In the past most dedicated students said they couldn't be paid to go to the U. of Arizona, the glorified junior college. It seems that Miller, at least, has found a way.
[Right Scoop] The FBI released a transcript of the call they received about Nikolas Cruz before the shooting, and it’s crazy. The tipster couldn’t have made it more clear, and they still did nothing.
The tipster says he was into ISIS, but that’s because of what she saw on his Instagram – we posted some of it here.
Still, it’s unbelievable that the FBI had all of this and did nothing.
Here’s the lesson from the Parkland shooting everyone should get, but won’t:

Found a comment elsewhere to explain away / discount the fact of this ignored warning: the volume of credible threats that have to be processed must be overwhelming
Interested to hear how other 'Burgers would respond to this deflection attempt.

#6, Anguper, stop wire tapping presidential candidates and pay more attention to credible threats to shoot up schools. Pass warnings like this to the local FBI field office. Are the local agents too busy to check up on a kid like Cruz? Did the warning get passed to the local field office? Um, I guess it didn't.

I recommend Jeff Sessions appoint Sheriff Joe Arpaio as a special investigator. Joe could hand pick a couple of assistants (Mark Fuhrman and David Clarke if they're not busy) and probably get to the bottom of this thing in about 3 days and have a final report back to Sessions within a week.
Get off your butt Jeff, fok'n do SOMETHING, even it it's wrong !

Interested to hear how other 'Burgers would respond to this deflection attempt.
[from the transcript] The audio is stored in a file titled 010518_0231_pm_Nikolas_Cruz_Phone_Call.wav.
There is no indication of when the 13 minute audio session was processed but the transcript completion date appears to be 2/15/2018.
Perhaps some 41 days later during which the content was recognized to be significant enough to generate a report. One day AFTER the shootings.
[Breitbart] Gov. Rick Scott (R) is pushing firearm confiscation orders and stands opposed to the suggestion that teachers should be armed for school safety.
CNN reports that Scott is pushing a "Violent Threat Restraining Order," which are similar to California’s Gun Violence Restraining Orders in that they a designed to secure court orders to confiscate firearms following a family member’s complaint.
It is difficult to see how such orders‐designed to be triggered by family requests‐would have been effective against Nikolas Cruz. After all, the family with which he was staying repeatedly called the police on him in November 2017 but refused to file charges when sheriff’s deputies arrived. A member of the family with which Cruz was staying explained away Cruz’s erratic behavior by saying he "had been suffering significantly from the loss of his mother" earlier in the month.
Scott is also pushing a bump stock ban, "tougher background checks," more stringent rules against the mentally ill, and a ban on purchasing or possessing firearms by anyone "subject to an injunction for protection against stalking, cyberstalking, dating violence, repeat violence, sexual violence, or domestic violence.

What is beginning to emerge in Broward County Florida appears to be a tragic example of selective enforcement, based on race. Mind the crime and incarceration statistics. Our only industry is tourism and we don't need any Malmo, Sweden stories.
BTW, any cash estate (estimated to be somewhat large) that the murdering, nutcase Cruz may have inherited from his deceased parents should be forfeited and ordered split among the families of the victims, NOT his related caretakers.
They didn't file charges or take appropriate legal actions, they are part of the problem.

Thanks! We ran it here yesterday or the day before. Quite revealing.
[KIRO7] The dog confronted the burglars, who beat him until he was bloody. The dog ran back upstairs.
With the dog out of sight, the home invasion continued as the two burglars trashed the house room by room. When they came into the bedroom where the teen and the dog were hiding in the closet, and the teen was on the phone with 911, the dog stood up to them with the little strength he had left.
He threw himself at the burglars, the teen's family wrote on a GoFundMe page, and was shot four times in the neck, leg and knee.
As the sound of sirens became audible, the burglars ran away.
Officers found smashed sliding door glass when they went into the home to get the teen outside safely. They also found Rex, who at first looked dead.
While SWAT teams looked for the suspects, Rex was taken to the animal hospital.
[NYP] Not one but four sheriff’s deputies hid behind cars instead of storming Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during last week’s school shooting, according to a new report.
Sources from Coral Springs Police Department tell CNN that when officers arrived on the scene, they were shocked to find three Broward County Sheriff’s deputies behind their cars with their weapons drawn.
The school’s armed resource officer, Deputy Scot Peterson was also outside ‐ he resigned Thursday over his failure to act.
The cops entered the building to engage the shooter on their own, and then a new batch of Broward County deputies arrived, and two of those officers ‐ plus an officer from Sunrise, Florida ‐ joined the police inside the building, the sources said.
It’s unclear if the shooter was still inside at the time, CNN reports.

[PJ] The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is asking for the public's help in identifying populations of invasive nutria (Myocasator coypus). The giant, rodents, natives of South America, have reportedly been reproducing in California, and CDFW authorities are trying to determine the extent of the infestation.
"To date, nutria have been found in wetlands, rivers, canals and other freshwater habitat in Merced, Fresno and Stanislaus counties," CDFW explained in a recent bulletin. "If allowed to establish, nutria will severely impact California’s resources, causing the loss of wetlands, severe soil erosion, damage to agricultural crops and levees and reduced stability of banks, dikes and roadbeds, as they have done in Louisiana, Chesapeake Bay and the Pacific Northwest. Nutria also degrade water quality and contaminate drinking supplies with parasites and diseases transmissible to humans, livestock and pets."
A multiagency Nutria Response Team has been activated, tasked with creating a nutria eradication plan.
"We have no idea how many there are or how they were reintroduced," CDFW spokesman Peter Tira told NPR. "We don’t know if someone set one loose or if there was an isolated population out there that we didn’t know about. But we do know we have to get rid of them."

[All Africa] Former president Bob Muggsy Mugabe Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case. Dumped in November 2017 when the Missus decided she wanted to be president, and opposed heer might against Crocodile Mnangawa Important safety tip: If your opponent goes by the name Crocodile andf your title is Shopper in Chief let him win.... this week came out guns blazing at his successor President Emmerson Mnangagwa during his first ever briefing to outsiders since his ousting by the military last November, saying his successor's rule is "unconstitutional", detailed notes provided by those who attended the meeting show.
In a scathing brief to African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Commission (AU) chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat at his "Blue Roof" mansion in Harare's Borrowdale suburb on Monday afternoon, Mugabe said the Mnangagwa government was illegal and the AU should help to "restore normality and democracy in Zim-bob-we".
In the emotionally-charged meeting, Mugabe also said the country was effectively under military rule, hence the need to urgently restore democratic order.
He said he was willing to call a spade a spade as he was not afraid of anyone to help bring Zim-bob-we back to a constitutional and legal path. He added that his security and wellbeing were not guaranteed as he was being denied his constitutional benefits while his wife was being harassed.
Mugabe further said the upcoming general elections would not be free and fair as they would be run by the military.
Apart from Mugabe and Mahamat, the meeting was also attended by Mugabe's wife Grace, AU Commissioner (Political Affairs) Minata Samate Cessouma, the AU chair's interpreter, Zanu PF secretary for administration Obert Mpofu, chief secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet Misheck Sibanda, Zim-bob-we's former ambassador to Namibia Chipo Zindoga, and a former diplomat in Angola now a bigwig in the Foreign Affairs and International Trade ministry. The interpreter translated from French to English, and vice-versa as Mahamat asked to speak in French, but listen to Mugabe's address in English.
The meeting, recorded by several officials who attended, began with the usual greetings and an exchange of pleasantries between Mugabe and the AU officials before serious business commenced.
Mahamat who met with Mugabe, Mnangagwa and Foreign Affairs and International Trade minister Sibusiso Moyo and National Assembly Speaker Jacob Mudenda, among other officials, ‐ then indicated he was in Zim-bob-we on a fact-finding mission to understand the political and security situation on the ground in the aftermath of events which occurred in November last year. He did not use the words "coup" or "transition" in his address at the meeting, notes show.

[MIAMIHERALD] Venezuela's cash-strapped government faces eviction from a Miami building it once owned after its consulate failed to pay rent since August.
The notice demanding the consulate vacate the building in the ritzy Brickell neighborhood was filed Feb. 15 in a Miami-Dade county court. The landlord, a developer behind Miami's tallest high-rise, the still being built Panorama Tower, said Venezuela owes $142,119 in unpaid rent.
The potential eviction is a major reversal for Venezuela's government, which owned the building until 2005, when it sold it for $70 million.
"The fact Venezuela can't come up with such a small amount of cash tells you what dire straits they're in," said Russ Dallen, a Miami-based investor specializing in Venezuelan bonds who discovered the eviction notice on Thursday.

[FreeBeacon] China earlier this month conducted the latest flight test of one of its newest and deadliest strategic missiles‐the DN-3 anti-satellite interceptor.
The test, as in the past, was masked by the Chinese military as a missile defense interceptor test. American defense officials, however, said the DN-3 is one of several direct ascent anti-satellite missiles capable of destroying most U.S. satellites.
A more significant development was disclosed eight days later through intelligence made public during a Senate hearing: China is moving beyond the testing and development of space weapons and will soon deploy military units dedicated to attacking satellites and conducting space warfare.

[Al Jazeera] The US has imposed its "heaviest ever" sanctions against North Korea, President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... says, as the US seeks to prevent North Korea from further developing its nuclear programme.
The measures - aimed at disrupting North Korean shipping companies and vessels - will heighten pressure on North Korean leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... , a US treasury department statement, said on Friday.
"This will significantly hinder the Kim regime's capacity to conduct evasive maritime activities that facilitate illicit coal and fuel transports, and erode its abilities to ship goods through international waters," Steven Mnuchin, treasury secretary, said.
"The president has made it clear to companies worldwide that if they choose to help fund North Korea's nuclear ambitions, they will not do business with the United States."
The new sanctions target almost all shipping currently being used by North Korea, Mnuchin said.
The measures prohibit US citizens from dealing with more than 50 vessels and companies, and one person, located in countries including North Korea, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Assets held by the firms within the US will also be blocked.
Trump described the measures as the "heaviest sanctions ever imposed on a country before" in an address in Washington on Friday.
He cautioned the US will "have to go to phase two" if the sanctions don't have Washington's desired impact, adding that "may be a very rough thing ... very unfortunate for the world", Rooters news agency reported.

[Free Beacon] President Donald Trump announced on Friday while speaking at a joint press conference next to Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that a new U.S. Navy ship will be named "Canberra."
Three Australian Navy ships have been named Canberra, Australia's capital city, in the country's history. The U.S. vessel will specifically be named in memory of the heavy cruiser HMAS Canberra, a ship that sunk during the Battle of Savo Island in World War II. Not long after the sinking, President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered an American cruiser, the USS Pittsburgh, be renamed the the USS Canberra (CA-70/CAG-2) in memory of the HMAS Canberra. The first USS Canberra was decommissioned in 1970.
Trump said in his announcement at the White House that the new Canberra will be Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) 30, and the ship's sponsor will be Australian Minister of Defence Marise Payne.
"I know that the USS Canberra will be a worthy successor to her Australian namesake and her American predecessor, the former Navy Baltimore-class cruiser the USS Canberra," Trump said. "As she sails the open sea, the new USS Canberra will symbolize to all who cross her path the enduring friendship between the United States and Australia. There is no closer friendship."
Turnbull thanked Trump for the honor of having an American vessel named Canberra. Turnbull also noted LCS-30 will be built by Australian company Austal at its shipyard in Mobile, Alabama where American workers are employed.

Trump said in his announcement at the White House that the new Canberra will be Littoral Combat Ship .
Cost overruns, underwhelming demonstrations, and debilitating mechanical failures, lets call it Canberra. God I love Trump's sense of humour. And Turnbull thinks he is back in the good books after his last inept stunt.
My best guess short summary: This Spanish sat working with the 2 German sats can do high-resolution trinocular 3D radar imaging. Since they are in the same orbit but not in the same position at the same time this would not be 3D for transient or moving objects but for static or fixed objects. The period for the 3 of them to image the same spot is 11 days so that's the transient vs fixed time delta. Or same place for 11 days (worst case if one sat is right next to the other) = 3D high res image. The phrasing of the "calibration" statement suggests the 3D scientist involved or some of his previous students. If he is involved it is correct accurate and well designed. Trinocular is much more accurate then the binocular imaging that the existing pair of sats are likely engaged in. In addition trinocular imaging requires much less computational resources than binocular and ambiguity tends toward zero for the visible surface. If one wanted full minimal ambiguity in all directions it would require the target object to be in space with a tetrahedral arrangement of imagers so this is a minimal resource, optimum solution, for a 3D image of the surface of the earth (shell).

A U.S. Navy EA-18G Growler recently made it back to base after suffering a terrifying mid-air mishap, which left its two-person crew flying blind and frostbitten after the aircraft’s environment control system failed in part thanks to a pair of high-tech wrist watches. The incident occurred just over a year after the canopy on another one of the electronic warfare planes exploded in a bizarre over-pressurization incident and as the service continues to struggle to find exactly what’s causing persistent reports of "hypoxia-like" symptoms across the F/A-18 Hornet, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, and Growler fleets.
Defense News was first to report this new incident, which occurred approximately 60 miles south of Seattle, Washington. The EA-18G, assigned to Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Nine (VX-9), was flying at approximately 25,000 feet on a mission from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, between Seattle and Vancouver BC, when the cockpit temperature plummeted to -30 degrees Fahrenheit.
The broken environmental control system (ECS) also let in a fine mist of liquid, which then froze, coating the inside of the canopy and vital flight instruments in an opaque sheen of ice. The ECS consists of a number of sub-components that are supposed to work together to manage oxygen flow to the crew, as well as cockpit pressure and temperature.
Despite using up all of their emergency oxygen supply, the crew was able to wend its way its way back to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island with help from air traffic controllers on the ground and their smart watches. In July 2017, Navy Hornet, Super Hornet, and Growler pilots each got a $450 Garmin Fenix 3 wristwatch $345.00 at WalMart.
, which can measure air pressure and altitude and display an individual’s course heading.
The service issued the watches in order to provide a backup alert mechanism in case the ECS' on-board oxygen generation system, or OBOGS, malfunctioned and cockpit pressure dropped to unsafe levels and the aircraft's built-in safety mechanisms and warning systems also failed. The Navy had not publicly stated that it could serve as a improvised navigational aid in an emergency. Continues.

Good to see that the Navy hasn't fixed the oxgen rigs in the planes yet. That means it doesn't matter of the Ford can't launch them safely, because you couldn't fly it anyway. Problem solved.
I do, however have to wonder what language the editor of the article speaks, what with a phrase like "environment control system failed in part thanks to a pair of high-tech wrist watches". Did you even read that line?

[Al Jazeera] One of the two suspects in the murder of a Filipina maid in Kuwait has been placed in durance vile Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! and detained in Leb, according to the Philippine department of foreign affairs.
Nader Essam Assaf, a Lebanese national, was arrested in his home country for the death of Joanna Demafelis, Alan Cayetano, the Philippine foreign affairs secretary, said in a statement on Friday.
Cayetano said President Rodrigo Duterte "welcomes the news" of the arrest and expects Kuwaiti authorities to request the extradition of Assaf to stand trial in Kuwait.
"Assaf’s arrest is a critical first step in our quest for justice for Joanna, and we are thankful to our friends in Kuwait and Leb for their assistance."
A second suspect remains unaccounted for.
Demafelis had gone missing in September 2016, and her body was found in a freezer in an abandoned apartment in Kuwait earlier this month.
She left for Kuwait in 2014 hoping to earn enough to support her family.
The statement said a senior Kuwaiti security official informed the Philippine ambassador to Kuwait of the arrest.
Earlier, Mousaed Al Thwaikh, Kuwait's ambassador to the Philippines, assured the Philippine government that his country would do everything it can to find the suspects.
Assaf and his wife, Mona, a Syrian national, are accused of torturing and killing 29-year-old Demafelis.
Mona remains wanted and is believed to be in Syria.
They reportedly left Kuwait following Demafelis' death.
