The military and police could learn from this
Note: the link constantly updates. This was in it:
all of the dead or injured were "members of criminal biker gangs." Bystanders at the shopping center and a nearby restaurant -- as well as police present when the shootout spilled into the parking lot -- were "all unscathed,"
Slashdot is a DHI service.
And was left to wonder if the Slashdot parent company was bought out. Apparently they just changed their name for better branding. I'm sure this can only lead to good things for this site, right?
What, the monkeys can't form a bucket brigade? Ahh, but oil from Canada to Texas, that we gotta do!

It is becoming even more obvious that the Official Narrative is being written by Hollywood (as work for hire, of course), not the other way around. Maybe that's what makes it so much more compelling. Really the very fuzzy dividing line is the production value, not the content. The interesting thing in all the kabuki is how people so easily dismiss out of hand any contradiction to the Official Narrative. The magic still works to this day. Obama wants to be Rambo. I see him more as Bart in Blazing Saddles, riding off in his limo into the sunset.
That's what this is... Somebody is wearing a hat! I'm sure you can find it in high def somewhere.
You know, if you are serious about things like term limits, you should apply them to the laws and all our treaties. Sunset everything, the entire damn government.
Chrome's new bookmark manager is definitely a poster child for "half-ass it then push it to the masses". It seems to be working hard to almost replicate the Windows 8.0 Metro interface that everyone loved down to the "checkmark a tile to open the menu".
Tips:
If you want to make a new folder, go to the folder you want it to be in and press the NEW button on the left outside of the folders, there's no button for it on the right inside the folder (but there is a button to delete the entire folder from inside the folder).
If you want to drag items into your new folder, drop them quick. If you hesitate Chrome decides that you are re-ordering the items and you want the bookmark to go before the folder even though your mouse is directly over the tile.
If you have nested folders, opening a subfolder seems to randomly display all the elements in the center of the screen where you can't click on anything because its all on top of each other. Sometimes. There's no tree view of nested folders. Top level folders are on the left, after that you have to drill down individually.
No right clicking. Haven't you heard that there's no way to right click on a tablet?
When you checkmark a folder you don't get the option to edit its name or description. You have to open the folder then rename it from the inside.
Still traumatized by the 2012 "dog-and-pony show," which he called an "embarrassment and ridiculous," Priebus has decreed that this time the circus can have only nine rings, I mean debates, compared with about two dozen in the 2012 cycle. Only media outlets Priebus can stomach will get the chance to broadcast one of them. The left-leaning MSNBC will be excluded and its parent, NBC, will have to share its one debate with Telemundo. Fox and CNBC have been granted debates along with CNN after it dropped plans for a Hillary docudrama.
Limiting the number of debates may or may not help. What Priebus really needs to do is limit the number of debaters. He publicly atoned for not doing it last time but so far he hasn't come up with a way to prevent another melee. He'll have to act fast to find a formula before the first debate in August in Ohio, sponsored by Fox.
Priebus saw the damage last time as the eventual winner, Mitt Romney, repeatedly found himself on stage with people who weren't going to win anything but frequent flyer miles but could still goad him into musing about "self-deportation."
If Priebus doesn't come up with something, the eventual winner this time will be sharing a stage with Carson comparing the U.S. under President Barack Obama to Nazi Germany or the Internal Revenue Service to the Gestapo. But Carson is the only black candidate, and that matters to a party that recognizes it has a likability deficit with minorities.
Similarly, eliminating Fiorina would reignite the War on Women meme. Fiorina isn't as out there as Carson, but she has no hope of making a dent, given her credentials as a losing Senate candidate, who had previously been ousted as chief executive of Hewlett-Packard for a questionable merger and huge layoffs, a record that is likely to come up a lot.
And how can he nudge evangelical favorite Huckabee to the side? He wasn't a clown in 2008 but he, his party and his Fox audience have moved to the right since then. In his campaign manifesto, "God, Guns, Grits and Gravy," and on the stump, the former governor dishes out opprobrium to a wasteland of miscreants. He assails the mainstream media, Jay-Z, the "ick factor" in gay relationships and gay adoption (because "children are not puppies"). And he has become a survivalist hawking quack medicine, even though, like the other former governor from Hope, he became rich after leaving office.

The 2-year-old boy who used a family gun to accidentally shoot himself in the face on Thursday night was in stable but critical condition on Friday morning, according to Peoria police.
Detectives said the gun belongs to the boy's father, who was not home at the time. Preliminary investigation indicated that the gun was rolled up in sheets on the master bedroom bed.
And, as usual:
no criminal charges are pending at this time, police said.
By now everyone's heard the news of Bruce Jenner's gender identity not matching up with his physical identity.
Now, last month I rented out my spare bedroom to a guy (his mom vouched for him). Anyway, he's a hockey freak, and the games come on right after the supper-time news broadcasts.
So, I'm sitting on my couch watching the tail end of the news, while he's sitting beside me waiting for the game. The last item was a Bruce Jenner story follow-up. He goes "hmmph!" I say "I take it you don't approve?" "I don't get it. If you were born a man, you should stay a man. That's how God made him."
He has no clue
As late as last year, I remember Net Neutrality being a libertarian free market concept- preventing a crony corporate takeover of the Internet. Now that it is being implemented by the FCC, it has suddenly become a crony corporate (Democrat Brand) takeover of the Internet, that all good libertarians should oppose.
I haven't had political whiplash like this since the Catholic Church went from those nice monks doing AIDS research and running hospice care centers to those bigots who want to keep THOSE people from marrying.
"Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
