Santorum-Gingrich Ticket Floated By Gingrich Adviser

A senior adviser to Newt Gingrich told The Huffington Post Tuesday night the campaign likes the idea of Rick Santorum and Gingrich running on the same ticket for the presidency and vice presidency.
"Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum would make a powerful team against Barack Obama," the adviser said on the condition that his name not be used. "They have the capability to deny Gov. Romney the nomination."

The proposal comes after rumors of a Gingrich alliance with Texas Gov. Rick Perry surfaced earlier this week. It does not come off as a sign of confidence. Rather, it is an indication that the Gingrich campaign senses their candidate's position in the race slipping after the former House speaker's losses to Santorum in Mississippi and Alabama on Tuesday night.

Tide is the new currency on the criminal underground, can be exchanged for meth

 Tide detergent thefts, including claims that bottles of easily resellable, name-brand washing soap can be bartered for meth and heroin in Gresham, OR.

Tide has become a form of currency on the streets. The retail price is steadily high — roughly $10 to $20 a bottle — and it’s a staple in households across socioeconomic classes.
Tide can go for $5 to $10 a bottle on the black market, authorities say. Enterprising laundry soap peddlers even resell bottles to stores.
“There’s no serial numbers and it’s impossible to track,” said Detective Larry Patterson of the Somerset, Ky., Police Department, where authorities have seen a huge spike in Tide theft. “It’s the item to steal.”
Why Tide and not, say, Wisk or All? Police say it’s simply because the Procter & Gamble detergent is the most popular and, with its Day-Glo orange logo, most recognizable of brands.

Firefighting (and just plain fighting) robot

Collector of anomalies, esoterica, and curiosities.

This is a new humanoid robot designed to fight fires on Navy ships. According to the US Naval Research Laboratory who are building it with Virginia Tech and University of Pennsylvania, "a humanoid-type robot was chosen because it was deemed best suited to operate within the confines of an environment that was deigned for human mobility." Of course it will likely have other uses besides firefighting: The humanoid form factor "offered opportunity for other potential war fighting applications within the Navy and Marine Corps
