| U.S. measles outbreak hits 'completely avoidable' 25-year-high: officials Posted: 29 Apr 2019 10:11 AM PDT  The number of measles cases in the United States has reached a 25-year peak, propelled by the spread of misinformation about the vaccine that can prevent the disease, federal health officials said on Monday. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 704 cases as of April 26, a 1.3 percent increase since the most recent tally of 695 reported on Wednesday. The vast majority of cases have occurred in children who have not received the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, which confers immunity to the disease, officials said.

| Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Islamic State group's elusive leader Posted: 29 Apr 2019 12:26 PM PDT  Islamic State group chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who purportedly appeared for the first time in five years in an IS propaganda video released Monday, remains the world's most wanted man, despite the jihadists' "caliphate" imploding weeks ago. After declaring himself caliph in 2014, Baghdadi held sway over seven million people across swathes of Syria and Iraq, where IS implemented its brutal version of Islamic law. It is unclear when the footage was filmed, but the man said to be Baghdadi referred to last week's deadly attack in Sri Lanka and to the months-long fight for IS's final bastion Baghouz, which ended in late March.

| Venezuela's Guaido urges troops to rise against Maduro, violence breaks out Posted: 30 Apr 2019 09:43 AM PDT  Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido on Tuesday called for a military uprising to oust President Nicolas Maduro and violence broke out at anti-government protests as the country hit a new crisis point after years of political and economic chaos. Several dozen armed troops accompanying Guaido clashed with soldiers supporting Maduro at a rally outside the La Carlota air base in Caracas, but the incident fizzled out and did not appear to be part of an immediate attempt by the opposition to take power through military force. Guaido, in a video posted on Twitter earlier on Tuesday, wrote that he had begun the "final phase" of his campaign to topple Maduro, calling on Venezuelans and the armed forces to back him ahead of May Day mass street protests planned for Wednesday.

| This Isn't a Secret: F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighters Aren't Exactly Invisible Posted: 28 Apr 2019 05:00 PM PDT  Is this really a problem? State-run Chinese media is claiming that the People's Liberation Army has been able to track the U.S. Air Force's Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor stealth fighters over the East China Sea. While the Chinese report might be easily dismissed as propaganda—it is not beyond the realm of possibility. In fact—it's very possible that China can track the Raptor. Stealth is not a cloak of invisibility, after all. Stealth technology simply delays detection and tracking.(This first appeared in 2016.)First off, if a Raptor is carrying external fuel tanks—as it often does during "ferry missions"—it is not in a stealth configuration. Moreover, the aircraft is often fitted with a Luneburg lens device on its ventral side during peacetime operations that enhances its cross section on radar.That being said, even combat-configured F-22s are not invisible to enemy radar, contrary to popular belief. Neither is any other tactical fighter-sized stealth aircraft with empennage surfaces such as tailfins—the F-35, PAK-FA, J-20 or J-31. That's just basic physics.

| Fox’s Judge Napolitano Fires Back After Trump Publicly Bashes Him: Is This How You Treat a Friend? Posted: 29 Apr 2019 08:31 AM PDT  Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano responded to President Trump's weekend Twitter attacks on Monday morning, denying that he asked the president for a Supreme Court spot while joking about the way Trump treats his long-time friends.On Saturday night, the president took to Twitter to fire shots at Napolitano, who recently has said Trump is guilty of committing obstruction of justice and that the president's behavior was "deceptive and repellent.""Thank you to brilliant and highly respected attorney Alan Dershowitz for destroying the very dumb legal argument of 'Judge' Andrew Napolitano," Trump wrote, referencing Dershowitz's Friday night appearance on Fox News' The Ingraham Angle."Ever since Andrew came to my office to ask that I appoint him to the U.S. Supreme Court, and I said NO, he has been very hostile! Also asked for pardon for his friend. A good 'pal' of low ratings Shepard Smith," he concluded, taking an additional shot at Fox News anchor Shep Smith.Appearing on Fox Business Network's Mornings with Maria Bartiromo, Napolitano humorously noted that if "this is the way you treat your friends, how do you treat your enemies?," prompting host Maria Bartiromo to ask whether Napolitano pushed for a Supreme Court position or a pardon for a friend.Napolitano explained that he met with then-President-Elect Trump to discuss possible replacements for Antonin Scalia's spot on the bench. While the judge claimed he was describing Neil Gorsuch during their conversations, Trump felt he was talking about himself and eventually asked him "why I should put you on" the Supreme Court."I gave him the spiel, someone else in the room said 'That's interesting, the judge is long in the tooth,' to which the president said blank you to the person who said the judge is long in the tooth," the Fox News analyst stated. "'I'm four years older than the judge and I'm about to become president.' It was that kind of conversation."In March 2017, Politico reported that Napolitano had told friends he was on Trump's Supreme Court shortlist, noting at the time that he met with Trump twice during the transition.As far as the pardon situation, Napolitano said they talked about a "mutual friend" of theirs and Trump was the one who asked him about the person's conviction and whether it was just. According to the judge, Trump disagreed with the conviction and told him to call the person up and let him know he was going to be on the list of pardons he'd consider.Napolitano concluded by calling the president's broadside against him "brilliant" because Trump wanted to draw attention away from the Mueller report's findings and Napolitano's commentary about them. "His relationship with me is not the story," he added. "We've been friends for 30 years and probably will be for the next 30 years."Since the president's tweets on Saturday night, Fox News itself has remained mum about Trump's criticisms and allegations against its senior analyst. MediaBuzz, the network's Sunday morning media analysis show, did not address it at all and the network has not provided comment on it.Read more at The Daily Beast.

| Boeing wins confidence of shareholders, prepares for key 737 MAX test flight Posted: 29 Apr 2019 05:09 PM PDT  Boeing executives successfully beat back shareholder challenges to their authority on Monday as the company signaled it expects regulators to take a key step next week in the effort to get the 737 MAX back in the air following two deadly crashes.

Boeing expects the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct a test flight by the end of next week of the software fix the company developed for the flight system on the 737 MAX, a company spokesman said Monday.

| Violent clashes in Venezuela after opposition leader Juan Guaido calls for military uprising Posted: 30 Apr 2019 09:31 AM PDT  Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido called for a military uprising on Tuesday, appearing alongside armed soldiers and declaring the "final phase" of removing president Nicolas Maduro was underway. In a three-minute video posted on social media, Mr Guaido praised the "brave soldiers" and "patriots" who had abandoned the government to join his cause and urged others to do likewise. Leopoldo Lopez, a fellow opposition politician, also appeared in the video despite being held under house arrest since 2017. He claimed forces loyal to Mr Guaido had released him. Mr Maduro's government labelled the drive a "coup" attempt, a description echoed by supportive politicians abroad, and vowed to crack down on the "military traitors". However senior US administration figures gave their vocal backing, with vice president Mike Pence, secretary of state Mike Pompeo and national security adviser John Bolton all issuing supportive statements. En el marco de nuestra constitución. Y por el cese definitivo de la usurpación. https://t.co/3RD2bnQhxt— Juan Guaidó (@jguaido) April 30, 2019 Hundreds of supporters gathered near the Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda Air Base, the military airport in Caracas where Mr Guaido's video appeared to have been shot, after it was posted online. Violent clashes followed with reports of around 70 soldiers wearing blue armbands in support for Mr Guaido squaring off against security forces loyal to the regime. Footage showed tear gas being fired into the crowds and, at one point, a military vehicle ramming into a group of protesters as the scene turned ugly. Yet in the immediate hours after the call for an uprising there were few public signs that Venezuela's military leaders had abandoned their support for Maduro. The move was the boldest attempt yet by Mr Guaido, who cited conditional powers to declare himself interim president in January, to force Mr Maduro from power.

But others, including Russia, are backing Mr Maduro. In the video, Mr Guaido, 35, spoke directly to camera as more than a dozen soldiers dressed in military uniform, some holding guns, stood to attention behind him. "Today, brave soldiers, brave patriots, brave men loyal to the Constitution have followed our call," said Mr Guaido, who is also president of the country's National Assembly. He called on people to take to the streets all over Venezuela and claimed that "the definitive end of the usurpation starts today". He added: "Today as the caretaker president of Venezuela, as the legitimate commander-in-chief of the armed forces, I call on all soldiers, the military family, to accompany us in this mission." Support for Venezuela leadership Mr Lopez, seen as Mr Guaido's political mentor, stood behind him and watched on. He later said he had been released from house arrest by security forces adhering to an order from Mr Guaido. "I want to tell the Venezuelan people: This is the moment to take to the streets and accompany these patriotic soldiers," Mr Lopez said. Soon after the video, which appeared to have been filmed in the early morning, was posted online the move was condemned by Mr Maduro's ministers. Vladimir Padrino, the Venezuelan defence minister, said: "We reject this coup movement, which aims to fill the country with violence." He insisted the country's forces remained loyal to Mr Maduro. Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido posted a video of himself near the Generalisimo Francisco de Miranda Airbase in Caracas Credit: REUTERS/Carlos Garcia Rawlins Jorge Rodriguez, the country's information minister, wrote on Twitter that the "military traitors" who were seeking to promote a "coup" were being confronted. A Kremlin spokesman and the Bolivan president Evo Morales, key allies of Mr Maduro, called the uprising a "coup" attempt. Cuba's foreign minister also denounced the move. But Donald Trump's administration issued statements of support. Mr Pence tweeted to Mr Guaido and his supporters: "We are with you! America will stand with you until freedom and democracy are restored." Sprain, instrumental in shaping the European Union's stance on Venezuela, was more cautious, with a government spokesman calling for a "peaceful democratic process" rather than "bloodshed". It was unclear whether Mr Guaido's message had resonated with the military leaders whose support is critical in keeping Mr Maduro in power despite a crumbling economy and electricity blackouts. A soldier in the group with Mr Guaido denied government claims they had been tricked into acting, telling Reuters: "We're all afraid, but we had to do it." Another protest called for by Mr Guaido and his supporters is due to take place on Wednesday.

| Battle of Winterfell: Why the Living Were Slaughtered (4 Ways It Could Have Been Avoided) Posted: 30 Apr 2019 04:01 AM PDT  The Game of Thrones episode "The Long Night" features the last stand of a fantastical medieval army against an implacable horde of White Walker zombies led by the chilling undead Night King.It also showcases a series of terrible command decisions made by its protagonists, Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen, squandering their forces lives in poorly thought-out gambits.These episodes of military ineptitude may be one of the TV show's most believable attributes, reflecting real-world military disasters. As such, a battle featuring a zombie horde and fire-breathing dragons offer surprising insight into classic errors in battlefield command.Failing to Act Cohesively Against the Enemy's Center of GravityCarl von Clausewitz, the grandfather of modern Western military theory, wrote in On War that it was vital to identify and strike at the enemy's "center of gravity"—that is, "the hub of all power and movement, on which everything depends."That 'center of gravity' varies based on the nature of the adversary—it could be an enemy capital, a charismatic leader, or a strategically-deployed army.

| Muslim US army veteran's plot to bomb white supremacist rally 'thwarted at last moment' Posted: 29 Apr 2019 10:20 PM PDT  An alleged terror plot by a Muslim army veteran to bomb a white supremacist rally has been thwarted, according to authorities.Mark Domingo, 26, an infantryman who served a combat stint in Afghanistan, was arrested by federal agents while allegedly putting the final touches to a plan to plant a bomb at a Nazi rally in Long Beach, prosecutors have said.Mr Domingo was arrested last Friday on a charge of providing material support to terrorists and a criminal complaint said he had been planning since March to "manufacture and use a weapon of mass destruction in order to commit mass murder".Court papers claim Mr Domingo discussed with an informant different types of attacks that included targeting Jews, churches and police officers.Mr Domingo allegedly said he wanted revenge for attacks on mosques in New Zealand that killed 50 people last month.He allegedly bought parts, including nails, for an improvised explosive device that would be remotely triggered, but in fact contained inert materials, FBI agent Tasha Coolidge said in an affidavit filed in US District Court in Los Angeles.If they survived the planned bombing at Bluff Park, Mr Domingo discussed launching further attacks on the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles or on a train, the papers said.White nationalists never showed up to the planned event in Bluff Park, but a large group of counter protesters demonstrated.A message left on a phone listed for Mr Domingo was not immediately returned.With Associated Press

In a conference call with analysts on Monday, the company's management talked about making hundreds of product changes every quarter, but refused to give examples of changes, making analysts suspicious that the company may be hiding a trend that points to more dramatic damage to future growth.
