Pressure cooker bombs suspected in Boston blast!!

BOSTON (AP) — Federal agents zeroed in Tuesday on how theBoston Marathon bombing was carried out — with kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and other lethal shrapnel — but said they still didn't know who did it and why.

An intelligence bulletin issued to law enforcement and released late Tuesday included a picture of a mangled pressure cooker and a torn black bag the FBI said were part of a bomb.

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies repeatedly pleaded for members of the public to come forward with photos, videos or anything suspicious they might have seen or heard.

"The range of suspects and motives remains wide open," Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston, said at a news conference. He vowed to "go to the ends of the Earth to identify the subject or subjects who are responsible for this despicable crime."

President Barack Obama branded the attack an act of terrorism but said officials don't know "whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of a malevolent individual."

Scores of victims remained in hospitals, many with grievous injuries, a day after the twin explosions near the marathon's finish line killed three people, wounded more than 170 and reawakened fears of terrorism. A 9-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy were among 17 victims listed in critical condition.

Heightening jitters in Washington, where security already had been tightened after the bombing, a letter addressed to a senator and poisoned with ricin or a similarly toxic substance was intercepted at a mail facility outside the capital, lawmakers said.

There was no immediate indication the episode was related to the Boston attack. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the letter was sent to Republican Sen. Roger Wicker, of Mississippi.

Officials found that the bombs in Boston consisted of explosives put in ordinary 1.6-gallon pressure cookers, one with shards of metal and ball bearings, the other with nails, according to a person close to the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe was still going on. The bombs were stuffed into black duffel bags and left on the ground, the person said.

DesLauriers confirmed that investigators had found pieces of black nylon from a bag or backpack and fragments of BBs and nails, possibly contained in a pressure cooker. He said the items were sent to the FBI laboratory at Quantico, Va., for analysis.

The FBI said it is looking at what Boston television station WHDH said are photos sent by a viewer that show the scene right before and after the bombs went off. The photo shows something next to a mailbox that appears to be a bag, but it's unclear what the significance is.

"We're taking a look at hundreds of photos, and that's one of them," FBI spokesman Jason Pack said.

Investigators said they haven't determined what was used to set off the explosives.

Pressure cooker explosives have been used in international terrorism and have been recommended for lone-wolf operatives by al-Qaida's branch in Yemen.

But information on how to make the bombs is readily found online, and U.S. officials said Americans should not rush to judgment in linking the attack to overseas terrorists.

DesLauriers said there had been no claim of responsibility for the attack.

He urged people to come forward with anything suspicious, such as hearing someone express an interest in explosives or a desire to attack the marathon, seeing someone carrying a dark heavy bag at the race or hearing mysterious explosions recently.

"Someone knows who did this," the FBI agent said.

The bombs exploded 10 or more seconds apart, tearing off victims' limbs and spattering streets with blood, instantly turning the festive race into a hellish scene of confusion, horror and heroics.

The blasts killed 8-year-old Martin Richard, of Boston, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, of Medford, and a third victim, identified only as a graduate student at Boston University.

Doctors who treated the wounded corroborated reports that the bombs were packed with shrapnel intended to cause mayhem.

"We've removed BBs, and we've removed nails from kids. One of the sickest things for me was just to see nails sticking out of a little girl's body," said Dr. David Mooney, director of the trauma center at Boston Children's Hospital.

At Massachusetts General Hospital, all four amputations performed there were above the knee, with no hope of saving more of the legs, said Dr. George Velmahos, chief of trauma surgery.

"It wasn't a hard decision to make," he said. "We just completed the ugly job that the bomb did."

Obama plans to visit Boston on Thursday to attend an interfaith service in honor of the victims. He has traveled four times to cities reeling from mass violence, most recently in December after the schoolhouse shooting in Newtown, Conn.

In the wake of the attack, security was stepped up around the White House and across the country. Police massed at federal buildings and transit centers in the nation's capital, critical response teams deployed in New York City and security officers with bomb-sniffing dogs spread through Chicago's Union Station.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said that the stepped-up security was a precaution and that there was no evidence the bombings were part of a wider plot.

Pressure cooker explosives have been used in Afghanistan, India, Nepal and Pakistan, according to a July 2010 intelligence report by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. One of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square attempted bombing was a pressure cooker, the report said.

"Placed carefully, such devices provide little or no indication of an impending attack," the report said.

The Pakistani Taliban, which claimed responsibility for the 2010 attempt in Times Square, has denied any part in the Boston Marathon attack.

Al-Qaida's branch in Yemen gave a detailed description of how to make a bomb using a pressure cooker in a 2010 issue of Inspire, its English-language online publication aimed at would-be terrorists acting alone.

In a chapter titled "Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom," it says "the pressurized cooker is the most effective method" for making a simple bomb, and it provides directions.

The tightly sealed pot makes easier-to-obtain but weaker explosives faster and stronger, amplifying the blast and the carnage.

Naser Jason Abdo, a former U.S. soldier, was sentenced to life in prison last year after being convicted of planning to use a pair of bombs made from pressure cookers in an attack on a Texas restaurant frequented by soldiers from Fort Hood. He was found with the Inspire article.

Investigators in the Boston bombing also are combing surveillance tapes from businesses around the finish line and asking travelers at Logan Airport to share any photos or video that might help.

"This is probably one of the most photographed areas in the country yesterday," said Boston police Commissioner Edward Davis. He said two security sweeps of the marathon route had been conducted before the bombing.

Boston police and firefighter unions announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to arrests.

More than half of Cuba's population   lives in  poverty. 

 Most workers earn $10 to $13 per month in pay from the government. Some work on the side or sell goods in local markets, earning an extra $10 per month or so.Most of the people who dont work and work on the side make more than doctors.

Electricity goes away from time to time leaving the citizens in the dark.

Apple tries for a patent on removable laptop touchscreens.

OK guys so Apple is trying to get a patent that allows for the touch screen display of a laptop to be taken off the device and charged wirelessly trough the hinge or trough atleast some form of wireless charging. Now its a great idea , but what will be interesting is when they get it . Now other companies have already come up with something like this , let me show you what i mean . So what do I tell those companies that have come up with tablet/laptop hybrids , be careful because we know Apple takes their design very serious , and they will sue if they think it looks like their design.

HP-Envy x2 

The notebook that doubles as a tablet. The new HP ENVY x2 PC gives you the power of two devices in one. A Windows 8 laptop with a bright, vivid HD Touch display.[1,2] And a tablet that slides off for those times when you want to carry even less.

ThinkPad Helix

ThinkPad Helix, which is everything you might want in a Windows 8 convertible. The 11.6" full HD display can be used alone as a touchscreen tablet or docked into the keyboard in either normal laptop mode or facing outwards for presentation or movie watching. This business-class laptop has a thin and light Ultrabook form, with up to 10 hours of battery life (the keyboard dock adds extra battery life to the tablet's 5 hours). It also can be outfitted with powerful specs: up to an Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. And it has a Wacom digitizer for pen support. The only thing is this premium laptop-tablet hybrid comes with a premium starting price of $1,499. Expected to start shipping in February.

 Asus VivoTab RT

One of the smallest Windows laptops is the Asus VivoTab RT, a 10-inch tablet with hardware keyboard dock. As the name suggests, the Vivo Tab RT runs Windows RT, not the full Windows 8 operating system (you can learn more about the differences here, but basically the RT version will only allow you to install additional apps from the Windows 8 Store). The VivoTab RT is attractively priced (about $600 with the keyboard dock included) and comes with 32GB of storage and 2GB of memory, plus a screen resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels. One of the most compelling features of the Vivo Tab is its support for Wacom digitizer stylus for better writing experience. A larger Vivo version with a 11.6-inch screen, full HD IPS display, and full Windows 8 is also coming up (and probably worth waiting for).

11.6-inch Samsung ATIV Smart PC

Another tablet with a hardware keyboard dock, this one is from Samsung. The 11.6-inch Samsung ATIV Smart PC runs Windows 8--the full version--off of an Intel Atom processor and comes with 64GB SSD storage. (A pro 700T version is also available running Intel Core i5 processor and with higher-end specs such as a 1920 by 1080 pixel display.) The touchscreen can be popped on or off the keyboard dock; it has a standard 1366 by 768 resolution. One of the nicest features of this tablet-laptop hybrid is it comes with a digitizer pen (stylus), similar to the ones Samsung is including in its popular Note smartphones, so it should be great for writing on the tablet. Available for pre-order now starting at $650.

Samsung Series 7 Slate PC

The Samsung Series 7 Slate PC has been offered previously running Windows 7. A Windows 8 version of this dockable tablet is also in the works, with an updated Core i5 processor and new pressure-sensitive Samsung S-Pen (which offers 1,024 levels of sensitivity). Like the previous models, the Series 7 Slate's 11.6-inch screen docks into a silver keyboard dock. A Series 5 version will also be available starting for about $450 less and running an Intel Atom processor. The Series 7 Slate has the better specs, however, with a full HD display, 4GB of memory, and 128GB SSD. It weighs just 1.9 pounds and is half an inch thick. These aren't available yet as of this writing, but I'm keeping an eye out for it. Prices are expected to be around $1,199.

Transformer Book

http://www.asus.com/vivo/en/transformerBook.htm

Asus took the concept of its popular Android tablet Transformer and brought it over to Windows 8. The Transformer Book features a 13-inch full HD IPS multitouch display, Core i5 or i7 processors, and a 128GB SSD. When docked, you gain access to more storage space (500GB HDD), ports, and additional battery life, making this Windows 8 tablet with dockable keyboard a killer combination. An 11.6-inch version will also be available. Pricing TBD.

Pluto's Gate or how some call it Gate's To Hell!!

Scientists have discovered what is known as the ruins of Pluto’s Gate.  Its like from a horror movie , it has poisonous vapors and all , Francesco D'Andria was researching for years on where was this gate , and how to find it , and he finally did it . He was excavating the ancient Greco-Roman World Heritage Site of Hierapolis for years and found it.D’Andria told Discovery News he used ancient mythology as his guide to locate the legendary portal to the underworld. “We found the Plutonium by reconstructing the route of a thermal spring. Indeed, Pamukkale' springs, which produce the famous white travertine terraces originate from this cave.” Now to my surprise this isn't the first gate to hell that has been found in the Karkum Desert there is one , when they were digging they came across a natural gas cavern and to get rid of the gas they set it on fire , and it has been lit for the past 40 years. Here is a video of it .

US sends gifts to South Korea!! Check it ou!!

South Korea vows fast response to North Korea if any attack are done, and USA sends a gift !!!

South Korea will strike back quickly if the North stages any attack, the new president in Seoul warned on Monday, as tensions ratcheted higher on the Korean peninsula amid shrill rhetoric from Pyongyang and the U.S. deployment of radar-evading fighter planes.

North Korea says the region is on the brink of a nuclear war in the wake of United Nations sanctions imposed for its February nuclear test and a series of joint U.S. and South Korean military drills that have included a rare U.S. show of aerial power.

 

The North, whose economy is smaller than it was 20 years ago, appeared to move on Monday to addressing its pressing need for investment by appointing a reformer to the country's ceremonial prime minister's job, although the move mostly cemented a power grab by the ruling Kim clan.
North Korea had said on Saturday it was entering a "state of war" with South Korea in response to what it termed the "hostile" military drills being staged in the South. But there have been no signs of unusual activity in the North's military to suggest an imminent aggression, a South Korean defense ministry official said last week.
"If there is any provocation against South Korea and its people, there should be a strong response in initial combat without any political considerations," President Park Geun-hye told the defense minister and senior officials at a meeting on Monday.
The South has changed its rules of engagement to allow local units to respond immediately to attacks, rather than waiting for permission from Seoul.
Stung by criticism that its response to the shelling of a South Korean island in 2010 was tardy and weak, Seoul has also threatened to target North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and to destroy statues of the ruling Kim dynasty in the event of any new attack, a plan that has outraged Pyongyang.
Seoul and its ally the United States played down Saturday's statement from the official KCNA news agency as the latest in a stream of tough talk from Pyongyang.
North Korea stepped up its rhetoric in early March, when U.S. and South Korean forces began annual military drills that involved the flights of U.S. B-2 stealth bombers in a practice run, prompting the North to puts its missile units on standby to fire at U.S. military bases in the South and in the Pacific.
The United States also deployed F-22 stealth fighter jets on Sunday to take part in the drills. The F-22s were deployed in South Korea before, in 2010.
On its part, North Korea has cancelled an armistice agreement with the United States that ended the Korean War and cut all hotlines with U.S. forces, the United Nations and South Korea.
NUCLEAR WEAPONS "NOT A BARGAINING CHIP"
Park's intervention came on the heels of a meeting of the North's ruling Workers Party Central Committee where leader Kim Jong-un rejected the notion that Pyongyang was going to use its nuclear arms development as a bargaining chip.
"The nuclear weapons of Songun Korea are not goods for getting U.S. dollars and they are ... (not) to be put on the table of negotiations aimed at forcing the (North) to disarm itself," KCNA news agency quoted him as saying.
At the meeting, Kim appointed a handful of personal confidants to the party's politburo, further consolidating his grip on power in the second full year of his reign.
The most surprising appointment came on Monday as former prime minister Pak Pong-ju was re-appointed as premier, although the move likely signaled another power struggle in Pyongang staged by the country's leader Kim Jong-un.
Pak is viewed as a key ally of Jang Song-thaek, the young Kim's uncle and also a protege of Kim's aunt and is viewed as a pawn in a power game that has seen Jang and his wife re-assert power over military leaders.
Analysts said the move would not likely change Pyongyang's approach to a confrontation that appears to have dragged the two Koreas closer to war.
Pyongyang's on-off negotiations saw it take part in nuclear disarmament talks for five years aimed at paying it off in return for abandoning its atomic weapons program. Those talks fell apart in 2008. Some experts say the talks gave the North grounds to pursue a highly enriched uranium program that took it closer to owning a working arsenal.
Songun is the Korean word for the "Military First" policy preached by Kim's father who used it to justify the use of the impoverished state's scare resources to build a 1.2-million strong army and a weapons of mass destruction program.
CALLS FOR RESTRAINT
White House National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said North Korea's announcement that it was in a state of war followed a "familiar pattern" of rhetoric.
China has repeatedly called for restraint on the peninsula.
However, many in South Korea have regarded the North's willingness to keep open the Kaesong industrial zone, located just a few miles (km) north of the heavily-militarized border and operated jointly by both sides, as a sign that Pyongyang will not risk losing a lucrative source of foreign currency.
Closure could also trap hundreds of South Korean workers and managers of the more than 100 firms that have factories there.
