel speakers all the time so they don't have to go through the eight week thing. But they don't invite pro-Israel speakers. So, we have the eight week barrier whereas anti-Israel speakers don't have the eight week barrier and I'm going to sue Berkeley if they don't allow me to speak and make me wait eight weeks while they allow anti-Israel speakers to come within three or four days. That's a lawsuit."
"They have to have a single standard and we're going to hold them in it," he continued. "If they don't abide by it we're going to take them to court."
[AlAhram] 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 plans to float state oil titan Aramco are prompting the country to think the unthinkable.
Late last year, Saudi Arabia tried to get fellow oil producers around the world to agree to reduce production. Before an OPEC meeting in Vienna in November, Saudi officials were armed with an unprecedented bargaining chip: if there was no deal, the kingdom would quit the exporter group altogether.

[MarketWatch] The numbers: The U.S. economy’s pace of growth in the second quarter was raised to 3.1% from 3% under the government’s latest revisions to gross domestic product. The value of inventories rose by $5.5 billion, stronger than previously reported.
The increase in consumer spending was unchanged at 3.3%. Business investment in structures rose a stronger 7% instead of 6.2%. Exports were revised to show a smaller 3.5% gain. Imports advanced 1.5%.
Adjusted pretax corporate profits climbed 0.7% to an annualized $2.12 trillion, rebounding from a decline in the first quarter.
What happened: The somewhat stronger pace of growth in the spring shown by the latest government figures mostly reflects higher farmer inventories. The production of unsold goods such as crops or new cars adds to GDP.
Other key figures in the government’s third estimate of GDP, including readings on inflation, were little changed.
Big picture: The U.S. expanded in the spring at the fastest clip in two years, showing the economy has plenty of strength left more than eight years into a recovery.
Consumers have carried the load through higher spending, but businesses have upped the ante lately by investing more. Stronger profits also put companies in a better position to spend and invest.
The U.S. is on track to expand slightly faster than 2% in 2017, keeping in line with growth trends since the end of the Great Recession. Yet the recovery is also the weakest by historical standards: The U.S. has historically grown more than 3% a year.
[Hurriyet] President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called on the United States to exchange Pennsylvania-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen with Pastor Andrew Brunson, who has been in jail in Turkey since October 2016.
"We have given you all the documents necessary [for the extradition of Gülen]. But they say, ‘give us the pastor.' You have another pastor in your hands. Give us that pastor and we will do what we can in the judiciary to give you this one," Erdoğan said on Sept. 28.
Brunson was taken into custody on Oct. 7, 2016 on suspicion of "being a threat to national security," while Gülen is said to be the mastermind of the July 2016 coup attempt.
Erdoğan did not detail when or to whom he made this proposal. His last meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump took place on Sept. 21 in New York.
Brunson was sent to the immigration authority for deportation with his wife Norine Lyn Brunson following his detention on Oct. 7, but he was arrested after the release of his wife.
It was reported in May 2017 that Trump expressed Washington's demand for the release of Brunson.
"They say, ‘don't get involved with him.' How come? You say you have a judiciary, do you think we don't? Anyway, the one that we have [in our hands] is being tried, the one you have [in your hands] is not being tried. It is easier for you to give," Erdoğan said.
Trump's friendly words for Erdogan were interpreted as weakness.
The big news isn't the blackmail itself but the fact that Erdogan is blackmailing the US in public.
The Trump admin can now choose between a deeply humiliating submission to Erdogan and great harm coming to an innocent American hostage.
As always this is not between the US and Turkey exclusively. Global players will observe and draw conclusions leading to global repercussions.

I have been following status of christian pastor Andrew Brunson on Jay Sekulow.
There are no legitimate charges against Andrew.
Andrews arrest has nothing to do with security, but has everything to do with Erdogan's Islamic religious intolerance and extremism toward christians.
Since the invasion of Iraq Erdogan has been driving anti-american sentiment in Turkey and using this anti-american sentiment as well as anti-gulenism and anti Kurdish sentiment to gain dictatorial power and take over Turkey.
At the time Erdogan issued a condemnation. But a Turkish justice ministry official said that "Missionary work is even more dangerous than terrorism and unfortunately is not considered a crime in Turkey."
The official Turkish position in 2017 apparently is much better reflected by the latter statement rather than the former.
[Wash Times] Colin Kaepernick started out taking a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality, but his activism has since expanded to encompass a wide range of leftist causes, including a group named after a convicted cop-killer.
The Colin Kaepernick Foundation donated in April $25,000 to Assata’s Daughters, a Chicago "direct action" resistance organization honoring Assata Shakur, who escaped prison and fled to Cuba after being found guilty in the 1973 murder of Officer Werner Foerster.
The grant includes $2,500 for CopWatch, a program that trains volunteers to follow and video police, and $15,000 for teen training, part of the group’s commitment to "develop and train young people, ages 4-19, in the Black queer feminist tradition and in the spirit of Assata."
Apparently Mr. Kaepernick is also a fan: He retweeted a July 16 message wishing Shakur a happy birthday.
The contribution came as part of Mr. Kaepernick’s pledge last year to donate $1 million over 10 months to "organizations working in oppressed communities."

The contribution came as part of Mr. Kaepernick’s pledge last year to donate $1 million over 10 months to "organizations working in oppressed communities."
So, we have another 9-months of trolling to go?
And doesn't $1,000,000/10 = $100,000? Is Mr. Kaepernick's White-half privilege Virtue Signalling only humming along at 25% for the loverly Ms. Chesimard?
imo, Mr. Kaepernick has some serious mental health issues in addition to having problems resolving his DNA with his ROI.

Kaepernick is in a relationship with an ethnic studies professor at Berserkley. She is fanatical to the degree that she makes Angela Davis look moderate.
I think has a lot to do with this relationship.
He's wake up one day and realized he pissed away his career and then he'll cut that laughable 1970's Afro and STFU.
[DAWN] As fear gripped residents of Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... 's Gulistan-e-Jauhar area after reports surfaced of a knife attacker targeting women in the area, police on Thursday said they had launched a manhunt and an investigation into the motivation and identity of the attacker.
Police officials, confirming media reports, said they are looking for an "armed [cycle of violence] rider" who allegedly attacked and maimed a number of women in the area over the past few days.
Three First Information Reports (FIRs) have been registered ─ two at the Shahrah-e-Faisal cop shoppe and one at the Gulistan-e-Jauhar cop shoppe ─ on the complaint of three women who said that they had been attacked by a lone "knife-wielding" motorcyclist.
"We have registered three FIRs regarding incidents in which three women were attacked and maimed," said Superintendent of Police Gulshan-e-Iqbal Ghulam Murtaza Bhutto.
SP Bhutto said that the three attacks had taken place on Monday, whereas the administration at a local hospital had informed the police of another attack on Tuesday.
"The police have launched a manhunt for the arrest of the motorcyclist by deploying plainclothed men. Different localities of Gulistan-e-Jauhar have also been notified," SP Bhutto said.

[DAWN] Four people, including two women, were booked on blasphemy charges in Jamshoro on Thursday for solemnising a marriage under what is known as "Shariat-e-Latifi" (the Code of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai) police told Dawn.
Khanot police lodged first information report (FIR) No. 22/17 under Section 295-A of the Pakistain Penal Code (PPC) after a video clip surfaced showing a woman solemnising the marriage of a man and a woman under "Shariat-e-Latifi".
Section 295-A of the PPC deals with "deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting Its religion or religious beliefs."
It says: "Whoever, with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the 'religious feelings of any class of the citizens of Pakistain, by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representations insults the religion or the religious beliefs of that class, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, or with fine, or with both."
In the video, the bride's father, invites the first woman to solemnise the marriage. "[She] will perform nikkah of my daughter while reciting Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai’s poetry. This will be the first nikkah which will be performed on the basis of ’Shariat-e-Latifi’ and in the Sindhi language," the clip showed the father as saying.
"This nikkah will be recited with the name and prayers of those daughters of Sindh and heroes who have been fighting for the freedom [of Sindh]," he added.
The women who solemnised the marriage is said to have clarified her position on social media but refused to comment when contacted by Dawn.
Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Bashir Ahmed Janwari in the FIR said that eight to 10 other unidentified people were also present at the ceremony.
The father of the bride was placed in durance vile Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! and remanded to 14 days in judicial custody by a court in Kotri today, while Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Irfan Bahadur said the other accused in the case would also be arrested accordingly.
Sindhi intellectuals, on the other hand, condemned the case against the woman who solemnised the marriage and others.
The lawyer who offered to represent her before the Sindh High Court said she would move the court for bail. He also asked the state to take responsibility for her protection.

Let's say Satellite at roughly 400 km altitude, so 167 seconds in projectile travel at which point the sat has moved 1,336 km in an orbital arc. Ran out of time to do the geometry.

The 100 mile capability is overkill. A dash mounted fire control system would be ideal however.

42,543 km circumference of Satellite's arc (assuming circular and not elliptical). Satellite travels 3% of circumference in 167 seconds.
Your lead angle should be about 11.3 degrees in the direction of travel, if I've done this right (lot's more assumptions). Seems like a lot, but that little sucker travels a bit in the just under three minutes it would take for 'contact' by the slug.
Geostationary sats sit out at ~36,000 km, so that's a straight shot, only it would take the projectile almost two hours to get there.
Lot's of assumptions (like the rail gun having no distance limitations or the projectile never slowing down), but we're talking spherical chickens in a vacuum.
Big Friggin' Lasers would work better for small space targets.
Besoeker, I do like the thought of dash-mounted controls, especially when I have to drive in metro Chicago, Minneapolis or Milwaukee. Would want to have to have front and rear delivery systems, though.
And a bigger alternator.

Where does the energy come from to power this beast? The US had another "breakthrough" technology: pneumatic cannons firing dynamite shells in the USS Vesuvius(1888). Interesting idea, air is an ever present propellant, right? Only thing is that explosives are a much more efficient way of storing energy...
Wake me up when they solve the powerplant and energy storage issues...

[DAWN] Setting up a permanent village on the moon is the first step towards exploring Mars, the European Space Agency said on Thursday as plans to reach and colonise the Red Planet gathered pace.
At an annual gathering of 4,000 global space experts in Adelaide, the ESA said the Moon was the "right place to be" as humans expand economic activities beyond low-Earth orbit, even while Mars remained the "ultimate destination".
"We have been living in low-Earth orbit for the last 17 years on board a space station and we are on our journey to Mars for the first human mission," ESA's Piero Messina told AFP at the congress.
"In between, we believe that there is an opportunity to create a permanent... sustainable presence on the surface of the Moon."
Reaching and colonising Mars has been viewed by private and public interests as the next stage in exploring the final frontier and has been a key part of this year's International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide.
Messina said the more immediate goal was to have a permanent presence on the Moon, even if it was just a robot, by the end of the next decade.
"There are a series of missions planned to the moon over the next 10 years, and all these missions will create a movement, a momentum, and will create a wealth of data that will enable building the village," he added.
"I think it's the right time now to start discussing, start planning for something which is as inspiring as the space station but on a truly global, international-cooperation basis."
The space agency has been touting the permanent lunar colony as a replacement for the orbiting International Space Station, which is due to be decommissioned in 2024.

It's been shown that you can manufacture oxygen in a controlled environment on Mars, but it helps if you set up camp near one of the poles. Also, it's been shown that the notion of a preliminary outpost on the Moon is a wastefully dumb idea, instead place a number of payloads in one of the Moon's Lagrangian points - assemble in weightlessness, and you're off to Mars.
Powdered soy milk and strawberry (don't forget the Aloe Vera gel - you'll need it because of the radiation) would be excellent for breakfast, and supply ships containing attractive young teenage women (I'll go with Poles again for this one), along with lots of Omaha Steaks, charcoal, some lighter fluid and an apparatus for fermenting whiskry would round out the payload.
Don't know about nitrogen - if it's really necessary simply place bags of the steaks out in the radiation.

I'd prefer plans for a moon to "space elevator/tether" which is possible with today's technology to be planned.
Or even electromagnetic cannon for launching cargo.
or a solar-powered mineral extraction device.
[DefenseSystems] Drones "need to react quickly to moving objects in uneven lighting conditions. Conventional video cameras are too slow and specialized high-frame rate cameras produce too much data to process in real time," said a spokesperson from iniLabs, an industry collaborator.
To solve this problem, the newly developed Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) technology mimics the human eye’s ability to focus on specific areas that have low-light intensity, according to David Scaramuzza, Director of the Robotics Perception Group at the University of Zurich.
In order to devote extra processing power to the darker frame areas, the DVS technology does not constantly update the entire image frame. Instead, it relies on stored memories of the unchanged parts of the frame and matches them with the highly-focused input from the low-light areas to complete the view.
"Instead of wastefully sending entire images at fixed frame rates, only the local pixel-level changes cause by movement in a scene are transmitted," explained Scaramuzza.
The ability to "see" in the dark is an important component of developing non-GPS reliant drones.
"Small, low-cost unmanned aircraft rely heavily on tele-operators and GPS, " explained JC Ledé, Program Manager for the Fast Lightweight Autonomy program at DARPA. However, GPS signals are susceptible to jamming and disruption. As a result, DARPA, industry developers, and research teams are working on alternative methods for position, timing, and navigation (PNT), including ways to "see" in the dark.

This seems to me to just be image compression at the camera end.
[DAWN] Two Malaysian teenagers were charged on Thursday with murder after being accused of intentionally setting fire at an Islamic boarding school that killed 23 people, mostly students.
The accused boys are minors but prosecutor Othman Abdullah said he couldn't immediately provide their exact ages.
Because of their age, they will not face a possible death penalty. Othman said no plea was taken from the two boys and the magistrate set a hearing for November 28.
They were among seven teenagers detained days after the September 14 blaze for allegedly using cooking gas tanks and petrol to set fire to a dormitory on the top floor of the tahfiz school, where Moslem students learn to memorise the Koran.
The blaze blocked the lone exit to the dormitory, trapping students behind barred windows, killing two teachers and 21 students between the ages of 6 to 17.
Police have said the suspects sought Dire Revenge after allegedly being teased by some tahfiz students a few days before the fire.
Othman said the two murder suspects, plus four other boys who were detained, have been charged with drug abuse. One of the seven has been released due to lack of evidence, he added.
Several family members of the fire victims and journalists were shooed out of the court room before the teens were charged.
Mas Aliza Ali Bapoo, 22, said she hopes the court will mete out justice for her three cousins who died in the blaze ‐ the three boys aged 13, 11 and 10 joined the school in January.

Immigration officials on Thursday announced hundreds of arrests in an operation targeting communities where police and elected officials have refused to fully cooperate on enforcing federal immigration laws.
ICE said it arrested 167 people in and around Los Angeles, a region in which several cities and counties have been tagged by justice officials as being so-called sanctuaries ‐ a loosely defined term used to describe local governments that restrict police from assisting immigration authorities identify and detain people suspected of being in the country illegally.
Arrests were also made in San Francisco and San Jose. Overall, ICE said it arrested nearly 500 people across the country over the last few days.
The surge of arrests was similar in size to several past operations ICE has carried out in recent years. But the focus on places deemed by justice officials to be soft on illegal immigration served to ratchet up an already tense standoff. Good

1) Thanks for dressing up for the foto.
2) Mao was a librarian by trade.
[Circa] A school librarian in Cambridge, Massachusetts, rejected a shipment of books that was donated by first lady Melania Trump, according to CBS Boston.
CBS Boston on Wednesday reported that Liz "Liz The Librarian"
Phipps Soeiro of Cambridgeport Elementary School turned down the works Trump intended to send.
The White House chose one school in all 50 states to receive a package of 10 books authored by children’s literary author Dr. Seuss.
The initiative was meant to promote education and childhood literacy as part of National Read A Book Day.
Soeiro on Tuesday penned an editorial for the Horn Book’s Family Reading blog explaining why her school did not need the donation.
"My students have access to a school library with over nine thousand volumes and a librarian with a graduate degree in literary science," she wrote.
"Multiple studies show that schools with professionally staffed libraries improve student performance," Soeiro added.
*shrug* So send it to a school whose librarian will appreciate $200 worth of apolitical books added to the shelves, since Ms Soeiro's budget is clearly adequate to her students' reading needs.
Some Twitter users on Thursday criticized Soerio’s decision, while others praised the school librarian instead. Here's a photo of the li'l darling. Notice the backdrops.:

I loved "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish." Not quite as existential as "Green Eggs and Ham", but still a classic. And much more fun than Principia Mathematica, which I assume is what Ms. Professional Librarian feeds the little Cambridge tykes.
While Dr. Seuss himself might be both patriarchal and possibly Juicish, I can't believe there aren't some little kids in Cambridge that would love to have their own copy.
