The Obama administration acknowledged today that it erred by failing to send a higher-profile representative of the United States to the Paris unity march on Sunday.

To be fair, wasn’t it just about 11 years ago when Americans were renaming french fries “freedom fries”? We even accuse John Kerry of being French! I guess that scared him so much now he won’t even go to the country when he should..

Five small earthquakes were recorded within a 5 1/2-hour span in eastern Connecticut on Monday, including a 3.1-magnitude quake that was felt in parts of Rhode Island and Massachusetts

The Twitter account published a list of generals and addresses associated with them, titled "Army General Officer Public Roster (by rank) 2 January 2014// Subsequent posts read, "Pentagon Networks Hacked! China Scenarios" and "Pentagon Networks Hacked. Korean Scenarios."

This is how REUTERS is reporting the news of the day:

We can confirm that the CENTCOM Twitter and YouTube accounts were compromised earlier today. We are taking appropriate measures to address the matter,” Central Command said in a statement.

President Barack Obama is preparing to outline new proposals to protect the United States from cybersecurity threats.

After the hacking, the heading of the Central Command Twitter account showed a figure in a black-and-white headscarf and the words “CyberCaliphate” and “I love you ISIS,” using an acronym for the Islamic State group.

Central Command’s YouTube account featured videos posted by the U.S. military of air strikes on Islamic State targets in Syria and Iraq. It apparently was hacked to add two videos titled “Flames of War ISIS Video” and “O Soldiers of Truth Go Forth.”

Along with it, a threatening message was left on the CENTCOM Twitter page:

And there was one irony that occurred with this event.. while the hacking news was being shared with the world, the President was in the midst of a briefing on cyber-security..

Victims of the Church care home Dr Mengele: For Teresa and her children, the damage of drug experiments inflicted on girls in Church of England care homes 20 years ago can never be undone

This could be a must read-but at your own risk. It may challenge your foundational view of religious authority and also question why men and women of God—so they say—are so often seemingly more from the raw pits of hell than anywhere else..
So many examples can be cited in this article that would give someone chills of they fully contemplate them..

Feel Free to Breastfeed Here, Pope Tells Mothers in Sistine Chapel

Holy milk, Francis!
This is a big deal. The act of breast feeding or the allowance of it may have gotten someone killed in old times! If this was 1500, we’d be putting the pope on that special chair to see if anything was dangling below.

Either way, this is an advanced form of thought and maturity that has the Pope thinking modern.

Now I suppose scores of Catholic school boys will suddenly want their religion teachers to plan a voyage to the Sistine Chapel during spring..

Facebook: Not doomed as users’ engagement increases and more seniors are joining in last year

This is amazing.. Facebook begins as a social experiment in a college.. a way of picking up women and getting sex.. it turns into an underage delight, with people way too young being on there experimenting with posting nonsense their parents should not see.

And now, the elderly come in.. joining in huge numbers and becoming addicted to FARMVILLE and all of the other atrocious games that people play.

The social network.. aging and graying.. but strong still..
