Schräge Musik – auch schräge Nachtmusik – ist die Bezeichnung für eine deutsche Waffentechnik zur Zeit des Zweiten Weltkrieges, bei der Maschinengewehre oder Maschinenkanonen schräg nach vorn oben gerichtet in einen Nachtjäger eingebaut wurden. Mit Hilfe der "schrägen Musik" sollten britische Nachtbomber, die keinen nach unten wirkenden Waffenstand aufwiesen, abgeschossen werden, ohne eine eigene Gefährdung eingehen zu müssen.

Die Bezeichnung leitete sich aus der schrägen Anordnung der Waffen ab. "Schräge Nachtmusik" ist eine Anspielung auf die Verwendung in Nachtjägern.

Funktionsweise
Die Nachtjäger flogen die Bomber an, sobald sie Funkmess- oder Sichtkontakt hatten. Beim Angriff näherte sich der angreifende Nachtjäger von hinten dem feindlichen Bomber und flog unterhalb und leicht hinter diesem auf einem Parallelkurs. Durch das Unterfliegen von feindlichen Bombern konnte mit den nach oben gerichteten MG unbehelligt gefeuert werden, da sich der Jäger im toten Winkel sowohl der Abwehrbewaffnung als auch der üblichen Beobachtungspositionen des Gegners befand. In dieser Position hoben sich die Angreifer durch die übliche Tarnbemalung kaum vom Boden ab.

Da die in einem etwa 70-Grad-Winkel nach oben wirkenden Bordwaffen starr eingebaut waren, musste der Pilot das ganze Flugzeug ausrichten, um den Bomber anzuvisieren. Gezielt wurde mit einem im Kabinendach angebrachten optischen Reflex-Visier auf eine Tragfläche des Bombers; das Ziel war, die Motoren und den Treibstoff in Brand zu schießen. Auf den Rumpf durfte nicht gezielt werden, da die Bombenladung getroffen werden und explodieren konnte; der Nachtjäger wäre dabei verloren gewesen. Ein kurzer Feuerstoß aus Spreng- und Brandmunition genügte im Regelfall, um den Bomber in Brand zu schießen und zum Absturz zu bringen. Auf Leuchtspurmunition wurde bewusst verzichtet, um nicht aufzufallen. Vom Ziel gelöst wurde nach dem Abfeuern dann in Gegenrichtung zur angegriffenen Tragfläche abgedreht, um nicht vom abstürzenden Bomber getroffen zu werden.

Viele Bomberbesatzungen dachten, dass sie von der Flak und nicht von einem Nachtjäger getroffen worden waren.

Entwicklung
Erste Experimente soll es von den Briten schon im Ersten Weltkrieg gegeben haben, unter anderem wurde dieses Prinzip verwendet, um die höher fliegenden Zeppeline anzugreifen. Darüber hinaus gibt es nur wenig Kenntnisse. Bekannt ist allerdings, dass die Montierungen der MG auf den oberen Tragflächen ähnlich der "Schrägen Musik" verwendet wurden. Die MG mancher Baumuster, z. B. S.E. 5, waren so auf ihren Montierungen angebracht, dass sie zum Laden aus der Richtung parallel zur Flugzeuglängsachse heruntergekippt werden konnten. Sie konnten auch in jedem Winkel arretiert werden. Albert Ball und andere erprobten mithilfe dieser Vorrichtung  erfolgreich den Beschuss von Luftschiffen von schräg unten bei gleichzeitigem Geradeausflug. Spätere Muster wie die Sopwith Dolphin wurden gelegentlich standardmäßig mit einer fest montierten Vorform der "Schrägen Musik" ausgerüstet und für die Abwehr von deutschen Luftschiffen und Großflugzeugen eingesetzt.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg könnte das Konzept von der sogenannten Becker-Angriffsmethode abgeleitet worden sein, bei der ein Jäger von hinten unten sein Ziel angriff, um dann zum Feuern hochzuziehen und anschließend nach Abschluss wieder wegzutauchen. Einziger Nachteil dieser Methode war die Gefahr, beim Hochziehen wieder in den Feuerbereich des gegnerischen Heckschützen zu gelangen.

Deutsche Jäger konnten mitunter minutenlang unentdeckt unterhalb eines Bombers fliegen, was zu Überlegungen führte, wie man den Bomber beschießen könnte, ohne diese sichere Position zu verlassen.

Heutzutage gilt Oberleutnant Rudolf Schoenert, damals Staffelkapitän der II./Nachtjagdgeschwader 5 (kurz II./NJG 5), als der erste, der diese Entwicklung maßgebend vorantrieb. Er experimentierte zuerst mit einem Nachtjäger Do 17 Z-10 Kauz-III und baute zwei MG 15 im Kaliber 7,92 mm ein; große Beachtung wurde dem aber von keiner Seite geschenkt. Bereits 1941 und 1942 versuchte er, seine Vorgesetzten und Jägerasse von dieser Technik zu überzeugen, blieb damit aber weitestgehend erfolglos. Erst im Juli 1942, bei der Verleihung des Ritterkreuzes des Eisernen Kreuzes an Schoenert, versuchte er es erneut und hatte Erfolg – der damalige General der Nachtjagd, Generalmajor Kammhuber, stimmte offiziellen Versuchen zu. Die Versuche zogen sich bis Mitte 1943 hin; das Konzept der Schrägen Musik bewährte sich. Im Mai 1943 verzeichnete Schoenert seinen ersten anerkannten Schräge-Musik-Abschuss mit einer Bf 110, in die zwei 20-mm-MG FF/M eingebaut worden waren.

Im Juni 1943 waren dann auch die Modifikation an der Do 217N und der Ju 88C beendet; es wurden vier bzw. zwei 20-mm-Kanonen des Typs MG 151/20 in schräger Anordnung im Rumpf hinter dem Cockpit eingebaut. Es wurde darüber hinaus an der Entwicklung eines automatisch auslösenden Waffensystems mit der Bezeichnung SG 116 gearbeitet, das jedoch nicht zum Einsatz kam.

Es gab mehrere Flugzeugführer, die unabhängig und gleichzeitig mit Schoenert mit dieser Idee experimentierten, unter anderem Hauptmann Prinz Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein von der IV./Nachtjagdgeschwader 5 (kurz IV./NJG 5), der an der Ostfront im Einsatz war. Im März 1943 baute er in seine Maschine zwei MG FF/M ein und machte Probeschüsse, um sie anschließend erfolgreich gegen die sowjetischen Bomber einzusetzen.

Die schräge Musik war als reine Nachtjägerwaffe konzipiert; eine Anwendung gegen bei Tage fliegende Bomber war in vielerlei Hinsicht undenkbar, da das Konzept auf einer Nichtentdeckung des eigenen Flugzeuges basierte. In der Regel waren die bei Tage fliegenden Bomber amerikanische Maschinen und mit einem unterseitigen Waffenstand ausgerüstet, der ein unbemerktes Annähern und Einnehmen der idealen Schussposition unmöglich machte, wohingegen die meisten der für den Nachteinsatz verwendeten britischen Bomber über keine ausreichende untere Verteidigung verfügten. Zudem war eine niedriger fliegende Maschine nachts gegen den dunklen Grund schwer zu sehen, ein Umstand, der bei Tageslicht wegfiel. Auch war der Einbau einer solchen Bewaffnung in die kleineren einmotorigen Tagjäger nicht möglich, da nicht ausreichend Raum vorhanden war oder aufwendige Konstruktionsarbeiten erforderlich gewesen wären.

Einsatz
Es dauerte mehrere Monate, bis die Umrüstsätze für die Masse der Nachtjäger verfügbar waren. Mitte 1944 war insgesamt etwa ein Drittel aller Nachtjäger entsprechend nachgerüstet. In Serie wurde die Schräge Musik ab Mitte/Herbst 1944 in die Nachtjäger eingebaut. Die Zahl der damit bewaffneten Nachtjäger wäre noch größer gewesen, wenn das Potential dieser Bewaffnung vom RLM frühzeitig erkannt worden wäre. Auch wurden Maschinen wie die He 219 nicht in größerer Stückzahl gebaut, und die Ta 154 wurde aufgrund von Konstruktionsproblemen nie einsatzreif. Beide Modelle hätten mehrheitlich mit Schräger Musik ausgerüstet werden sollen.

Schräge Musik wurde in größerem Umfang zum ersten Mal in der Nacht vom 17. auf den 18. August 1943 eingesetzt, als britische Bomber in drei Wellen Peenemünde angriffen (Operation Hydra). Nur die letzte Welle wurde von einer größeren Anzahl Nachtjäger entdeckt und bekämpft, da der Hauptteil (213 Nachtjagdmaschinen) über Berlin durch ein Täuschungsmanöver von acht Mosquitos abgelenkt wurde und so verspätet den Angriff auf Peenemünde erkannte. Trotzdem gingen 40 der 166 eingesetzten britischen Bomber (24,1 Prozent) verloren.

Die Schräge Musik blieb bis Ende 1943 von den Alliierten unbemerkt, obwohl die Flugzeugverluste auffällig anstiegen. Da die verwendete Munitionsmischung neben Sprengmunition auch panzerbrechende Munition enthielt, kam es bei den angegriffenen Bombern zwangsläufig zu Tragflächendurchschüssen. Anhand dieser Durchschüsse konnte bei beschädigt heimgekehrten Bombern leicht der Schusswinkel des Angreifers bestimmt werden. Wäre nur Sprengmunition verwendet worden, so wären keine Austrittslöcher an der Oberseite der Tragfläche entstanden, und das Angriffsverfahren Schräge Musik wäre länger geheim geblieben.

Gegenmaßnahmen
Erste Versuche von Gegenmaßnahmen waren die Anbringung von kleinen Sichtfenstern und Abwehrbewaffnungen im gefährdeten Bereich. Allerdings war dies wenig erfolgreich, da die Sicht nur sehr eingeschränkt war und die Waffentürme die Geschwindigkeit des Flugzeugs verringerten. Daraufhin erfolgten Versuche mit radarbasierten Lösungen. Das schon im Einsatz befindliche Heckwarnradar Monica war von geringem Nutzen, da es nicht weit genug nach unten gerichtet werden konnte; auch hatten die deutschen Techniker ein passives Radar namens Flensburg zur genauen Anpeilung seiner Ausstrahlungen entwickelt (was den Alliierten aber erst im Juli 1944 bekannt wurde, als ein damit ausgerüsteter Nachtjäger des NJG 2 vom Typ Ju 88 G-1 versehentlich in Großbritannien landete).

Erfolgreicher war der Einbau eines modifizierten H2S-Bodenradars im gefährdeten Heckbereich, mit dem man auf einem Zusatzbildschirm dicht hinter oder unter dem Flugzeug manövrierende Nachtjäger erkennen konnte. Diese als Fishpond modification bekannte Modifikation wurde im Bomber Command großflächig bis Mitte Herbst 1944 eingeführt und bewirkte einen Rückgang der Flugzeugverluste.

I am part of a special group of people. I was 3 years old and living in the Pittsburgh viewing area when "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" first aired nationally in 1968. Back then we had only one TV, which got four channels, and as the youngest of eight children, I rarely got to choose what to watch, except during the day when everyone else was at school.
I don't remember the first time I saw Fred Rogers put on that sweater and those sneakers. I don't remember the first time I heard the trolley's familiar sound.
I do remember how Mr. Rogers made me feel special, in an era when self-esteem was just a clinical term in psychology books and in a geographical area where many fathers were steel workers who didn't share their feelings as openly and as freely as Mr. Rogers did. He was the first person to ever say out loud to many of us, "There's no one else like you" and "I like you just the way you are."
The real magic of Mr. Rogers wasn't just that he told us we were special, but that we believed him. He wasn't selling anything. He wasn't putting on a costume. He wasn't claiming to have super powers. He wasn't talking down.
He was just spending quality time with us, one on one (we didn't know then that we were thousands and later millions), singing simple songs about the joy of living and the beauty of the day, and telling us we were OK -- that we didn't have to be anything but who we were.
It was Mr. Rogers' sincerity that made us able to believe in ourselves and in his teachings. He made us healthier, happier children and better parents. We will miss him and remember him always.
Words have never failed me. I've made my living as a writer, and I've always found a way to express my thoughts and feelings on paper. But for the first time, I find myself at a loss ... because of a loss ... the loss of Fred Rogers.
I had the special privilege of knowing Fred and spending time with him. I've never known anyone like him, and I don't ever expect to again. He was, quite simply, the finest person I have ever known. Fred truly lived a life of love. I can honestly say that I never came away from an encounter with Fred, however brief, without feeling enhanced in some way.
Fred showed me how to live, or rather how to try to live, because I am never able to act consistently the way I would like to, the way Fred did. I am too easily irritated by the failings of other people. Fred always -- always! -- looked for and found the better parts of other people.
As I write this, I find myself getting frustrated because the words are failing me. I can't begin to express who Fred was or what he meant. But maybe I don't have to, because really, we all knew Fred. He was the best that humankind can create.
So I will continue to do what I've done since I first came to know Fred. When I find myself drawn to my meaner or lower or angrier or darker instincts, I will try to remember to ask myself, "How would Fred deal with this situation or problem or person?" We all know the answer.
The world is a lesser place because of his passing, but it can be a better place if we all listen to and abide by that answer.
Farewell, Fred, my friend, and thank you ... for showing us all the way.
Editor's note: The writer worked for WQED for 11 years. Century Communications has worked with Fred Rogers' Family Communications Inc. for the past year.
In this time of stupidity and war, a gentle and giving soul completes his journey. He left the world a much better place than he found it. He taught us how to be humane.
"Mensch" is the word needed here. We are in his debt and shall remain so for quite some time.
Fred Rogers was not just Pittsburgh's finest citizen, he was also our favorite citizen. There was only one in this wonderful world, and he was special.
This soft-spoken, calming, pleasant man in a red sweater made it his life's work to teach others about inclusion and acceptance and to instill self-worth and dignity in all children. Since 1927, the National Conference for Community and Justice's mission has been to fight bias, bigotry and racism wherever it exists.
We are especially saddened by the loss of Fred Rogers because while he did not work directly with our organization, he was a wonderful and important embodiment of our mission who touched countless lives.
We recognize his superior achievements even as we offer our deepest condolences to his family and to everyone who loved him. Mr. Rogers, with his simple sincerity in spreading love and affirmation in the "Pittsburgh neighborhood," has made that neighborhood a better place for all of us.
Fred Rogers was my friend, even though he never knew it. Tragedy struck my family in 1977 when my 15-year-old sister was killed in a motorcycle accident. As a 6-year-old child, I found a calm refuge in watching "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" every day. He told me it was OK to be sad, or fearful, or angry, but that it's also OK to be strong, or happy.
I spent many hours enjoying his company as my understanding neighbor. I remember eating alphabet soup during the show, before walking up the street to afternoon kindergarten and humming "You are special" the whole way.
I met Fred Rogers on Forbes Avenue in Squirrel Hill a few years ago. We almost bumped into each other, and I was star-struck! He calmly smiled that wonderful smile and I caught my breath. Feeling like a bumbling idiot, I blurted, "Can I just shake your hand?" I removed my glove, and we exchanged a warm handshake. I said, "You do such wonderful things for children." In his famously slow diction, he said, "Do you work with children?" I said, "Sometimes, I take pictures of them -- I'm a photographer." He replied, "It takes a special eye to be a photographer!"
It felt like he would have talked to me right there all day. I thanked him and said goodbye, because I didn't want him to see that I was crying. I cried all the way to my car, feeling so happy and lucky to have finally met my friend in person, and he was exactly as kind and gentle as I knew he would be.
Watching TV one night, I caught Mr. Rogers winning a well-deserved award. He stood at the podium to give his speech, and everything slowed down. He said something like, "Creating takes inspiration. I'd like you all to take a moment to remember someone who inspired you in some way." The room was completely silent. Cameras scanned celebrities' expressions, many with tears rolling down their cheeks. The look in everyone's eyes was the same: They were looking at an old friend who made them feel so happy as a child.
Today I am mourning the loss of the wonderful friend and neighbor he was to all of us, the children who loved him.
I grew up in Pittsburgh, where Fred Rogers was everywhere. There were always behind-the-scenes film clips on the news and local shows; I didn't have to tour the studio to know how it was set up and all the tricks they used. "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" was such a simple show based on sweet thoughts from a kind man.
I saw him many times in person but never actually met him. Unlike most characters portrayed on television, you knew he was real.
As I grew up and moved away, I lost track of him. Every now and then I would see him on a show being interviewed; sometimes he was being made fun of in a not-so-nice or respectful manner. Yet he took it all in fun and laughed with them, and my esteem for the man grew even more.
Eventually time provided me with children of my own and the luxury of staying home with them. Imagine my surprise to turn on a newer version of children's television and finding shows completely inappropriate for my little darlings to watch. I found the PBS station and was surprised to see my beloved Mr. Rogers still there -- older, more gray but still the same calm presence amongst the chaos.
"Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" was not an exciting show, and that is why I liked it. Fred Rogers had such a wonderfully kind manner about him that I will personally miss. I know he taped his last show a couple of years ago, and I am sure the show will continue being shown on PBS for many years to come.
What makes me sad is knowing that the world has lost such a kind soul as Fred Rogers. And for the millions of children he has touched throughout their lives, remember one thing: "I like you just the way you are."
I work as a free-lance video cameraman in Pittsburgh and was privileged to work with Fred Rogers many times over the past 25 years.
A few years ago, I was hired to shoot a segment for one of Fred's "visits," a part of the program that was taped outside the studio. We were visiting an emergency medical center, so Fred could show his neighbors what it was like to be in an ambulance.
My father in Indiana had suffered a heart attack a few days before the scheduled shoot. He turned out to be all right, but I called the producer to let her know that I was flying in the morning of the shoot date, and that I might be a little late. When I came in, Fred said hello, hugged me, and then asked, "Chris, would you like to talk about your dad?"
The setup for the first shot ground to a halt, as Fred and I talked for 15 minutes, so I could tell him all about my father. There I was, a 45-year-old man, being consoled by Mister Rogers, and he cared.
Ludicrous, some may say, but I felt better about my life, and about my neighborhood. Fred never failed to ask me about my three daughters, all of them loyal viewers, and all of them tender and thoughtful grown-ups. When my grandson Ben was born, Fred Rogers sent him an autographed picture and advised me to hug him a lot.
Those of us in town who were lucky enough to work with him knew we were shooting worthwhile and valuable television. He was a sweet, gentle and generous man, and I will miss him.

How big could Facebook's fine theoretically get? Here's a hint: There are four commas, and counting.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sat down before lawmakers on April 10, and apologized, explained and defended the tech giant amid controversies over data privacy.

Former Federal Trade Commission officials have been pulling out their calculators in recent weeks trying to figure out just how big a fine the commission could levy against Facebook for its latest privacy mishaps. Then they look at the numbers on their screens — if their calculators can even handle 13 digits — and try to put the massive scale into words.
William Kovacic, a former FTC chairman, may have come closest when he joked that the potential fine as totaling "more money than there is on the planet." In other words, the theoretical limit to the fines could reach into the trillions of dollars should the FTC — in the investigation it started last month — find Facebook violated its 2011 consent decree on a scale affecting more than 100 million Americans.
That should be a bracing bit of math for the company. As most of Washington focuses on the political theatrics of Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg making his first appearance on Capitol Hill, it's the FTC headquarters, an Art Deco-accented building a short walk away, that could pose the greater threat to the company.
There are important caveats, of course.
Caveat No. 1: The FTC has not yet found any new violations, and the investigation is in its early stages. Facebook has repeatedly said it did not violate the consent decree.
Caveat No. 2: Kovacic's estimate of "more money than there is on the planet," made in an interview with The Washington Post over the weekend, covers only the actual currency — bills and coins — in the world. This typically is estimated at several trillions of dollars, denominated in various currencies, and not the far larger number held in various accounts.
Caveat No. 3: The FTC would never levy a fine, the former officials agree, that's so large that it would imperil the future of Facebook. Plus, FTC officials have presumably have had some visibility into the company's data practices since 2011, when the consent decree mandated that the FTC monitor Facebook's data privacy practices.
But what's clear is that the FTC — after years of trying to assert itself as the federal government's most important watchdog of digital privacy — has a hammer of potentially historic size to wield over Facebook. Should the current group of FTC officials decide to use this hammer, the company could be forced into major concessions that could affect how it collects and handles data — two issues at the core of how the business makes money.
That outcome is arguably more likely than Congress finally passing strong digital privacy legislation and getting it signed by President Trump, after years of legislative inaction.
David Vladeck, a former FTC director of consumer protection who oversaw the consent decree with Facebook, says he expects the commission to find new violations in light of the company's revelations last week.
Though he downplays talk of fines in the trillions of dollars, he estimates the probable fines in the vicinity of $1 billion, a record for FTC privacy fines.
However large the fines might be, "I certainly think that it gives the FTC leverage," said Vladeck, now a Georgetown University law professor.
But here's a look at the problem the company potentially faces. If you don't have fairly advanced calculator handy, try a spreadsheet on your computer:
In the first column of your spreadsheet, enter 71 million. That's how many Americans Facebook has said had their data collected by a researcher working with Cambridge Analytica, a political consultancy hired by President Trump and other Republican candidates over the past two federal election cycles. This is the piece that the FTC already has said it's investigating. It's also the piece that the former FTC officials are most confident could lead to findings of new violations of the consent decree. (Worldwide, the number was of affected users was 87 million, but the FTC covers only violations against Americans).
In the second column, enter 110 million, or half of its user base in the United States. That's a rough (and conservative) estimate of how many Americans were affected by the "scraping" issue that Facebook acknowledged last week.
The company said "most" of its users probably had their data collected by "malicious actors" who abused Facebook's search and account recovery tools. Though the data directly collected from Facebook was public profile data, the company has acknowledged that this scraping allowed the malicious actors to match phone numbers and email addresses collected on the "Dark Web" to identify the full names of users.
It amounts to a backdoor way to use Facebook tools to get sensitive personal information — and both phone numbers and email addresses typically qualify as "personally identifiable information" from a legal perspective — on users. With 220 million Americans using Facebook each month, it's fair to take half that number for this rough calculation.
This group no doubt overlaps in part with the 71 million affected by the Cambridge Analytica data problem, but the FTC could consider each incident a separate violation, effectively combining the two numbers for purposes of calculating a fine. Researchers also had warned Facebook for years of exactly this problem, and yet it continued, adding to the company's legal vulnerability under the consent decree.
So the third column should be the amount of potential FTC fines for each violation of a consent decree such as Facebook's. That number goes up to a maximum of $41,484.
Now add the first column to the second and multiply that total by the third column.
The answer? $7.5 trillion.
But wait, it gets worse. The kind of data collection that led to Cambridge Analytica gaining access to detailed profile data on 71 million Americans — including their work histories, relationship statuses, their "likes" and much more — was routine for app developers before privacy changes that began in 2014.
Then there is the FTC's definition of "violation." Federal statutes give the FTC some latitude in defining the term for the purposes of setting fines. It could be every person affected. It could be every day that people overall were affected. It also could be the number of people affected times the number of days they were affected.
These forms of data collection happened on Facebook over the course of several years, the company has acknowledged. So as a very rough calculation, maybe multiply $7.5 trillion by five years by 365 days. That's not counting extra days for leap years.
At a certain point, of course, the answer to these calculations don't matter. The FTC is not going to put Facebook out of business.
But the mere threat of a massive fine for Facebook, whose profits last year were $15.9 billion, gives the FTC rare power to demand that the company make changes in how it handles user privacy. The cost of these reforms — in terms of new staff to guard against intrusions or revenue foregone in the name of protecting users — could easily cost the company more money than any fine. Whatever the FTC demands, former officials say, Facebook is going to have a hard time refusing.

The search for the perfect vehicle is certainly draining. There are all sorts of factors to consider from cost to mileage, features, prior accidents and so on. Thankfully, there are plenty of helpful car research services available to make this process that much easier. Let's look at three of the best resources that will help you find the right vehicle.
CarGurus was launched by some of the web's leading executives. High-level execs from Edmunds.com, TripAdvisor and Expedia make up the popular service's management and board. CarGurus has quickly emerged as one of the most revered automotive shopping sites in the world. CarGurus analyzes millions of vehicle listings through a proprietary valuation model to gauge each vehicle's Instant Market Value.
This value is obtained by weighing an array of variables that impact vehicle value ranging from vehicle trim, model and make to mileage, condition, options and so on. These variables are used in combination with comparables in the shopper's local market to determine the Instant Market Value for every single vehicle in the service's inventory.
Go ahead and search for a vehicle on CarGurus' site and you will obtain a ranking of matching listings according to savings relative to the Instant Market Value. Vehicles priced with the most customer savings rank the highest in the search results. This is one of the quickest ways to find the best local automobile deals. Rest easy, as there isn't any subjective bias influencing the search results. CarGurus provides a quick, transparent and fair way to connect auto-seekers with dealers. The website can even help vehicle sellers pinpoint the best price for their vehicle and connect with interested buyers.
Just about everyone who is interested in a used vehicle considers obtaining documentation of its history. If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, the prospective buyer deserves to know. This is precisely why Carfax exists. The popular service provides accurate vehicle history information. Carfax taps into 76,000 information sources to determine whether vehicles up for sale have been involved in an accident. Though Carfax admits its records do not always contain the full history of a vehicle, the company's results are fairly accurate. Information is culled from motor vehicle departments, police departments, auctions and beyond.
All in all, Carfax has 12 billion vehicle records. More than three million records are added daily thanks to the efforts of Carfax's data-gathering team.

Lancashire more at risk from Covid than most areas, as public asked to help avoid local lockdown
The senior police officer leading Lancashire's response to the coronavirus crisis has urged residents to stay the course on social distancing to help the county avoid more suffering – and any prospect of a local lockdown.
By Paul Faulkner
Tuesday, 9th June 2020, 8:49 pm
Updated Tuesday, 9th June 2020, 9:50 pm
Deputy Chief Constable Terry Woods has joined the county's public health boss to issue a call for caution after new figures showed that Lancashire had one of the worst infection rates in the country.
Data released by Public Health England (PHE) for the final week in May revealed that the Lancashire County Council and Blackpool Council areas were two out of just over a dozen nationwide where testing had uncovered more than 26 Covid-19 cases per 100,000 people during that seven-day period.
There is good news – along with the rest of the country, the number of new cases identified each day in the county council patch has been showing a general downward trend.
Deputy chief constable Terry Woods of Lancashire Constabulary and Dr. Sakthi Karunanithi, director of public health at Lancashire County Council
But DCC Woods and Lancashire County Council's director of public health, Dr. Sakthi Karunanithi, say that the position of Lancashire in the context of the rest of the country is a cause for concern.
With further lockdown-lifting due next week, as non-essential retailers are allowed to reopen, the pair have made a plea to residents not to forget that they are still in the middle of a pandemic – and one which persists in the North West more than in most other parts of England.
"People need to be mindful that, regardless of what they see on national TV, the picture isn't quite like that for us – it should be in the next few weeks, one hopes, but at the minute, there is a higher risk in Lancashire," warned DCC Woods, who acts as Gold Command for the Lancashire Resilience Forum.
"I'm advising my own family to be really careful outside – and if they don't need to make a journey, then don't. Just treat it as being pretty hazardous outdoors."
DCC Woods stopped short of advising Lancashire residents to take stricter measures than advised by the government, but said he was worried that people were going beyond what is currently permitted – and suggested that the consequences could ultimately be felt across the county.
"I'm seeing people not adhering to the straightforward guidance – people who are from different households sitting down in groups, having physical contact with each other, touching their faces and clearly not washing their hands."
Stressing that he had no information about the likelihood of local lockdowns in the county, he added: "You can see from the data that if we can't further control and reduce the outbreak in Lancashire, then if the government considers local lockdowns, areas like ours would be susceptible to fitting the criteria.
"But we have still got the opportunity to bring that virus level down by sticking to the straightforward guidance."
Dr. Karunanithi echoed that appeal, saying that "the onus is on us" to avoid a second spike in coronavirus infections.
"My key message to people is: don't be a contact [for the spread of coronavirus].
"Everybody can play their part by following social distancing, hand-washing, staying at home as much as possible and working from home if you can – as well as not meeting in groups of more than six people outdoors.
"We could have been much worse off if it weren't for the people of Lancashire following the advice given so far. There is no magic miracle that has happened – it's been down to their perseverance, patience and discipline," explained Dr. Karunanithi, who added that he had not yet seen more "granular" information which would help explain whether the PHE data from late May was the result of community transmission or outbreaks in care homes.
Earlier this week, he advised schools that they should still not reopen more widely, but he will not be issuing similar guidance to the county's retailers as they prepare to welcome customers back – instead appealing to traders and customers to act responsibly.
"This is not a trade-off between health and the economy – they go hand in hand. We must avoid seeing the health crisis as stopping us from growing the economy – secure our health and we can secure our economy."
Dr. Karunanithi also called on local public health officials to be given more control over the test, trace and isolate regime which the government has promoted as being key to enabling society to return some kind of normality in the absence of the eradication of the virus.
He revealed that he is "frustrated" at currently being unable to see detailed data for the swab tests carried out under the so-called pillar 2 system – those undertaken mainly on people in the community, largely outside of NHS settings. Such tests account for around two thirds of all those being done.
"My concern with test, track and trace is our ability to join the national and the local – it needs to be a partnership endeavour and we're not quite there yet.
"Give us some swabs in our hands – and we will direct them to people. We know there are some vulnerable people – such as victims of drug and alcohol abuse – who are high-risk individuals, at risk of catching the virus and spreading it.
"We don't have a mechanism to make those tests accessible to them – at the moment, people have to go online and book and drive to a testing site.
"We've also been promised pillar 2 data for some days now. All I need is a list of people who have been tested and what the results are at a local level – basic information.
"At the moment, we are basically just managing the consequences of these [national] programmes and however effective or not they are at the local level. We're asking for much more joined-up working."
DCC Woods went further, warning that the test, track and trace system to best protect people from localised outbreaks was not yet properly in place.
Dr. Karunanithi added that he understood that people were "fatigued" with having to live in the way in which they are at the moment – and warned that Lancashire would have to "recalibrate" itself to prepare for the long-term fallout from Covid-19.
"It's already clear that this is going to make inequalities worse – mental health, homelessness, unemployment, long-term health effects.
"The aftermath is going to be with us for at least a generation – 10-15 years.
"There has never been a time when we have needed more to pull together as a county."
"AS BAD AS IT GETS"
Lancashire County Council leader Geoff Driver said that the contrast between Lancashire and London revealed by Covid-19 data showing infection rates just 10 days ago was "stark".
"You look at the map of England as a whole and you see Lancashire is as bad as it gets.
"The vast majority of people here are sticking to the rules and doing their very best, but there's a significant minority who have been having gatherings where too many people are getting together.
"Even if the government has relaxed some of the lockdown rules, there are plenty of them still there – they haven't all been done away with and we need to abide by them.
"We need people to reflect on the fact that we're not out of this yet – Covid is still there and it's just waiting for people to relax too much and, if they do, we could end up in a serious situation again," County Cllr Driver warned.
The county as a whole has passed the grim milestone of more than a thousand deaths linked to coronavirus, when fatalities both in hospitals and care homes are taken into account. That figure as of Tuesday of this week stands at 1,266, 924 of which have been in hospital.
Across the entire period of the pandemic so far, the Covid cases per 100,000 people rate puts Lancashire (307) and Blackburn (279) above the national average (276), but below that for the North West (359). Blackpool is above both averages (475).
WHAT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS
Responding to the comments, the Department of Health and Social Care told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that the government recently announced a £300m package for local authorities to work with NHS Test and Trace to develop local outbreak control plans, building on the work already done so far to respond to coronavirus.
Each of those plans will focus on particular community settings, such as care homes, schools and hospitals, to ensure contact tracing efforts are working in the area.
The department added that Public Health England shares data with its own local teams, which work closely with council directors of public health – with specialist teams from local authorities leading the response to any localised outbreaks.
It is understood that decisions about local lockdowns will be made at a local level, supported by the government's Joint Biosecurity Centre.
A spokesperson said: "The Government's priority is to protect the public and save lives. We have been working closely with our local partners, providing them with the resources and tools so that they can take swift action to deal with any new local spikes in infections."
The health secretary Matt Hancock said last month that local directors of public health would have an "absolutely crucial" role in the decision-making process about the imposition of any local lockdowns.
However, in answer to a question from the Local Democracy Reporting Service at a Downing Street briefing last week, the transport secretary Grant Shapps indicated that there would limited local freedom to deviate from the national position on when lockdown measures are lifted in the first place.
"I think, on balance, you've got to have a national message – otherwise people will be confused," Mr. Shapps said.

Lea Hartman is many things. A family photographer serving the Fayetteville, North Caroline area, she also wears the hat of mom and so called Army Wife, a roll she finds more difficult to fill than she ever imagined. In her personal project dubbed The I Am Project, Lea photographs fellow Army Wives in an attempt to give a voice and a face to the title. Each woman in the on-going project is asked a simple question. "What is it that you most want people to know about you as an Army wife?" Each woman choses her own word.
Tell me about your photography background?
My first real exposure to professional photography came when I was just 17. I did a bit of modeling that summer and though I quickly found that modeling wasn't for me, I was keenly aware of the photographer, Kurt Markus. I watched him as he set up his shot, listened as he offered clear direction to myself and the other models and I was fascinated. I have those prints hanging on my wall and though it would be a decade before I would really begin to pursue photography myself, that experience has always served as an inspiration to me.
It wasn't until my husband's first deployment in 2008—piggybacked by Ranger School—that I truly dove in. His first two years of service, he was home only five months. It was an incredibly lonely time for me and although I love my children dearly, I was still battling some postpartum depression and motherhood just wasn't enough to keep me going. Learning, growing and shooting saved my sanity and gave me something to focus on when all I really wanted to do was give up.
Once I began to heal mentally and emotionally, I was able to stop focusing only on myself and instead start seeing the women around me with fresh eyes. The truth is that I was very self centered. I had been living in the land of "woe is me" but in reality, my hardships were nothing new. It was incredibly narrow minded of me to think that I was worse off than anyone else.
As I met and interacted with my new peers I realized two things. 1) Being an army wife is absolutely nothing like the TV show and, 2) these are the strongest women I have ever met.
Their level of devotion, their courage and their positive outlook is like nothing I have ever seen. I wanted others to see it as well. They are often referred to as "The Silent Ranks" because while they may not wear a uniform, they serve every bit as diligently as their husbands. I have chosen to focus on army wives because my husband is in the army but this is true of all military spouses.
How did you come up with the idea of writing on the women's bodies instead of just holding up a sign or something?
Honestly, I did photograph one woman holding a sign rather than having her statement written on her body. It just didn't work. It felt detached, emotionless. The statements are not mine. Each woman determines her own 'I Am' statement and because they are so personal, I felt they needed to be a part of the women. Wearing their statements is a way for them to truly own them. That's what the project is all about.
How do you find the wives for your ongoing project? Are they all women you know personally? Do you charge for the shoot?
I don't charge anything for these sessions and it's not something you can commission me for. I'm very selective about who I photograph. I don't like to be dogmatic but I do think a personal relationship is important for this project. For me, this isn't just a cool idea to add to my portfolio. It's really a way for me to give something back to these women who have given so much to me. Not everyone is in a place to make such a public declaration. To see their faces as I'm painting words on their body, to watch their reactions as I show them their image…it's very powerful. This is a deeply emotional experience for these women and in some cases, it's very therapeutic as well.
You had a piece exhibited in the National Military Spouse Small Works Art Exhibition last weekend. How did that go?
Wow! That was really an honor. Drawing attention to the amazing women who stand behind our soldiers is one of my main goals and if even one person who walked through the gallery stopped and really looked past the display, past the image and saw Sarah, if they took a moment to empathize with her sacrifices and say a silent thank you, then it was a success.
What is the biggest challenge you face as a military wife and how do you overcome it?
The biggest challenge I face is my own pessimism. There are the obvious hardships like the long separations and worrying your soldier won't come home. It's not easy explaining to my son why Daddy has to miss his birthday again (he's missed five of our son's seven birthdays). Some days, the challenges seem to far outweigh the perks. During those times I can choose to wallow in misery, which will actually make me miserable, or I can choose to be thankful for my blessings. Ultimately, I know that no matter what happens, God will see us through and that He has never asked us to do anything that He hasn't given us the strength to accomplish.
If you were to do a self portrait for the project, what would your "word" be and why?
I'm not sure how many women I'll photograph before I feel like the project is complete. Eventually, I'd love to publish the images in book form and have the proceeds offer support to military families.
I have always known that the last photograph I take will be of myself and in big, bold letters across my body you'll read, "I Am Enough." I just need to believe it first.
When your husband is deployed, how do you find time to work as a photographer? Do you hire child care?
One thing you'll learn in military life is that time doesn't stop when your spouse is gone! I used to take deployments off but that was actually very isolating. Now, I schedule my sessions normally and hire a sitter for my kiddos if needed. However, I only work two weekends per month (and some weeknights as well) so that I make sure we get enough family time.
What gear do you love and use the most? What new piece of gear is on your wish list?
I learned early on to rock what I've got and in fact, when I first started learning about photography that meant using a little point and shoot Nikon! I didn't get my first DSLR until months later. Currently, I shoot with the original Canon 5D (although half of the images for The I Am Project were actually shot with a Canon 40D), a Canon 50mm f/1.4 and a Canon 85mm f/1.8. Sorry to disappoint all you gear junkies out there!
These few items are really all I need to create the art I want to create. If I ever feel like they're not doing what I want them to do, then I'll definitely upgrade. I think it's important for all aspiring photographers and professionals alike to remember that we create the art and the gear is just the tool. Use whatever tools allow you to execute your vision. I've seen some pretty rockin' iPhoneography!
Anything else you want to share? Advice on committing to a personal photography project?
Not only is this project very personal for me but it's also a complete separation from my client work which allows me to be creative and express myself photographically in other ways. It offers me inspiration and breaks up the mundane, as client shoots can sometimes become. For this reason, I think anyone would benefit from a personal project. It could be landscapes, wildlife, architecture…anything you want that you're interested in. Just remember to have fun with it. There are no deadlines, no stress. Have fun. Relax. Then take that refreshed perspective into your client sessions and rock those too!
Wow, such inspiring words! As we head into the holiday season here in the United States, I'd love to give a special shout out and thanks to all our service men and women (and their spouses). Thank you for your dedication and courage. Connect with Lea on her website (she has a really cute blog, by the way) or on Facebook.

In this study, Ropers-Huilman et al. interview white female graduates at a primarily white school to show that education about and discussion of racism, diversity, and inclusivity in an all-white sphere often cannot successfully get the participant/recipients of that education to deconstruct and understand the impact of their whiteness. This study is helpful as both an introduction to the idea of white privilege and as a nuanced view of issues that often plague Reed as a dominantly white campus.

Kitchen flubs are one of my pet peeves.
It is so frustrating to put the money and time into planning for and preparing a meal for Ryan and I, and then be disappointed in the results.
I have told Ryan from Day 1 (OK, maybe Day 10 when I first cooked for him) that I would much rather he be honest with me if he doesn't like something that I make - because ultimately he would be the one who suffered and have to continue to eat it.
Unfortunately, kitchen flubs have happened more than once this past week.
A few nights ago, I went out of my cooking-comfort-zone and put chicken enchiladas on the menu.
The recipe was pretty simile, although long.
The end result wasn't bad, but I was disappointed and mostly ate the innards (chicken, tomato, corn, onion and chilies) after discarding the tortilla. For those of you who know me - you know that this behavior isn't too uncommon... But still.
Ryan assured me that he enjoyed it - and within the next few days the pan of enchiladas.
After consulting our menu for the week and the groceries we bought today, I decided to make tuna casserole.
Easy. Fast. Yum factor = High.
I fixed Ryan his plate and while I was in the kitchen fixing myself a plate, Ryan said, "Have you tried yours yet?"
Translation: This is bad and you don't want to try this.
The worst part was that after trying to dish for myself and concurring with Ryan's assessment of the dish - neither of us could figure out what the problem was or why it tasted "weird."
Ryan also mentioned more than once, "I hope we don't get food poisoning."
So, needless to say that I am feeling more that inadequate in the cooking department this evening.
Normally, I do just fine and can whip up some good meals. Certainly not a master chef by any means, but I satisfy us and keep our tummies full.
Have you had any cooking or baking fails lately?
Did your husband or boyfriend fear that you were poisoning him?
I would love to hear I'm not alone.
How do you ruin tuna casserole? Was it out of the box? If so, maybe your milk is spoiled, because I had that happen to me once.
If you want to learn how to cook, I bet you and Ry could cook in the kitchen together! ;) Then, if you "flub," you both feel responsible and nobody feels at fault!

Sky Blues Latest
Sky Blues News
Johnson dismisses Spurs hammering
The true impact of City's staggering 5-1 August win at White Hart Lane took a long time to sink in. Looking back, it is as amazing as any other of the freak results that have littered the season given Tottenham have bounced back to become serious Premier League title contenders.
And, whilst Johnson is determined City should maintain their perfect home record in the league, the former Middlesbrough man accepts it will be much tougher, and said: "That was a one-off. We humiliated them with some of the football we played. I don't think many teams would have got close to us. The passing and movement was staggering."
He added: "But the fact is they have some top players, a squad packed with quality, and are playing much differently now."
Still, Johnson feels there is an anxiety in the Spurs camp about their true chances of overhauling City.
After all, Rafael van der Vaart wouldn't have started to question the Blues credentials if he felt they were no good.
"It shows we must be doing something right if people are talking about us all the time," said Johnson.
"If people weren't worried they would talk about themselves, so to find time to talk about us might show we are at the back of their minds."

Atlanta Mayor to campaign for Biden in Alabama
Thursday, the presidential campaign of former Vice President Joe Biden (D) announced that Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms will travel to Tennessee and Alabama to campaign on behalf of Joe Biden.
On Friday, Mayor Bottoms will travel to Tennessee, where she will host a Women for Biden event with State Senator Brenda Gilmore, moderate a health care roundtable, and host a meet and greet with State Representative Harold Love in Nashville. She was supposed to have hosted a GOTV kickoff event with Mayor Lee Harris and State Senator Raumesh Akbari in Memphis, Tennessee; but that event has been reportedly cancelled.
On Saturday, Mayor Bottoms will travel to Alabama, where she will host community events in Huntsville and Birmingham before speaking at the Alabama Conference of Black Mayors.
Biden has promised that his campaign will carry South Carolina, where he is leading in the polls. Biden hopes that he can win several southern states, including Alabama, on Super Tuesday to emerge as one of the leaders in the race for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.
The Huntsville community Event with Keisha Lance Bottoms in Huntsville will be 9:30 a.m. at the Huntsville Country Club 2601 Oakwood Ave NW, Huntsville, AL 35810. Doors open at 9:00 a.m.
The Birmingham community Event with Keisha Lance Bottoms is somewhere in Birmingham at 12 noon; but the Biden campaign has not given us a location. We will update this story once the details are available.
UPDATED at 10:27 a.m. 2/28 The Biden event will be at Iron City Grill 2208 6th Ave S, Birmingham, AL.
Mayor Bottoms will address the Alabama Conference of Black Mayors in Selma at 3:00 p.m. pm Saturday. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. C.S.T. at Browns Chapel A.M.E., 410 Martin Luther King Street, Selma, AL, 36703.
Biden has been endorsed by both Congresswoman Terri A. Sewell (D-Selma) and U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-Alabama).
Biden is the favorite to win both the South Carolina and Alabama Democratic Primaries. Biden however is trailing in most of the Super Tuesday states to frontrunner U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont). Sanders carried 47 percent of the vote in the recent Nevada Caucus. Sanders won the New Hampshire primary and won the most votes in the Iowa Caucus; though South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg won the most number of Caucuses, and thus the most delegates in Iowa.
Biden was the early front runner in the polls; but has been hurt by Republican charges of nepotism benefitting his son, Hunter Biden, while he was Vice President from 2009 to 2017.
The Alabama Democratic Conference has endorsed former New York City Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg was a late entry into the race, thus was not even on the ballot in Iowa, Nevada, or New Hampshire and won't be on the ballot in South Carolina either. Bloomberg has spent over $350 million of his own money to buy TV and media ads. Bloomberg is a billionaire with a fortune estimated to be worth over $66 billion.
Moderate Democrats like James Carville have expressed fears that the Democratic Party will suffer tremendous losses in November if Sanders, a self-declared Socialist, wins the nomination.
The Alabama Democratic presidential primary will be on Tuesday.

"I am honored to have the support of the Alabama Farmers Federation," Weaver said.
State Senate candidate April Weaver, a former member of the Alabama House of Representatives.
The Alabama Farmers Federation is endorsing April Weaver for Alabama Senate District 14, which includes portions of Bibb, Chilton and Shelby counties.
Bibb County Farmers Federation President Ashton Cottingham said: "April Weaver is a proven leader with all the qualifications and experience to represent our best interests in Montgomery. We support her wholeheartedly."
Chilton County Farmers Federation President Lynn Harrison said: "April is a public servant who knows how to get things done in Montgomery. She will work hard for the people of this district to make sure all of our needs are represented in the Legislature."
Shelby County Farmers Federation President John DeLoach said: "April has a proven track record of excellent public service. She is a true conservative who will work hard for us and represent our district well in Montgomery."
A lifelong resident of District 14, Weaver is a registered nurse with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in business administration. She has worked for more than 23 years in hospital management in various roles. Most recently she served as Regional IV Director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
When serving in the House of Representatives, she was the first woman to serve as chairman of the House Health Committee.
"I am honored to have the support of the Alabama Farmers Federation," said Weaver. "I know the importance that agriculture plays in our state, and I look forward to working with Alabama farmers and all the people of District 14 to make it a better place to work and live."
The Alabama Farmers Federation is the state's largest farm organization with more than 350,000 members. It uses a grassroots approach to select candidates, relying on FarmPAC endorsements from county Federation boards for local elections.
Sewell called for Republican colleagues who shared in conspiracy theories over the election to be held accountable.
Congresswoman Terri Sewell, D-Alabama, during a congressional hearing.
Congresswoman Terri Sewell, D-Alabama, in a statement to APR on Monday called out some of her Republican colleagues, specifically Congressmen Mo Brooks and Barry Moore, for what she described as their "irresponsible and inflammatory remarks" regarding the election outcome and statements made surrounding the deadly attack of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
Rep. Barry Moore, R-Alabama, on Sunday had his personal Twitter account suspended, and then he deleted his account, after two tweets he made regarding the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol drew criticism.
"Wow we have more arrests for stealing a podium on January 6th than we do for stealing an election on November 3rd. Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Detroit, would be places I recommend you start; there is video evidence of these crimes as well! #ElectionIntegrityMatters," Moore tweeted on Saturday.
Before his account was suspended and deleted, Moore also tweeted in reference to the death of Ashli Babbit, 35, who was shot by a Capitol Police officer when she tried to crawl through a broken window inside the Capitol during the siege.
"@mtgreenee @NARAL I understand it was a black officer that shot the white female veteran . You know that doesn't fit the narrative," Moore tweeted Saturday. The tweet has since been deleted, but it has been archived by Pro Publica's Politwoops project.
At least five people, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, have been killed related to the siege. Another Capitol Hill police officer, Howard Liebengood, who responded to the attack, died Saturday off duty, marking the second Capitol Police officer death since Wednesday. Police did not release his cause of death.
"Since Wednesday's violent assault at the U.S. Capitol, I have been repeatedly asked my thoughts about the actions and comments of my Alabama colleagues, especially Rep. Mo Brooks and now Rep. Barry Moore," Sewell said in a statement to APR on Monday. "While the Alabama congressional delegation has had a history of civility, if not congeniality, irrespective of political party, I cannot let the irresponsible and inflammatory remarks of some of my colleagues go unanswered."
She went on to say:
"It's not okay for elected officials to continue to peddle lies and conspiracy theories about widespread voter fraud and an allegedly-stolen presidential election. President-Elect Biden won the election. There are simply no credible allegations of fraud, and upwards of 60 cases filed alleging problems with the election have been heard and dismissed by the courts. There are Trump appointed U.S. Attorneys throughout the country who were authorized by former Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate and prosecute allegations of fraud. Not one case has been filed by any of these Trump appointees.
"It is not okay for my congressional colleagues to use their public platform to incite Americans to overturn our election, storm the U.S. Capitol or assault our democracy. It's called an insurrection and such seditious behavior must have consequences.
"It's not okay to use racial overtones to further spread deceptive narratives that perpetuate the lie that caused last week's violent events.
"Such lawmakers must be held accountable. Their words and actions do matter and their complicity in inciting the vicious attack on our democracy must not go unchecked. I am deeply and personally offended by the outrageous comments and every Alabamian that believes in our democracy should be, too."
Sewell was forced to shelter inside the Capitol after Trump supporters stormed the building, prompting the evacuation of some and a barricading of others as police tried to get control of an out-of-control siege.
Moore didn't answer APR's questions Sunday about those tweets directly, but his chief of staff sent APR a statement from Moore on Sunday afternoon.
"Lawlessness is not the answer to our nation's problems, and every person who acts unlawfully is responsible for their own actions and should be held accountable to the full extent of the law, whether that's Black Lives Matter, Antifa or Wednesday's rioters," Moore said in the statement.
Brooks was an early supporter of challenging the certification of election results, an action that pleased President Donald Trump and his allies seeking to overturn the election, and spoke to the crowd gathered near the Capitol before the attack.
"Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass," Brooks yelled into his microphone. After the riots began, Brooks tweeted an unfounded rumor alleging it was antifa who started the rioting.
The day after the attack, Brooks told an Alabama conservative talk radio host that he had no regrets over his speech prior to the violence, according to The Intercept, telling the host that there was "mounting evidence of fascist antifa's involvement in all of this."
The Federal Bureau of Investigations said on Friday that there was no evidence of antifa aiding pro-Trump supporters in the deadly attack.

Tunic, "Eye Contact"
Mike Mehalick
Loud and chaotic, sure, but underneath the crashing waves of sound and David Schallenberg's (guitar/vocals) gravel-flecked delivery is a certain meditative quality to the latest from Tunic. Rounded out by Rory Ellis (bass) and Sam Neal (drums), the Winnipeg-based trio crafts wildly energetic, unhinged aural landscapes that lock in on tight, hypnotic grooves that ride a certain tension before being shredded apart at the seams.
Tunic is now prepping to drop a new EP, Boss, with Impose premiering its latest single, "Eye Contact," today. Accompanied by a slow motion, single shot video, "Eye Contact" establishes a propulsive rhythmic bedrock that draws you in and allows you to lose yourself in the churning black sea of guitar squalls and noise.
"'Eye Contact' is the one odd ball song on Boss," shares Schallenberg. "It's the one song that is thematically different lyrically from the other three songs. It is sort of part two of our song 'Disappointment' from our past EP. It's a continuation of examining this extremely unsuccessful relationship I was in a few years ago. Hence why the video is similar to our video for 'Disappointment', a slow moving image that is slightly odd or unsettling that allows the viewer to listen to the song and not be to disrupted by the video."
Boss is out July 21st via self-release. Pre-order the 7″ here.
Tunic Tour Dates:
06/06 – Ottawa, ON @ Pressed
06/07 – Toronto, ON @ Smiling Buddha
06/09 – Montreal, QC @ Poisson Noir

Q: @RenderPage - Render a edit page I want to render a page but that page be a "edit" page. Something like this
@RenderPage("~/Views/Edit/25.cshtml")

But this doesn't work and probably i should pass the parameter "25" as a parameter, but so far without success. In my program I've got two tabs and both call(render) pages throw Ajax (Jqueryui - http://jqueryui.com/tabs/) and i would like to when i click in a tab he call the edit view with a specific id.
It's possible? How i should do that?

A: If you want some actions to be performed on click for the specific tab then i would suggest you should go with Ajax.
Have a look to jQuery.Ajax.
Or else you want it a pure http web request, then you can have certain query string to be passed on the same page when user clicks on the tab and load the content accordingly by identified the passed value.

A: To render tabs via ajax in asp.net mvc you can do it this way.
CSHTML:
Create tab control, each anchor in tab header uses different routevalues. Ofcourse you can link them to different actions of controller:

@Html.ActionLink("Tab1", "Edit", new { id = 25 })

@Html.ActionLink("Tab2", "Edit", new { id = 26 })

Controller, note that you are returning a partial view here which gets rendered into the tabcontrol:
    public ActionResult Edit(int id)
    {
        // You probably want to load the Model from the db with id param. I just write a message
        ViewBag.Message = id;

        return PartialView("Edit");
    }

My partialview Edit.cshtml:
Edit me @ViewBag.Message

Javascript, just create your tab control normally:
$("#tabs").tabs();

Generally if you want to render some partial view with parameters I'd personally go for
@Html.Action("Edit", "Controller", new {id=25})
