Some residents of a New Jersey town are unhappy about a decision to rename the local “John F. Kennedy Center” to the “Barack Obama Center.”

The Willingboro Township Council voted earlier this week on the name change and will vote again to add the word “President” in front of the center’s new designation.

According to Philly.com, it was Deputy Mayor Jacqueline Jennings’ idea to update the center’s moniker. “I think that people have a sense of pride about [Obama]. We had so many new people register to vote, people who had never voted before.”   Continue reading “Sorry, Kennedy: NJ town moves to rename JFK center for Obama”

REVERE, Mass. (WHDH) – For days there have been military type vehicles in Ferguson, Missouri where law enforcement agents have been using them to try to keep the peace, but is that doing more harm than good?

There are now calls to look into the so-called militarization of police.

Weapons are easily smuggled through so-called naked body scanners, according to new research released Thursday. The devices are no longer used at airports in the United States but remain in other government facilities worldwide.

The Rapiscan Secure 1000 Single Post “backscatter” scanner – called the “naked scanner” by critics because of the images it produced of those inside – cannot detect a weapon hidden on the side of one’s body, according to the team of researchers from the University of California-San Diego, University of Michigan, and Johns Hopkins University.   Continue reading “Researchers: Tests show TSA ‘naked’ body scanners can be easily fooled”

Scientists believe they have come up with a way to print drugs, using a 3D printer. They say they can create a capsule, which can be swallowed, and it will also allow doctors to alter a dosage according to the specific requirements.

A team of researchers, from the Louisiana Tech University, believes they have come up with a solution to find a biodegradable material, which could be used to contain everyday drugs, as well as chemotherapeutic compounds for those needing cancer treatments. The 3D printer would be able to create the capsule, meaning that medicine only needs to be inserted before it is sealed, Science Daily reports.   Continue reading “3D printing drugs – New technology to revolutionize medical industry”

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza militants Friday gunned down 18 alleged spies for Israel in an apparent attempt to plug security breaches and deter others, a day after Israel killed three top Hamas military commanders in an airstrike likely guided by collaborators.

In one incident, masked gunmen lined up seven men, their heads covered by bags, along a wall outside a Gaza City mosque and shot them to death in front of hundreds of people, witnesses said. A note pinned on the wall said they had leaked information about the location of tunnels, homes of fighters and rockets that were later struck by Israel.   Continue reading “Gaza militants kill 18 alleged spies for Israel”

With their proposals defeated in Congress for now, pro-amnesty activists have dropped off the radar while President Obama considers a major executive action that Republicans have warned could precipitate a constitutional crisis.

August recess town halls have also been relatively quiet, devoid of reports of pro-amnesty demonstrations. The border crisis has dominated many such events, with lawmakers taking tough questions from constituents, but few have dealt with protests when they make themselves available to constituents.     Continue reading “Crickets From Amnesty Activists In August”

DENVER (CBS4) – The conflict in Ferguson, Mo., where an unarmed teen was shot by police has raised the issue whether police agencies are becoming too militarized. And records show several Colorado law enforcement agencies have an array of equipment that the military no longer needs.

CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger looked at what local agencies have gotten and how they’re using it.

Rather than throw it away, the Department of Defense gives items they no longer need away to local police agencies. But the trouble in Missouri has raised questions whether militarization has gone too far.   Continue reading “Colorado Law Enforcement Agencies Obtain Unwanted Military Equipment”

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) believes the jihadist group the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS or ISIL) may have already sent militants across the U.S.-Mexican border.

Perry was directly asked about this prospect Thursday afternoon after he gave a border-security speech at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. Perry, a potential 2016 presidential candidate who spent much of the speech castigating ISIS after the group brutally executed an American journalist earlier this week, said there was “a very real” risk they were already inside the U.S.   Continue reading “Rick Perry: There Is ‘A Very Real Possibility’ ISIS Forces Have Crossed US-Mexican Border”
