Pregnant Marine Cpl. Maria Lauterbach was believed to have been killed by a crowbar blow to the head, a federal law enforcement official involved in the case tells the Blotter on ABCNews.com. As the search widened for her suspected murderer, Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean, initial autopsy results on Lauterbach's burned body, found buried in a North Carolina field, indicate that Lauterbach was eight-months pregnant with a baby girl, the official said.
Earlier reports from Lauterbach's hometown in Ohio had said the unborn baby was a boy, to be named Gabriel Joseph. She had told her family she believed her unborn child was a boy based on an early sonogram. Officials say a second autopsy will be conducted by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Officials at the Onslow County, N.C. sheriff's office have confirmed they have the suspected weapon in their possession but not confirmed it is a crowbar.

hopefully he gets caught. Then gets shot resisting arrest - no need to waste taxpayer$$$ on this trial & the subsequent appeals.
(Itar-Tass) -- The Tomsk region in West Siberia will have to survive record bitter cold on Friday, as temperature is to fall to minus 42 degrees Centigrade, and a storm warning has been announced.
Frosts of minus 30 degrees have been reported in the region for a week, causing local power outages due to immense electricity consumption, as residents switched on all the heaters. Houses in nine streets of the regional center of Tomsk, including central Lenin Avenue, remained without electricity on Monday for half a day. Another seven main streets were in blackout for a whole day on Tuesday. Power engineers fear new outages because of bitter frosts, which weathermen said would continue in the coming days.

Joe, give me a heads up when you and the Mendiolistani tribe are massing to invade DC. I'll meet you at the border (under a parley flag of course), and we will take salt and talk of affairs. I will also provide whiskey for your men and beer for your horses.

That image looks manipulated to me. There's some structure in the flames which suggests that they have been extended to appear larger than they actually are.

Sometimes I wakes up in the morning on such a day as today, with 45 f and STRATIFORM rain, and get low, real low, then I have some COLUMBIAN coffee and remember that JOE! is on our side and I feel better, knowing there's nothing that can stop an honest man.

Doesn't appear to be terrorism involved. Some additional pictures and info at the link.
The real hero of the Heathrow crash landing was revealed yesterday as a man named Coward.
Straight after the drama Captain Peter Burkill was praised for safely bringing down his stricken Boeing 777 with 136 passengers on board.
But Captain Burkill admitted yesterday that Senior First Officer John Coward was at the controls when the plane suffered a catastrophic power failure in both engines 40 seconds from landing. The initial investigation report confirmed both engines had failed two miles from the airport.
"Flying is about teamwork - and we had an outstanding team on board yesterday," said the 43-year-old father of five. "I am proud to say that every member of the team played their part expertly, displaying the highest standards of skill and professionalism. No-one more so than my senior first officer John Coward - who was the handling pilot in the final stages of the flight - and did the most remarkable job. My first officer, Conor Magenis, also assisted continually."

I get a telephone call from INDIA. It is the Dell service team rep, who I had been in contact in the afternoon by a chat box about the loss of audio in my old Dell computer.
He tells me he wants to take control of my computer and repair it.
He then takes control of the computer, while I have some supper. After trying to repair the computer audio, he finally decides to restore the computer back 6 days.
WORKED LIKE A CHARM. Audio is back!!
Amazing, it all worked. My internet wireless link, which is about 1 mile over the water, goes to India and back again.
Doesn't it make you a little uncomfortable though that a geek in India can get inside your computer and screw around with its guts? Why can't other geeks do this to the cockpit's computer flying on autopilot!???

I can explain, Barbara. There are movable flaps at the trailing edges of the wings that can be lowered. This increases wing area and therefotre lift. They also increase drag as they are pointed at a down angle. Flaps are ALWAYS lowered when an aircraft takes off and lands. The extra lift is needed at these times because the aircraft has not attained cruising speed.

Two miles, at landing speed. is between 30 seconds to one minute.

I'm thinking that since they had zero power they left the flaps up on approach to minimize drag / keep speed up, but when they decided they were low they then lowered the flaps to get some extra lift.
NEW DELHI: As many as 45 million bottles of liquor and beer have been consumed in Jammu and Kashmir in the past two years despite militants enforcing a ban on alcoholic drinks.
Around 64 percent of the states licensed shops are registered in the name of females and 82 of 155 license-holders are also women.
Licences: The National Conference, the J&Ks main opposition, which is seeking a blanket ban on the sale of liquor in the state, has slammed the government for giving women licences to sell liquor.
Srinagar has a few watering holes, that too in the high-security zone, and yet they recorded sales of 799,000 liquor bottles and 574,000 bottles of beer in less than 20 months since April 2006. The state governments statistics presented in the assembly in Jammu on Thursday showed an upward trend in liquor consumption in the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley, while the Hindu-majority Jammu division witnessed a substantial decline.
Liquor sales in the Kashmir division shot up from 385,000 bottles in 2006 to 414,000 bottles in 2007, while the Jammu division recorded a decline from 19.1 million to 13.3 million bottles during the same period. Beer sales in the Kashmir division swelled from 165,000 bottles in 2006 to 409,000 bottles in 2007.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
