Alex Lockie, provided by Published 9:44 am, Tuesday, January 16, 2018 DoD photo The US has stepped up its bomber presence in Guam to include the nuclear-capable B-2 and B-52 bombers. The deployment comes as part of a mission to keep bombers in Guam constantly, but it's still rare to see all three US strategic bombers in Guam at once. North Korea has specifically threatened the bomber fleet in Guam, and the recent deployment marks the clearest possible signal ling between Washington and Pyongyang.

Lightning in US is killing fewer people than ever
Like most nonfatal lightning strikes, the one outside the Aventura Mall in Florida was not a direct hit. The bolt of electricity struck the victim’s umbrella, entered through his hand and left through his foot. “The gentleman holding the umbrella sustained significant electrical injuries, but his outcome was very good,” said Dr. Randy Katz, medical director of emergency services at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, who has treated about half a dozen lightning victims. “It’s very uncommon to see an entrance and an exit. In this case he actually had an exit through his shoe, so his shoe was torn open at the bottom.” Quick action by medical personnel prevented the victim from dying of cardiac arrest before he reached the hospital, Katz said. Such improved medical care, and more awareness of the dangers of lightning, has contributed to a record low number of U.S. lightning deaths in 2017. Lightning killed 16 people in the nation last year, … [Read more...] about Lightning in US is killing fewer people than ever

Alan Pergament: It’s so easy for families to relate to ‘This Is Us’
After the end of last week's episode of "This Is Us" that featured a raw, painful therapy session with the three siblings and their mother, my sister called me. She had an observation and a simple question about herself, our older brother and me. She loves the show about the Pearson family, but added she had never related to it more than in that episode. The simple family question – which was derived from watching the episode and thinking about several others concerning the death of the Pearson patriarch at an early age – followed: "Do you think our mother's death affected the three of us?" I'll get to the answer later. But I think a lot of families were asking similar questions about family dynamics after watching the gut-wrenching, emotional episode. My girlfriend said she and a co-worker had a similar conversation about how easy it was to relate to the episode. I bet some viewers might even have said, "I wish our family could have had a therapy session like that to get … [Read more...] about Alan Pergament: It’s so easy for families to relate to ‘This Is Us’
Top North Korea expert makes the case for the US bombing Kim Jong Un’s personal toilet
Alex Lockie, provided by Published 3:06 am, Tuesday, January 16, 2018 KCNA/Reuters Jeffrey Lewis, a top expert on North Korea, wrote a column suggesting the US should bomb Kim Jong Un's personal toilet to put the fear in him. Lewis's suggestion, while funny, shows the kind of thinking needed to properly calibrate a "bloody nose" strike, which the US is reportedly considering. Lewis and others found Kim has a personal port-a-potty brought with him to missile launches, and the US could demonstrate its precision and skill by striking it. Writing at The Daily Beast, Lewis was responding to increased chatter of a US strike on North Korea when he suggested the attack, but nonetheless, it illustrates the dangers of and motivations behind using military force to send a message.
