Half of US Nuclear Missile Wing Implicated In Cheating

by samzenpus
mdsolar writes "Just over half of the 183 nuclear missile launch officers at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana have been implicated in a widening exam cheating scandal, the Air Force said on Thursday, acknowledging it had 'systemic' problem within its ranks. The cheating was discovered during an investigation into illegal drug possession among airmen, when test answers were found in a text message on one missile launch officer's cell phone. The Air Force initially said 34 officers either knew about the cheating or cheated themselves. But Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James told a Pentagon news conference on Thursday that the total number of implicated officers had grown to 92, all of them at Malmstrom, one of three nuclear missile wings overseeing America's 450 inter-continental missiles, or ICBMs."

George Zimmerman Signs On For Celebrity Boxing, Now Seeking Opponent

George Zimmerman Signs On For Celebrity Boxing, Now Seeking Opponent

George Zimmerman just got through fighting for his freedom, and now the man famous for killing teen Trayvon Martin is ready to step into the ring for a different kind of fight.

Zimmerman said he has signed on for a Celebrity Boxing match, a hobby he’s followed long before the ill-fated night in 2012 where he shot and killed Martin.

“It was my idea,” Zimmerman told Radar Online. “Prior to the incident I was actually going to the gym for weight loss and doing boxing-type training for weight loss and a mutual friend put me in contact with [Celebrity Boxing CEO Damon Feldman] and provided me with an opportunity and motivation to get back in shape and continue with my weight loss goals and also be able to help a charity out.”

The Celebrity Boxing organization has put on fights for other D-list celebrities including Jon Gosselin’s girlfriend Hailey Glassman, Jenny Jen from the Rad Girls, and “Long Island Lolita” Amy Fisher.

Zimmerman refused to disclose what charity the fight would be benefiting, saying he didn’t want to attract any negative attention to it.

“I’d love to tell you [the charity] but unfortunately there’s so much animosity still from people out there, that if I name the charity now they would get bombarded with negativity, so I’d rather not,” he said.

“I’ll leave it up to them to say if they want it to be publicized or not. But I will tell you that it’s an animal rescue.”

While George is still seeking an opponent, he’s already got one taker. Rapper and Compton native The Game said he would like to step into the ring with Zimmerman so he could “beat the f**k out of him.”

“I would not be boxing for me, I’d be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and for his family,” The Game said.

The George Zimmerman Celebrity Boxing match is scheduled for March 1. His promoter is still seeking an opponent, and is soliciting offers at fightgeorge@hotmail.com.

Heroin Happy Meal In Pittsburgh Costs $82, Still Comes With Toy

by Jason Savage

heroin happy meal pittsburgh

Heroin Happy Meals were being served up at a Pittsburgh McDonald’s. Shantia Dennis, 26, was caught selling the Happy Meals laced with heroin by undercover cops who were responding to a criminal report. Besides the ten stamp bags of heroin in the Happy Meal, police also recovered 50 more bags and some marijuana as well.

According to the CBS Pittsburgh affiliate, customers who were interested in getting the special Happy Meals were instructed to mention in the drive through that they wanted to “order a toy for a boy”. Dennis would then tell the buyer to pull up to the first window, where a Happy Meal with heroin and an actual toy would be waiting for them. Undercover narcotics officers received a SpongeBob SquarePants toy in theirs.

Officers pulled up to the window as instructed and handed Dennis $82. She placed two dollars in the register and stuffed the remaining $80 in her bra. She was arrested on the spot. Dennis is charged with possession, criminal use of a communication facility, prohibited acts of delivery, and possession with intent to deliver.

After the whole Heroin/Happy Meal story, I find this promo on McDonald’s web page to be kinda funny. http://t.co/mtHQp1Z8Xs

So far, no connection has been made with a deadly batch of heroin that is taking the lives of users in western Pennsylvania. The deadly heroin is labeled “theraflu” on their stamp bags, just like the over the counter medicine. It is believed that this particular brand of heroin is more potent than the normal amount of toxicity in the narcotic.

The police have not said whether the heroin Happy Meals had any writing on the stamp bags recovered by the undercover agents. Parents and families with young children are certainly concerned that something other than actual toys might show up in their Happy Meals.

Samsung Shape: the Right Way to Do Wi-Fi Speakers

by Matt Schneiderman
Samsung-shape
Feed-twFeed-fb

Wi-fi connected speakers are finally going mainstreamSamsung's Wi-Fi Shape speaker ($399.99) takes the idea two steps further: It allows for both a multi-room experience (if you have more than one), and it supports Bluetooth and NFC for even more flexibility

It's a versatile system that sounds and looks great, though the user experience isn't quite as exemplary.

Setup is easy enough, particularly with the optional Hub, which sells for an extra $49.99. Without the Hub, an M7 speaker can still be set up on a Wi-Fi network fairly painlessly — though the router needs a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button to sync up (missing on older Apple AirPorts).

Edward Snowden nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

by Xeni Jardin

Two politicians in Norway nominated NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden for a Nobel Peace Prize. Brian Fung for the Washington Post:

In their nomination letter, Baard Vegar Solhjell and Snorre Valen, who hail from the Socialist Left party, said Snowden's revelations "contributed to a more stable and peaceful world order." Nominations — which are generally secret but sometimes announced by those submitting the paperwork — must be filed by Feb. 1. Snowden likely has dozens of competitors, so there's no guarantee he'll get anywhere. Still, it'd be ironic if Snowden and Obama each wound up winning the same honor just a handful of years apart.

How fast are we really moving through space?

It might seem like a simple question, but as this TED-Ed video beautifully illustrates, the task of measuring an object's speed as it's traveling through space is far more complicated than it looks — even if you're aboard the starship Enterprise.

Romney: “I must admit … I was getting a little upset at Candy”

by Ed Morrissey
D G

until it's made unacceptable for the media to interject with their bias, we're fucked. It's bad enough in day-to-day news, but debates?!

"... also a mistake on her part."


Consider this today’s exercise in understatement.  The intervention in the second presidential debate by CNN’s Candy Crowley touched off outrage from Republicans and no small amount of criticism from other journalists — especially when Crowley turned out to be wrong on her statement of fact, and then very wrong when the facts on Benghazi and […]
