CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - Police in Chattanooga say they're investigating two damaged vehicles outside a Jewish cultural center, including one that was severely burned.
No one was injured. Authorities were called to the center early Sunday. Chattanooga police spokeman Kyle Miller says fire officials have asked the police department to lead the investigation.
Media outlets report police have notified the FBI and are looking for evidence to determine whether a hate crime occurred.
Miller says police plan to increase patrols at Jewish centers and synagogues.
INTERNAL POLICE BULLETIN: CFD 1357 CPD 10147 Multiple car fires also attempted building fire. Location of 5461 N. Terrace, Jewish Cultural Center. All agencies need to patrol their Jewish buildings.
[TIME] A Florida woman was found dead on Friday in a motel room with two caged monkeys and a note, authorities said. "She's dead, Jim! The monkeys aren't!"
Police said they found Linda Marie Smith, 59, of Arcadia, in a room at the Budget Inn in North Port, Fla. on Friday. An "incoherent" man, whose name has not yet been released, was also in the room and is being questioned by authorities. "She's dead! [SOB!] [Whimper!] D-d-d-d-dead! [SLAP!]"
It's unclear what was written in the note. "Milk
Butter
Eggs
Detergent..."
There were also no obvious signs of trauma to Smith's body, North Port police said, and the cause of death is under investigation. "Doctor Quincy! You're here at last!"
The two Capuchin monkeys are in good health and are now under the care of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, authorities said.

[Dhaka Tribune] A Dhaka court yesterday sent Md Kamal Hossain, the lone arrestee in Pahela Baishakh sexual assault incident, to jail after he refused to give confessional statement in the case.
Metropolitan Magistrate Md Nuru Miah passed the order.
Earlier, DB Sub-Inspector Dipak Kumar Das, also investigation officer (IO), produced Kamal before the magistrate with a petition to record his confessional statement.
In the petition the IO mentioned that Kamal admitted to them that he was involved in the incident and he would give a confessional statement to a magistrate in this connection.
Later, following Kamal's refusal, the magistrate ordered to send him to jail. Earlier on Thursday another metropolitan magistrate placed him on a two-day remand for interrogation.
DB jugged You have the right to remain silent... the first accused from a house of the capital's Chawkbazar over the sexual assaults on Wednesday.
The arrest of Kamal, 35, came just into a little over a month after the Sherlocks submitted the final report in the case to a Dhaka court, saying they had failed to identify or arrest anyone in connection with the incident.
The latest development has now prompted them to seek revival of the case. IO Dipak, on Thursday submitted an application to the Dhaka Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-3 seeking revival of the sexual assault case.
The court fixed February 23 to pass an order on the appeal.
On April 14, last year, gangs of unruly youths swooped on around five to seven women and sexually harassed them when thousands of people joined the Pohela Boishakh celebrations in the DU's TSC and Suhrawardy Udyan gate areas.
The joyous celebration of the Bangalee's biggest festival was tainted by the incidents that sparked a wave of protest throughout the country with people from all quarters.
Later, police filed a case with Shahbagh cop shoppe over the incidents on April 17.
Although the police initially denied the incident, they later released photos of eight suspected offenders and announced bounty for providing information about them.

[FREEBEACON] A U.S. Navy destroyer carried out a second transit near a disputed South China Sea island claimed by China and two other nations, the Pentagon announced Saturday.
China's Defense Ministry denounced the warship transit and said its forces had forced the destroyer USS Curtis Wilbur out of the area.
Did they fly a drone directly overhead?
Pentagon front man Cmdr. Bill Urban said the freedom of navigation operation by the Wilbur took place Saturday near Triton Island in the Paracel Islands chain in the northern part of the sea "to challenge excessive maritime claims."
"This operation challenged attempts by the three claimants, China, Taiwan and Vietnam, to restrict navigation rights and freedoms around the features they claim by policies that require prior permission or notification of transit within territorial seas," Urban said in a statement.
The Wilbur, a guided missile destroyer, passed within 12 nautical miles of Triton Island.
"This operation was about challenging excessive maritime claims that restrict the rights and freedoms of the United States and others, not about territorial claims to land features," he added.

As long as the USN stays outside the 12-nm limits to China's claimed islands, China will get both its islands + airfields - I'll start worrying when the USN begins moving in closer than 12-nms to China's islands becuz then all bets are off as to how Beijing will respond.

ALL BETS ARE OFF IFF THE BAMMER SENDS IN THE USN-USDOD CLOSER TO CHINA'S CLAIMED ISLANDS INSIDE THE 12-NM LIMITS. I suspect that even iff the Bammer sends in the USN-USDOD closer to China's claimed islands than 12-nms, CHINA WILL STILL SEEMINGLY "WIN" ANY MIL OR MILPOL CONFRONTATION AGZ THE USA. Ditto as per Russia + Iran.

[LI] The first open-air public urinal in San Francisco has been unveiled in the city's Delores Park.
The concrete circular urinal was opened in the latest move to combat the destructive scourge of public urination in the city.
And although it is in the open air, it does afford users some privacy as a screen protects the front of the urinal and it is surrounded by plants.
...They were the park's first upgrades in 60 years and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department say they are unaware of any other cities with a public urinal.

Well I suppose that's better than the "human urinal" who is routinely featured at the Folsom Street Fair. And no, you really don't want to Google that.
[PJmedia] According to Fox News' chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge, her contacts in the FBI and DOJ are "super pissed off" at what White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said about Hillary Clinton's email problems Friday. "That's not something I'm worried about," he told reporters at the daily briefing.
Earnest threw cold water on predictions that Hillary Clinton will face a Justice Department indictment for mishandling classified information on her private and unsecure email server while secretary of State..
"That will be a decision that will be made by the Department of Justice," he said. "Some officials have said she is not the target of the investigation and it does not seem to be the direction in which it is trending."
Pressed again on whether he believed Clinton could get indicted, Earnest said firmly: "It doesn't seem to be headed in that direction."
Catherine Herridge told Greta Van Susteren on Fox News Friday evening that her sources in the FBI and Justice Department have "their backs up" over Earnest's comments. Catherine Herridge may wish to recruit new contacts and sources. Her current contacts appear quite naive.

any prosecution now would be plea bargained down to almost nothing and pardoned. A prosecution after the a republican victory in november might have very different results.

Use the prohibition against double jeopardy to shield the beast. Interesting. I wonder if Lynch and the champ could be charged in a RICO conspiracy come next January.

[WAPO] Senior CIA officials have for years intentionally deceived parts of the agency workforce by transmitting internal memos that contain false information about operations and sources overseas, according to current and former U.S. officials who said the practice is known by the term "eyewash."
Agency veterans described the tactic as an infrequent but important security measure, a means of protecting vital secrets by inserting fake communications into routine cable traffic while using separate channels to convey accurate information to cleared recipients.
But others cited a significant potential for abuse. Beyond the internal distrust implied by the practice, officials said there is no clear mechanism for labeling eyewash cables or distinguishing them from legitimate records being examined by the CIA's inspector general, turned over to Congress or declassified for historians. A Klingon disinformation campaign using internal sources and leaks to target the Congress, the media, and historians? How novel....well, not really.

Carnary. Place a provocative paragraph that would appeal to the NYT in a document. Each numbered and tracked document uses slightly different words so that when it appears in print (or an intercepted communication) it can be traced back to a specific numbered copy and its signature list. Ho hum.

Sven, Tom Clancy described that technique in detail in one of his early books. Seems like it would work.

I may or may not have once been given a numbered document whose 3rd paragraph was mighty strange. I may or may not have asked a colleague about it who looked at his numbered document and we may or may not have noticed that a few words were different.
The old tricks are the best tricks. Using it to fool Congress would be an interesting twist. Kind of like the seven Potters.

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.
