But Paul continued, using every trick up a Senator’s sleeve to delay debate and to confound his colleagues. He even asked the clerks to take attendance—a stalling tactic.
Eventually, his colleagues left the chamber. They had been away from Washington for more than a week, and they wanted to check in with their offices around the Capitol before heading home.
Authorities search for University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts who was reported missing after going on an evening jog.
Mollie Tibbetts, the 20-year-old University of Iowa student who vanished earlier this month after heading out for a jog, may have returned to her boyfriend’s house and evidence reportedly suggested she was doing homework late on the night she disappeared.
Family members told local CBS affiliate KCCI the new information on Saturday, but authorities did not give any new timeline—in order not to hurt the search.
She was last seen on July 18 running in Brooklyn, Iowa. She was staying at her boyfriend’s home at the time of her disappearance. She was there to watch his dogs because he had a construction job about 100 miles northeast in Dubuque.
Authorities said they’ve “put together a pretty solid timeline” of what Tibbetts was doing prior to her disappearance. Friends and family say Tibbetts, an avid runner, was usually wearing her Fitbit. Authorities reportedly searched cornfields and a nearby pig farm, but there has been no sign of the girl.
Tibbetts was born in San Francisco and lived in Oakland until she moved to Iowa with her mother when she was in second grade, the Des Moines Register reported. Her father, who lives in Fresno, reportedly flew to Iowa to assist the search.
Rick Rahn, a special agent in charge at the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), told Fox News Friday that they "anticipate additional sites" will come into the picture.
“We’re looking at anybody and everybody that would lead us to locating her," he said, noting that “her missing is suspicious” and that authorities are “hoping to locate her sooner than later."
Rahn also told Fox News that investigators have received "zero information" indicating that Tibbetts was a runaway or had a medical reason for her disappearance.
HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah (AFNS) -- In December, 574th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron maintainers installed a metallic 3D printed part on an operational F-22 Raptor during depot maintenance at Hill Air Force Base.
“One of the most difficult things to overcome in the F-22 community, because of the small fleet size, is the availability of additional parts to support the aircraft,” said Robert Lewin, 574th AMXS director.
The use of 3D printing gives maintainers the ability to acquire replacement parts on short notice without minimum order quantities. This not only saves taxpayer dollars, but reduces the time the aircraft is in maintenance.
The printed bracket will not corrode and is made using a powder bed fusion process that utilizes a laser to build the part layer by layer from a titanium powder. A new bracket can be ordered and delivered to the depot for installation as quickly as three days.
The printed part replaces a corrosion-prone aluminum component in the kick panel assembly of the cockpit that is replaced 80 percent of the time during maintenance.
“We had to go to engineering, get the prints modified, we had to go through stress testing to make sure the part could withstand the loads it would be experiencing – which isn’t that much, that is why we chose a secondary part,” said Robert Blind, Lockheed Martin modifications manager.
The part will be monitored while in service and inspected when the aircraft returns to Hill AFB for maintenance. If validated, the part will be installed on all F-22 aircraft during maintenance.
“We’re looking to go a little bit further as this part proves itself out,” said Blind.
The printed titanium bracket is only the first of many metallic additive manufactured parts planned through public-private partnerships. There are at least five more metallic 3D printed parts planned for validation on the F-22.
“Once we get to the more complicated parts, the result could be a 60-70 day reduction in flow time for aircraft to be here for maintenance,” said Lewin.
This will enable faster repair and reduce the turnaround, returning the aircraft back to the warfighter.

Foreclosures are up in the City. I think we're still going to see downward pressure on prices.
This rend is nothing new, hold on to your britches, its a gonna get bad.
I purchased a foreclosure last year. 55,000 below what previous owner paid. Was appraised at 20,000 above purchase price. Neighbors house just sold for 5000 LESS than I paid last year and their house was in much better condition than mine was. In a years time i am already in the hole. And its does look at this point it...
Short sell is the way to go, helps the bank avoid the problems of foreclosure and bails out the buyer by selling the house at market value.
Kind of ironic that borrowing on a house based on market value (false equity) got us into this mess and now short selling is an answer.
There are no shortages of houses out there that seem to be about 30% overpriced.
I'm with you Ice Dogg...unfortunately.
How did home equity ever become based on market value? It was supposed to be based on how much of the loan ballance a buyer has paid off.
LUCKNOW: A woman clerk employed at the Hazratganj office of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has accused a circle officer (CO) of sexual harassment on Monday.
Giving details, SP (North Circle) Anurag Vats, said: “She had lodged a complaint on Monday alleging that the accused Raj Pal Singh, a DySP, used to sexually harass her and misbehaved with her during work at the office. She also alleged that Singh caught her by her hand and his intentions were not decent," he said.
Vats said a case under intent to outrage modesty of woman and cause hurt was registered against the accused on Monday at the Chinhat police station in Lucknow and the police had started the investigation.
“We will soon assign an officer to probe the case,” he said.
A cradle for the new slim PSP model (about $45). This will allow you to put the PSP far away from you and use the included remote control, right, to watch things.
A bundle package includes cradle, remote, and a D-Terminal A/V cable (about $63). With this whole package, you can hook PSP up to your TV and watch whatever's on your Memory Stick from the comfort of your chair.
Both packages will ship on April 24 in Japan.
On the same day, a PSP "Matte Bronze" color will be available for a limited time. This will ship only as a "Value Pack" including the console, cleaning cloth, case, strap, a 32 MB Memory Stick Duo, and a D-Terminal A/V cable (about $225).
But before all that happens, on March 19, Sony will release a standalone version of its PSP microphone, which was previously only available in a bundle with its "Talkman" translation software.
You'll be able to buy one microphone for about $23, or a package of two for about $38.
The day before the microphones launch, March 18, voice-over-IP application Skype will become available on PSP via a system update.
Again, the above information only pertains to Japan.

TEHRAN — Iranian herpetologists have made the remarkable discovery of new genus and species of gekkonid from two gravid specimens which were found within Koh-e Homag protected area, Hormozgan Province, Southern Iran.
Even more significantly, these specimens distinguished as a new genus that scientifically described by Iranian scientists not just by solo foreign researchers. Description of new genus is a unique phenomenon.
With a greater human population density and corresponding development, Iran reptiles declines more and more. Geckos has the greatest number of species and genera in the Palaearctic Realm and equally so in Iran where there are 40 species in 12 genera.
In recent years the number of reptile species of Iran has increased rapidly and descriptions of new species continue to be published. Thirty new lizards have been added between 2000 and 2015, among which are nine species of gekkonids.
Barbod Safaei Mahroo is an Iranian pathfinder herpetologist who leads this project by collaboration of Dr. Hanyeh Ghaffari and his colleague, Professor Steven C. Anderson.
“Herein we describe a new genus and species of gecko from southern Iran, easily distinguishable from all other genera of gekkonid lizards by a unique combination of characters, although we have not identified any autapomorphies,” he noted.
Field surveys were conducted in June 2015 in Koh-e Homag protected area, between Bandar Abbas and Haji Abad County, Hormozgan Province, Iran.
Holotype is a single physical example or illustration of an organism, known to have been used when the species or lower-ranked taxon, was formally described. The holotype was collected at dusk and the para-type which is a specimen of an organism that helps to define scientific name or taxonomic classification was colle...
Geckos are among the smallest lizards and therefore a principal prey species, so their presence is vital for ecosystem. A feature that distinguishes geckos from other lizards and most other reptiles is voices. Geckos can squeak and growl, make rolling trills and issue quite unsettling barking sounds, among other vocali...
Inevitably this is part of their nocturnal life and their specific adaptation that has made geckos so successful. Safaei Mahroo and his colleagues’ surveys confirmed that Parsigecko genus is the only endemic genus of Gekkonidae in Zagros Mountains.
Zagros Mountains forest steppe contains numerous endemic lizards but Parsigecko found in an isolated patch of the habitat. Among seven endemic geckos of the Zagros, the new species was found at the highest altitude of 1596–1697 meters. Other geckos occur mostly from 500 to 1500 meters elevation, and Cyrtopodion hormozg...
During the last 100 years there were no similar gain in zoology field for Iranian researchers. It is also spectacular in the family of Gekkonidae because similar discovery occurred in 1914 and 1957.
The genus Parsigecko and its sole species, P. ziaiei, can be distinguished from other genera by some specific identification keys such as dorsal scales, post-mental scales, abdominal scales, nasal scales and so on.
The sole species has been named in honor of Iranian famous ecologist Hooshang Ziaiei. He is one of the establishers of Department of the Environment (DoE) and the writer of magnificent field guidebook of “Mammals of Iran”. As a university lecturer, Ziaie has trained many students in the field of wildlife conservation.
But British millennials don't fare as well, because old Britons don't want to downsize, meaning they have to wait for death and/or infirmity to drive a sell-off.
One missing factor here is the potential cascade effect driven by declining property prices: as we saw in 2008, when a substantial part of the market is occupied by speculators -- who don't value homes as a place to live, but rather as an asset -- who are counting on prices continuing to rise, they can be stampeded int...
All this means that it may be only when baby-boomers start to check out in a more permanent way that lots of houses begin to change hands. The most common year of birth for the baby-boomer generation is 1947. Since their most common lifespan is around 87 years, Peak Death could occur in 2034, when Britain will see arou...
Yet just as the housing crisis affects different generations unequally, the impact of the great baby-boomer sell-off will have an unequal effect on different groups of youngsters. The boomers will leave record amounts of wealth to their descendants. Data are poor but according to our calculations, roughly £100bn are le...
Apart from moving to 12 returns annually, instead of 36 currently, the idea was to move away from computer system based matching of returns, said Sushil Modi.
NEW DELHI: The government inched closer to putting in place a revamped return for goods and services tax (GST) to ease the burden on businesses by mandating only one monthly filing, with the supplier submitting the form and an alert going to the buyer.
Although officers and Infosys chairman Nandan Nilekani, who is advising the government on returns, have not been able to reconcile their differences on how the input tax credit will be given and whether it should be linked to actual tax payment, Bihar deputy CM Sushil Modi, who heads a group of ministers, said the pane...
The panel held detailed discussions with stakeholders on Tuesday and another seven days have been given for the feedback before the final draft will be sent to the GST Council, comprising union and state finance ministers, Modi said. After the meeting, Modi said apart from moving to 12 returns annually, instead of 36 c...
“The supplier will upload the details and the recipient will do the matching,” Modi said, adding that the buyer will be able to see what has been uploaded. He also said that continuous upload of returns by the seller will be allowed and the idea is to ensure that returns are in line with the current business practices.
Although the detailed content of forms was yet to be finalised, Modi said adequate time will be given to GST Network, which provides the IT backbone, as well as businesses for transition. Till then the interim arrangement will continue.
“Returns are the soul of GST and credit is based on that,” Modi said. Returns have been a sore point with businesses, who have cited this as a major burden although the government had earlier dismissed it as a bogey to avoid detailed scrutiny. But under pressure before elections in Gujarat, the government softened its ...
While e-way bills and reserve charge mechanism were also put on the backburner, the anti-evasion tools are once again in focus. Modi said the panel will deliberate on the details for rolling out the reverse charge mechanism in the first week of May, with the time table and the coverage to be decided.
Reverse charge is to be paid by registered GST payers on behalf of small suppliers, who are exempted from registration. The registered dealer or the buyer, who has to pay GST under reverse charge, has to undertake self-invoicing for the purchases.
