Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump are both "welcome" to testify about the Trump-Russia investigation.
Last week, the Department of Justice filed a motion to drop the charges against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
In the aftermath, Trump has been demanding investigations and accountability for top Obama-era officials who may have broken the law and/or skirted boundaries to launch the Russia investigation.
Obama has also hit back, pathetically claiming that Trump is a danger to the rule of law and that the DOJ has been tarnished under Trump.
In response to all of this, Graham released a statement on Thursday that his Senate committee plans to begin high-profile hearings on the topic beginning next month.
"I am greatly concerned about the precedent that would be set by calling a former president for oversight," Graham said. "No president is above the law. However, the presidency has executive privilege claims against other branches of government." Graham added that "to say we are living in unusual times is an understatement."
In a Thursday morning tweet, Trump called on Graham to ask Obama to testify about what Trump has dubbed "Obamagate."
If I were a Senator or Congressman, the first person I would call to testify about the biggest political crime and scandal in the history of the USA, by FAR, is former President Obama. He knew EVERYTHING. Do it @LindseyGrahamSC, just do it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more talk!
For his part, Obama blasted Attorney General William Barr's decision to drop the Justice Department's criminal case against Flynn last week.
"The news over the last 24 hours I think has been somewhat downplayed — about the Justice Department dropping charges against Michael Flynn," Obama told former administration officials in a snippet of a conversation that was leaked to Yahoo News. "And the fact that there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That's the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic, not just institutional norms, but our basic understanding of the rule of law is at risk. And when you start moving in those directions, it can accelerate pretty quickly, as we've seen in other places."
Graham alluded to Obama's comments in his statement Thursday.
"We have the sitting president (Trump) accusing the former president (Obama) of being part of a treasonous conspiracy to undermine his presidency," Graham said. "We have the former president suggesting the current president is destroying the rule of law by dismissing the Gen. Flynn case. All of this is occurring during a major pandemic."
"As to the Judiciary Committee, both presidents are welcome to come before the committee and share their concerns about each other. If nothing else, it would make for great television. However, I have great doubts about whether it would be wise for the country," he added.
While Obama and Trump have been going at each other, we also learned this week the names of several Obama administration officials who "unmasked" Flynn in late 2016 and early 2017.
Below are a few of the big names on the documents that "unmasked" Flynn's identity:
Former White House chief of staff Denis McDonough
Former FBI director James Comey
Former CIA director John Brennan
Former director of national intelligence James Clapper
Unmasking involves revealing the identity of an American's private phone conversations without a constitutional warrant.
These documents are particularly important because Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, originally claimed he had no role in this.
Now, we see that he literally requested to "unmask" Flynn's identity.
In the newly released documents, we also learned that the FBI had drawn up paperwork to close the case against Flynn, but fired agent Peter Strzok made a last-minute move to keep it open.
Strzok was fired for sending countless anti-Trump text messages to Lisa Page, a former FBI lawyer with whom he was having an affair.
Strzok played a critical role in going after Flynn, the new documents reveal.
Handwritten notes from the FBI — which were withheld from Flynn's defense team for years — show that a key goal of the agents investigating Flynn was "to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired."

حجم انبوه تجارب کشورهای پیشرو در صنعت گردشگری و نیز تحقیقات علمی پژوهشگران و اندیشمندان هر دو گویای این مسئله است که صنعت گردشگری نیازمند نگرش سیستمی است؛ یعنی این که این صنعت نیازمند یکسری درون دادها مثل زیرساختها و تأمین منابع مالی است و برون دادهای آن نیز درامدهای ارزی و اشتغال و شکوفایی اقتصادی هستند. هدف اصلی این پژوهش بررسی نقش زیرساختها و منابع مالی (درون دادها) در توسعه صنعت گردشگری مازندران به ویژه شهرستان سوادکوه است. سؤال اصلی مقاله این است که با فرض برخورداری استان مازندران و شهرستان سوادکوه از جاذبه‌های گردشگری، زیرساخت‌ها و منابع مالی چگونه می‌توانند به توسعه صنعت گردشگری در استان مازندران و سوادکوه شتاب بخشند؟ برای پاسخگویی به این سؤال اصلی سؤالات فرعی دیگری نیز در این مقاله مطرح می‌شوند از جمله این که زیرساختهای گردشگری کداماند؟ و این که ضرورت سرمایه‌گذاری در صنعت گردشگری چیست؟ فرضیه مقاله مدعی است که به نظر میرسد بین درون دادهای سیستم صنعت گردشگری مازندران و توسعه برون دادهای آن رابطه معناداری وجود دارد. روش انجام مقاله توصیفی - پیمایشی است. جامعه آماری مقاله شامل مدیران و کارکنان سازمان‌های فرمانداری، محیط زیست، شهرداری، منابع طبیعی و ارشاد سوادکوه و نیز معاونت سرمایه‌گذاری اداره کل میراث فرهنگی و صنایع دستی و گردشگری استان مازندران و سرمایه‌گذاران در حوزه گردشگری استان هستند و حجم نمونه نیز تعداد 180 نفر است که به روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی طبقه‌ای انتخاب شدند. ابزار جمع‌آوری اطلاعات پرسشنامه است. روایی ابزار سنجش از نوع صوری محتوایی انجام شد. برای تعیین پایایی نیز از ضریب آلفای کرونباخ استفاده شد که در این تحقیق پایائی 86/0 به دست آمد. برای تجزیه و تحلیل دادهها از آزمون تی تک نمونهای و نرم‌افزار آماری SPSS16 استفاده شده است. نتایج مقاله نشان میدهد که سرمایهگذاری در زمینه زیرساختها، ایجاد جاذبههای مناسب (مناطق نمونه گردشگری)، ایجاد امنیت اقتصادی و اجتماعی برای سرمایهگذاران و در نظر گرفتن تسهیلات در حوزه گردشگری باعث توسعه صنعت گردشگری استان مازندران خواهد شد.

Showing lots of composure in the face of incessant attacks from Aaro Vainio (Tech 1 Racing), Kevin Korjus (Koiranen Bros Motorsport) drove to his second win, making it a perfect weekend with two pole positions and two victories. Coming into this round with a lead of eleven points in the overall standings, the Estonian driver leaves Germany a full twenty-one points ahead of Arthur Pic (Tech 1 Racing), third again today.
Just like the previous day, Kevin Korjus started from number one position on the front row, ahead of the Tech 1 Racing drivers Aaro Vainio and Arthur Pic. Clearly not falling victim to the mounting pressure, the Estonian immediately took control of the race ahead of Aaro Vainio, Arthur Pic and Luciano Bachet (Interwetten.com), who got the better of Javier Tarancon (Epsilon Euskadi). But the Spaniard fought back and moved up to reclaim fourth position before the end of the first lap. Back in the peloton, an error by Giovani Venturini (Epsilon Euskadi) saw him plough into the rail.
Kevin Korjus and Aaro Vainio pushed hard in the early laps to pull away from the Pic, Tarancon duo. Farther back, Bart Hylkema (Koiranen Bros Motorsport) showed us some inspired driving to overtake Andre Negrao (Cram Competition) and grab 9th place. A lap later, Hugo Valente (Tech 1 Racing) took his turn to get the better of the Brazilian to move into 10th.
Javier Tarancon, in just his second race in Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, boldly overtook Arthur Pic in lap 5 to win third place. The French driver got his own back a few turns later and Javier Tarancon emerged from the duel with some damage to his front wing. At the same time there was a coming together between Genis Olivé and Alex Riberas, causing Riberas to fall right back in the rankings.
But this race was far from over, with Aaro Vainio looming large in Korjus' rear views. Pic was still grappling with Javier Tarancon, while in battle for 5th place, Luciano Bacheta and Ludwig Ghidi (Keo Racing) kept swapping positions.
The drivers continued to push hard right down to the wire. Aaro Vainio stayed in contact until the end but despite several attacks, into the final lap, Kevin Korjus drove to the win for the sixth time this year and further stretches his overall lead in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0. The first four were the same four as in race one. Aaro Vainio finished second, ahead of Arthur Pic and Javier Tarancon, impressive in his debut in the discipline.
Kevin Korjus: "I made one or two mistakes and my tyres suffered badly, so the last laps were very dicy. I was sliding a lot and it wasn't easy holding Aaro off. This weekend turned out ideal for me, but the season isn't over yet. Now we need to manage the situation and score points rather than going for wins at all costs".

THE GREAT PYRAMID - INTERESTING FACTS
THE BUILDING OF THE PYRAMID
Egyptologists claim that the big pyramid in Giza was made as a Tomb for Pharaohs and was built for 23 years by using copper saws and chisels. Actually not a single clue of a Pharaoh was ever found inside any of the pyramids in Giza. What is even more shocking is that scientists who have PhD in physics and engineering are willing to support this statement. Some simple mathematical calculations however, make this theory highly improbable.
The big pyramid in Giza is made out of 2.5 milion blocks, each one with avarage weight of 10 tons. The "mine" from which the blocks were taken (removed, cut and polished) is located on approximately 900 km away from the place where the pyramid was built. The blocks are cut precisely in perfect size, which is something extremely difficult to do even with modern technology. In order for the egyptologists' story to be true some requirements must be met. First, you will need 1 300 000 very strong men, each one capable of lifting 200 kg and carry those blocks on a distance of 900 km through dry and hot desert. Only around 12 people could be fit around each block which means each person has to carry around 1000 kg. Let's say you can create reels. With such sizes a well-made reel could reduce the weight that each person has to carry to around 200 kg. You would need ONLY 24 000 reels as they can be used multiple times. In order for the big pyramid to have been built for 23 years, each block had to be taken (dug from earth, removed, cut and polished) then carried throughout the desert to the place of the construction, being uploaded onto ramps that leads it to its exact location and put in a certain sequence every 6 minutes, 24 hours a day, every day and every night without any rest for 23 years. The necessary amout of blocks for the creation of ramps would be around 5 milion accurately cut blocks, which can make the placement of the blocks on the pyramid easier. Let's not forget that the people from that time did not have heavy machines that ccould work with fuel. That means a caravan of men, horses or camels, chariots, blocks and reels had to go the distance of 900 km through the desert 24 hours a day without any breaks for eating and sleeping for 23 years. That is not even the craziest part. The copper saws, that according to egyptologists were used to cut the blocks, could cut materials with hardness up to 3.0. The blocks of the great pyramid are with avarage hardness between 5.5 and 6.0. Also no one has ever found even one of the 24 000 reels or the 5 milion blocks for the ramp in Cairo or nearby regions.
THE PERFECTION OF THE PYRAMID
1. The great pyramid is orientated exactly towards the 4 directions of the world. The deviation is around 0,06% nowadays (probably no deviation when it was made). The accuracy of the structure's orientation is with the accuracy of the modern atomic clock.
2. The height of the pyramid - 146.50m corresponds to the distance from Earth to the Sun in million kilometers.
3. A scale of 1:43 200 could be taken out from the pyramid. The height of the pyramid multiplied with 43 200 gives the value of 6 328km , which with a very minor deviation corresponds to the polar radius of the Earth (around 6 355 km).
4. If we multiply the perimeter of the pyramid with 43 200 we will get the value of 39 808 km, which corresponds (with deviation of about 0.7%) to the circumference of the Earth at the equator ( 40 788 km).
5. The sides lenght of the quadrangular base of the pyramid is 365 342 cubits - a number that corresponds to the total number of days in our solar system.
6. The three pyramids in Giza are constructed in a Pythagorean triangle; their sides are with a ratio of 3:4:5.
7. The pyramid can be used as a huge sun clock.
8. The distance from the pyramid to the center of the Earth is exactly the same as towards the North Pole and corresponds to the distance from the North Pole to the center of the Earth.
9. The pyramid is built as a flattened octahedron. For that reason its angles are 51,51 degrees. If the pyramid was built as a tetrahedron its angles were going to be 60 degrees. At first the pyramid was lined with white limestone stones. The base part of the limestone is calcite. If we look at it under a microscope on certain angle, we can see that the 2 angles of the base of its triangular molecule are also 51,51 degrees.

Viking Unbound
The Triad Series, Book 3
Encased in ice, traveling through space and thousands of years adrift from his world, Viking Einarr Bloodaxe can't help but respond to the call of his female and finally break free of his magical entrapment.
For this woman he's willing to defy everything—even time
York, England 970. A.D.
"We're not going to survive this time, brother." Aki's voice echoed around the dark cavern as they ran. "Someone betrayed us."
"I know that," Einarr snarled. "And, by the Gods, he will regret it."
"If we live."
Einarr took another turn and continued downward, the sound of underground water now in front of him. "We'll live." He slowed his step, as the light ahead grew stronger.
"By running away like cowards?" Aki was breathing hard. "They've blocked the entrance to this cave. All they have to do is come after us. We'll be easy prey."
"We're not running away." The eerie white light bounced off Einarr's shield and axe. The power of his ancestors surged within him and answered the call of the an- cient magic. "Grandfather told me about this place. He said that if I ever needed an escape, the waterfall would provide one."
Aki gasped as they stepped into a huge cavern where water tumbled in a frothing white mass down from the farthest black rock formation.
"There's a way out?" Aki had to yell to be heard.
Einarr reached behind him and grasped Aki's arm ring, sending a wave of power that pushed his words directly into his twin brother's head.
"Aye. Behind the waterfall. We just have to walk through to the other side." Einarr took a step forward, one hand on his axe. "Be careful. It's slippery."
Aki followed him as the well-worn path climbed steadily until they reached a smooth stone platform that seemed to disappear directly inside the roar of the white-flecked water. Einarr set down his shield and his brother did the same.
"Hold onto my cloak." Einarr said.
"I'm not a babe in arms," Aki complained, but obeyed him anyway. "May Odin protect us."
As Einarr inched forward, everything inside him slowed and coalesced into a burning hot sensation in his fingertips. He reached out his hand and the water turned to steam, lifting the curtain to show him the continuing path and a narrow cavern behind the falls. He kept moving and the waterfall closed behind them leaving an eerie screaming silence that made him want to shove his fingers in his ears and shriek like a frightened child.
The noise rose until the rocks were vibrating, and all the hair on his body stood upright like an animal at bay. Sparks flew from his outstretched fingertips ricocheting off the walls and slicing through the water like the sharpest dagger cuts.
"Einarr!"
He looked back and Aki screamed as the water turned inward and coalesced into ice. Then he knew no more.
Trios Space Agency Ship QZ41
Trios System 229995.
"So what we have here, Tecky is a bona fide prehistoric popsicle?"
"Not quite prehistoric, but certainly ancient." Frey glanced over at the ship's captain and tried to smile. "My name's Frey, Captain Travis, not Tecky."
He held open a door and locked it behind her with yet another security code. "I know what your name is. We call all the science officers Tecky. It makes things easier to remember as you come and go so fast."
"I suppose that makes sense."
She tried to sound calm and approachable. It was her first job, and she didn't want to give the wrong impression. The FREN organization, the Federal Research Environmental Nation, employed all the scientists on Trios System ships, and she desperately wanted to be one of them for more than just her probationary year. Unfortunately, from what she'd seen so far, the crew on this particular ship was rather casual about rules and regulations and found her insistence on following protocol rather amusing.
"I've been specially trained to keep an eye on this cargo, Captain."
"Why, what do they think is going to happen?" Travis laughed, the sound bouncing off the spherical metal walls. "Hopefully that thing is frozen solid."
"The ice is untouched. And that's how it will remain until we put down on Alpha Station Three."
Travis unlocked the last door and handed her the secure passkey. The temperature dropped as they approached the glass-viewing screen. Frey flipped the lights on.
"Well, Holy Magnet, he looks like a real live man, doesn't he?" Travis whistled. "Like he was freeze-framed from a holo-image rather than really frozen. Do you guys know how it happened?"
"We're not quite sure. It looks as though he and the other specimen were encased in ice so suddenly that they were preserved intact."
"When do you reckon that was?"
"About four thousand Earth years ago."
Travis whistled again. "Who found them?"
"Part of an old copper mine gave way near the ancient city of York and revealed the caverns beneath the city. The Earth scientists believe the males might be of Viking origin."
"You're kidding," Travis leaned in on the glass and shaded his eyes with his hand. "Looks like the guy has some kind of axe."
"You're correct, captain. The other specimen on your sister ship is holding a sword or a bow. We're not quite sure what it is yet."
"So they're going to defrost them on Alpha Three like frozen pigcow?"
"It's a bit more technical than that, but I suppose it is a similar process."
"We could stick him in our FoodPro and see if that would work. We'd save billions for the Trios Space Agency."
Frey smiled tightly again as the ship's captain laughed at his own joke and left her to survey her frozen science project. Travis was a confident man and despite first impressions seemed efficient, which was why she supposed he'd been chosen to carry such a precious cargo.
She went to switch the lights off and then lingered, one hand flat on the glass. Every time she looked at the Viking she noticed more details, the dark stubble on the warrior's chin, the heavy rings on his fingers and the arm bands with the Nordic writing and runes no one had gotten close enough to yet to decipher.
But soon they would. Frey could only hope she'd be allowed to stay and watch the great thawing out. The Alpha Three scientists were renowned for rediscovering and reintroducing lost species to their native environments. As far as she knew, no one had ever tried to revive two ancient Vikings…
With a quick look behind her, she let herself into the holding cell. Despite what she'd said to the captain, the FREN team had already penetrated the ice around the male more than once. Four tiny microscopic probes had been inserted. She was the only one onboard with the necessary clearance to read and monitor those probes.
The block of ice stood about three meters high and a meter wide on a plinth that provided power and cooling jets to keep the ice from melting or deteriorating further. This close, the ice was almost clear. Sometimes, it felt like the warrior's eyes were following her around as she worked, but they were still closed tight. She wondered what his eye color would be when he finally regained consciousness, and what he would make of the world he'd woken up in. She had to assume it would be terrifyingly unfamiliar.
She checked the sensors. Everything registered a big fat zero, which was just fine with her. It was quite a responsibility, but she was more than up for it. She'd also been given detailed instructions about what to do in any kind of emergency situation and how her primary function was to save the ice warrior at all costs. Not that anything would go wrong. The small crew flew this route at least twice an Earth month, and there was nothing hostile on the way to Alpha Station Three.
"Tecky, you receiving me?"
She didn't need to use her com to hear her fellow Pavlovan. They were both telepaths. Frey hadn't made many close friends during her year on Earth. She'd either been studying too hard, or been too reserved to get into the whole college culture. As a result, she valued having someone around on the ship she could talk to so easily. "Yes, First Officer Slavin."
"Come and strap yourself in, we're about to depart."
Frey blew a scandalous kiss to her important cargo, and after securely locking the series of doors, made her way to the bridge where the other members of the crew were already seated.
Slavin smiled as Frey went by her seat. "All secure down there?"
"Yes, thanks."
"We're not anticipating any problems on this flight. It will take about five cycles. We'll sleep through most of it."
"Good." Frey settled more comfortably in the deep padded seat and studied the blackness of space. There was so frakking much of it that sometimes it scared her. She liked her world to be ordered and controllable and…why the heeze had she ever wanted to work for an intergalactic corporation?
During the first space jumps, they'd all be immobilized in a semiconscious state as the ship followed its pre-programmed course and brought them closer to where they needed to be. The chairs acted like life support, monitoring body signs, offering the necessary nutrition and sending all pertinent information back to Earth and the various planets involved in case of emergency.
"There is one interesting thing happening out there," Slavin added. "We're expecting an up-close and personal look at a massive eclipse."
"Oh, that's right! Five planets are lining up." Frey grinned. "Being a science geek, I'm ridiculously excited about this."
"Alpha Station Three is between the last two of the aligning planets, Thor and Odin."
"Then my Norseman will appreciate that."
Slavin raised her eyebrows. "Your Norseman?"
Frey pointed down at the hold. "The frozen guy. Thor and Odin are Viking gods."
"Then it's a shame he won't be awake to see it."
"Maybe I'll open up the viewing screens in the lab so that he can get a peek at it. I'll probably have to view most of it from there anyway to catch and interpret the data stream for TSA and FREN."
"Lucky old you."
Frey relaxed as the thrusters started to rumble, and Slavin turned her attention to piloting the ship out of the dock and into open space. Sensors emerged from the arms and back of the chair and coiled themselves around Frey as the big engines kicked in and they set up for their first jump.
Now all she had to do was sit back and enjoy the ride.
Something called to him…
Something he couldn't see, but could sense deep within, like the pounding of his heart, the suck of air into his lungs or the throb of his cock…
Did he want to respond to that nameless urging? He'd tried before, but had given up in despair, his power too weak to force himself out of his stupor.
But this was more visceral. More of a demand, as if something gripped his heart and threatened to rip it from his chest while it was still beating… Had Odin finally released him from his hell with the promise of a fight to the death and the ultimate glory of a seat in Valhalla?
The smallest pinprick. A blackish glow that infiltrated his skull like a red-hot wire or the tang of a bloodied lip. It burrowed inside him and shattered into a thousand pieces. He screamed in agony.
Frey knew she was talking to herself, but she didn't care. There was no one else in the lab aside from the unmoving slab of frozen Viking. So, she talked to him when no one was around. What was wrong with that? Okay, she dreamed about him too, but those images were too erotic to think about while she was working.
She'd opened the viewing screens on the lower deck so that she could get a good look at the eclipse, which was lining up to be spectacular. Four of the planets, including her home planet Pavlovan were now aligned, and the fifth would be engulfed fairly shortly. The reflected light made the planets glow blood red, like four various sized discs superimposed upon each other. The smallest planet, Thor, would slide into place within the next few minutes and then hold position for about the same length of time until the planets moved away from each other again.
Data streamed down from six screens in an endless torrent. Frey had no time to analyze it properly, which didn't sit well with her. Her role was to make sure all the cameras and readers were functioning and relaying the information back to the FREN and Pavlovan scientists who had never witnessed this particular phenomenon before.
First Officer Slavin had said that several nations were also monitoring the eclipse. She had offered to stay on the bridge for the nightshift just to watch it hap- pen. Frey thought seeing it through the sealed windows of the space ship was way more interesting than just staring at the screens. As far as Frey knew, there was no danger in looking directly at the alignment through the thick protection of TecGlass, so she was soaking up every second.
After another quick check of the screens, she turned back to the window, holding her breath as the planet Thor finally slid into place right in the center of the slightly bigger Odin. Waves of redness seemed to undulate from the five planets making Frey blink.
"That's awesome," she whispered suddenly aware of what that overused word really meant.
A flash on one of the monitors made her look up as all the screens suddenly went haywire.
Frey tried to make sense of the gibberish now running on the screens, which flashed on and off. With a sudden explosion of color, the image disappeared leaving all the screens black.
"Holy heeze," Frey muttered as she frantically pushed every button she could find. "What happened?"
"Are you okay down there?"
"Yeah, but the data stream just collapsed. Is everything okay with the ship, Slavin?"
"Nope, all screens blacked out here and the coms. Life support is fully functioning though."
"Frak," Frey muttered as the screens flashed from black to red and back again. "Do you need to wake the captain?"
"I'll—" Slavin's breath hissed out. "Oh, thank the Gods, we're back online. I'm going to run some tests. You okay down there?"
Frey blinked as her screens stayed red, and random columns of figures cascaded downward like an uncontrollable waterfall.
"I'm registering something. I'm not quite sure what it is." She leaned closer to the screen and squinted against the fierceness of the red. "It looks like gibberish and it's certainly not English. Hieroglyphics maybe? Runes?"
The six screens flashed simultaneously and Frey instinctively shut her eyes. When she opened them again the data stream had returned to normal.
"Tecky? Frey? Are you still there?"
She fumbled to sit upright, mortally embarrassed that she'd somehow ended up under her desk like a three year old. "I'm fine, Slavin. It just got a bit bright in here. Everything's back to normal now."
"Good." Slavin hesitated. "You sound a bit shaken. Do you want me to send security down?"
"No, I'm good, I really am." Frey shook herself and stood up, smoothing down her tightly tied back hair. She tried to appear like the competent officer she was. "I have to check on my cargo."
She picked up the specially tuned recorder the FREN rep had given her and turned toward the cold storage zone. Even through the glass, she could still see the block of ice and the Viking encased inside. Red light reflecting off the eclipse out- side gave the ice a rosy pink glow with a smattering of dancing crimson lights.
Frey unlocked the security door and went in. She didn't realize she was holding her breath until it whooshed out in a little cloud of heated air. She put a tentative hand on the ice. It was frozen hard and the cooling jets beneath it still functioned perfectly.
Turning on the recorder, she walked around the block of ice, giving the receptors time to pick up all four probes. The signal beeped and registered another zero, and Frey sent a prayer up to the Pavlovan heavens. She'd go through the complete records tomorrow, after she'd reported the fault to her superiors back at FREN. They'd probably already noticed there was a break in transmission, but there was a slight delay in receiving information so she didn't expect to hear back from them right away. It gave her plenty of time to analyze the problem and send them a complete report herself.
A flash of light glinted off the ice, and she stared back through the glass into her empty lab where the screens were functioning perfectly and beyond her desk to the still amazing sight of the aligned planets. A soft sigh echoed around the en- closed space and the ice creaked and groaned.
The recorder in her hand buzzed. She looked down at it and then further down to the metallic floor where something red glinted against the corner of the ice block. Frey crouched down and studied the gleaming red droplet, laughing with stupid relief as she realized it was just a reflection of the eclipse. For a second, it had looked more like a solid gemstone.
Her smile dimmed. Her back was now blocking the colors of the eclipse and yet the red was still there…Tentatively she leaned forward and touched the droplet. It adhered to her skin, a perfect red globe and she brought it closer to her face and sniffed it, wondering at the coppery smell. Was one of the probes within the ice malfunctioning or even worse, rusting? It seemed unlikely, but she would mention it on her next report.
Even as she stared at the red droplet it started to lose its shape. She flicked her finger and jumped as a sharp pain pieced her skin.
"Ouch! What the frak was that?" She flinched as a bead of her own blood now bloomed in the exact same place as the red droplet had been. Instinctively, she brought her finger to her mouth and sucked on it.
"Eew, no that was stupid!"
She flicked her fingers, and holding her hand up and away from herself went through the process of relocking the security doors until she was safety back in the lab and able to raid the medical kit for a disinfectant spray to close the wound. She should have been wearing gloves before she touched the ice or even went near it. In her haste to check that the Viking was still okay, she'd forgotten procedure and ended up doing something monumentally stupid.
God knows what she could've done in there, adding her blood to the controlled atmosphere around the ice. She was a complete idiot. It was so not like her to do something so unprofessional.
"Everything okay down there, Tecky?" Slavin came on the com.
"Yes, everything's fine. No change in our cargo, and all my screens are working perfectly now."
"Good, I don't think there is any point in waking the whole crew up over this. We'll mention what happened to the captain at the handover in the morning, okay?"
"Fine by me."
"Then I'll see you up here on the bridge in three hours."
"Will do." Frey signed off and put away the medical kit. She'd give her report to the captain in the morning as to the effect of the eclipse on her sensors and instruments, but she wasn't going to mention her bleeding finger. Unfortunately, that information would be available for FREN to view on their specially installed cam-eras in the hold, which meant she might be about to lose her job.
With a groan she glared at her throbbing finger. So much for her long career as a Science Officer roaming the galaxies for FREN and TSA. She'd blown it. As soon as she got to Alpha Three she'd be fired.
She probably wouldn't even be allowed to stay long enough to see what happened to the Viking, and without FREN security clearance she probably never would find out if he survived… And that was unacceptable. She already felt a deep connection with him that unsettled her. Maybe it was that being associated with his reemergence into the world would help her scientific career, but it felt so much more…as if she was somehow supposed to defend him against everyone and every thing.
There was no point trying to hide what she'd done. Perhaps her honesty would work in her favor and they'd simply demote her rather than letting her go.
"Yeah, right." Frey muttered. "FREN is so well known for its compassion."
She settled back in her seat and started to compose her report and, just in case, her resignation.
The buzz of her com in her ear woke her and she sat up, aware that she'd fallen asleep at her desk analyzing data and that her hair was stuck to her face with what was either tears or drool. Whatever it was, she was glad there wasn't any vidscreen action. She hated looking less than immaculate.
"Tecky? We need you up here pronto."
"Yes, Captain."
She wished she had time to change but did the best she could to smooth down her hair and freshen up. She took the elevator to the bridge and arrived to find the whole crew already there.
"I hear there were some problems last night." Travis nodded to Frey to sit down and then pointed at Slavin. "What happened?"
"There was a small blip in our power when the eclipse reached its magnitude. I checked with Tecky in the lab to see if she was okay. Just as I was doing that all my systems returned to normal." Slavin consulted her handtech unit. "I've tested all systems and security classifications and there is no damage or indication why the outage occurred."
"Life support wasn't affected?"
"No Captain, just the screens on the bridge, which became nonfunctional for about thirty clicks."
"What about the navigational functions of the ship?"
"Unimpaired. It was as if the data streams were interrupted for a few seconds." Slavin shrugged. "I wondered if the perfect alignment of the eclipse had something to do with it, but as we've no record of this planetary event happening before, I don't have any data to back up my theory."
Captain Travis studied the data Slavin handed him. "Carry on with your tests and relay everything you're doing back to FREN, Earth and Pavlovan. They might have additional information for us. Until we hear anything different, we'll proceed as planned to Alpha Three."
"Yes, sir." Slavin nodded.
Frey tensed as the captain turned to her.
"Everything okay with your cargo, Tecky?"
"My screens went off for a few seconds, but there was no damage to the ice or the Viking that I could see. I've also written a report for FREN if you wish to read it."
Travis nodded. "Hell no, that's fine. Just make sure you send a copy along with Slavin's and any extra data you gathered when you checked your systems to FREN and every other damn agency that will insist on seeing it."
"Yes, sir." Frey sank back into her chair aware that Slavin was watching her closely. She made sure her telepathic shields were as high as she could before rising to her feet and nodding at the other crew members.
"I'm going to get something to eat. Is anyone coming?" Frey asked in her most cheerful I have nothing to hide voice.
"I'll come."
Slavin joined her in the elevator, her blond hair neatly tied back in a ponytail, her expression concerned.
"Why should anything be wrong?" Frey asked.
"Because before you shoved your shields up, I sensed that you weren't telling the captain the entire truth. Is everything okay with your cargo?"
"He's fine. It's just that I forgot to put my gloves on last night and touched the ice barehanded. I'm worried I might have contaminated the space."
"The Viking's still frozen stiff, right?"
"Yeah he is."
The doors of the elevator opened on the mess level. "Then you should be okay."
Frey followed Slavin out of the elevator. "You don't know FREN. They are really strict about proper procedure, and I'm a science officer. I should have remembered to keep the atmosphere pollutant free."
"It was an emergency situation. You did your best." Slavin said firmly. She pushed open the mess hall door. "Now come and get something to eat."

Antarctica and Arctic Suffer Record Heat Waves
in Climate, Featured, Headlines, Science

Both polar caps experienced record temperatures in the past few weeks. The thermometer registered a spike of 70-degrees F (40 C) above the average. in Eastern Antarctica. Some areas of the Arctic experienced more than 50-degrees F (30 C) warmer than normal.
Scientists are shocked about the heatwave that demolished records. "This event is completely unprecedented and upended our expectations about the Antarctic climate system," wrote researcher Jonathan Wille, reports The Washington Post.
As the South Pole heads into autumn, the region's weather stations saw shattered records on Friday. At Concordia Station, 2 miles high (3,234 meters) recorded 10-degrees F (minus 12.2 C), which reflects a 70-degree increase. Another mile higher is the Vostok Station. The temperature barely hit 0-degrees (-17.7 C). The coastal Terra Nova Base reached a high of 44.6 F (7 C), well above freezing.

The high temperature at the North Pole surprised officials at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSDIC) in Boulder, Colorado. With the temperature 50-degrees higher than normal, areas in the region were melting and that is really unusual for this time of year, explained Walt Meier, a scientist at the NSDIC, according to NBC News.

Antarctica and the Arctic are opposite seasons. "You don't see the north and the south (poles) both melting at the same time. It's definitely an unusual occurrence," Meier added.
It is "not a good sign when you see that sort of thing happen" explained University of Wisconsin meteorologist, Matthew Lazzara. He monitors the temperature at Dome C-ii in East Antarctica where it was 14-degrees F (minus 10 C) on Friday. By comparison, the normal is minus 45 F (minus 43 C), and that is what is expected in January, not March, Lazzara points out, according to NBC News. "It's pretty stunning," he added.
The extremely high temperatures in Antarctica are likely a random weather event rather than a sign of climate change, both Lazzara and Meier said. However, if it happens again or repeatedly then the experts will reevaluate what is happening in the North and South Poles.

Academy Awards React After Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock


Synopsis: In North Carolina you have to be separated for one year before you can get a divorce. You are separated when you and your spouse live in different residences and at least one of you has the intent not to continue the marital relationship. You do not have to have anything in writing, but you must have both the separation and the intent to remain separate and apart for at least one year.
In North Carolina, you must be separated for one year before you can file for absolute divorce. While you can have decisions regarding custody, property, and support before you are divorced, you cannot even file your action for divorce unless and until the one year separation has been completed. While some parties find it is necessary to continue to reside in the same home for financial reasons, or until a certain event occurs, North Carolina courts have held that you cannot be separated in the same house.
In addressing whether the parties have lived "separate and apart", North Carolina courts have repeatedly held that these words require "both a physical separation and an intention on the part of at least one of the parties to cease the matrimonial cohabitation." In the case of Myers v Myers, the court noted that even if the Plaintiff stated after separation, in the presence of third party witnesses, that he did not want a legal separation or divorce, "… it is not an admission that he did not intend to separate on 14 June 1980 [the date of separation]. Many married people intentionally separate and remain apart for some time before deciding to seek a divorce or legal separation." Myers v. Myers 62 N.C.App. 291, 302 S.E.2d 476 N.C.App.,1983.
While it is true that "The exigencies of life and the necessity of making a livelihood may sometimes require that the husband shall absent himself from the wife for long periods, a situation which was not contemplated by the law as a cause of divorce in fixing the separation." Byers v. Byers, 222 N.C. 298, 22 S.E.2d 902 (1942), a situation which started out as temporary, or one in which the parties intended to continue the marriage even though living separate can change. The intent to separate is reinforced if the Plaintiff continues in the same employment and both parties continue to live in the same town. In such cases where there was no reason why the parties could not have continued to cohabit or to have resumed marital cohabitation had the parties desired to do so, intent is self evident. In such cases, if a party had wished to do so, she/he could have and would have had the other party move in with him/her.
Surprisingly, you do not even have to tell your spouse that you are intending to live separate and apart. In a 2002 case, the parties separated when the Husband came from Florida to North Carolina for his business in January 1999, but he did not tell his wife of his intent to separate until September 1999, several months after Wife and the minor child had moved into a house in North Carolina, which the Husband never moved into. The Wife tried to assert that there was no separation until the Husband told her of his intent not to continue the marital cohabitation. The Court of Appeals stated, "The sole issue before this Court is whether one party's intent to cease cohabitation without his spouse's knowledge, but for the statutory time period under Section 50-6, is sufficient to grant that party a decree of absolute divorce. We hold that it is sufficient." Smith v. Smith 151 N.C.App. 130, 564 S.E.2d 591 (2002). This was true even where the Plaintiff had returned to the marital home overnight on at least two occasions, but slept in a different room.
As the court has explained, it is the intention not to live together as husband and wife that is manifested by the separation of the parties. Martial cohabitation is to live together while married. The fact that one party may have hoped or wanted or expected that things would change and they might again live together, or that one party's intent to end marital cohabitation was not spoken, is irrelevant.

Rosenberg = Durant: On evolving expectations
February 20, 2015 by Sam Tydings
Results are not the driving factor in fan happiness. Results in relation to expectations are.
For example, many Sixers fans are incredibly optimistic about the future despite the team's putrid results on the court for a second straight year because they understand the front office's plan and see a light at the end of the tunnel. Oklahoma City Thunder fans expected their team to compete for a championship before the season, but everything changed once Kevin Durant suffered a Jones fracture in his right foot and Russell Westbrook broke his hand on opening night. At 29-25, the Thunder are finally healthy and have an opportunity to reach the lofty goal but will face an uphill battle come playoff time. As a fan of the team, it would be understandable if a full-strength Thunder team got knocked out by the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. Had you told me this was the likely scenario in August, I would have been irate.
All of this brings me to the constantly shifting expectations and the ensuing questions raised by the 2014-15 Columbia Lions.
Alex Rosenberg is not Kevin Durant but his injury, like KD's to Oklahoma City, drastically altered what Lions fans could expect from this season. Columbia went from potentially building off of last year's promising Ivy and CIT run to seemingly being doomed to mediocrity. Going into this weekend, Columbia is sitting at fifth place in the Ivy League with a 3-5 conference record. Five months ago, this would have seemed completely reasonable.
So why does it feel like such a disappointment? For fans, it is natural that we get caught up the smaller-scale events which cause us to become overly optimistic or pessimistic. Specifically for Columbia fans, the outstanding flashes of brilliance by freshman Kyle Castlin and the continued improvement of Chairman Maodo Lo led fans to believe that Rosenberg's contributions on the offensive end could easily be replaced. Throw in the 11-0 start and halftime lead at Rupp Arena and the strong first half showing against Connecticut and the expectations were no longer middle of the Ivy pack but a top-three Ivy finish as winter break came to a close. The Lions were still a step below Harvard and Yale but they were certainly better than the Cornells and Dartmouths of the league, right?
Fast forward to today. With just six games remaining, Columbia is poised to finish in the middle of the pack, and it's time to readjust expectations again. A 4-2 finish over the next three weekends puts Columbia at 15 wins for the third time in the last four seasons and likely will provide the Lions an opportunity to buy a CIT bid again. One could say that a 7-7 finish would be a step back considering the optimism around the team over the summer. As recently as five weeks ago, a .500 Ivy record would have been a huge disappointment. Considering where Columbia was in the immediate aftermath of Rosenberg's injury, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that this is where the team likely belongs, despite the individual positives that fans can take away from nonconference play. The only thing all Columbia supporters have agreed on for a while is that they can't wait to see next year's team: a refrain as old as sports fandom itself.
