CHARLIE SHEEN MY MAYBACH IS FIT FOR THE POPE ... But Could Be Yours

0212-sheen-maybach-tmz-ebay-01Charlie Sheen's unloading an old Maybach on eBay -- and Prez Obama and the Pope might think about bidding because the whip's BULLETPROOF ... and not cheap.
Charlie's black 2009 Maybach Landaulet 62S was just listed for a mere $200. Before you get too excited, the buy-it-now price is much higher -- $325,000. 
Still, it could go for way less than a new one. Base price for a Maybach 62 (built to order, of course) is $400k.
0212-charlie-sheen-maybach-ebay-01Charlie's reason for dumping the whip is cryptic -- "Done dodging bullets. An expired fear mongering caucus lost their vote."
What's far more clear ... after 7 years in service of Charlie, the thing's gotta be partyproof, as well as bulletproof.

Janet Jackson Resurfaces with Her "Sweetie" Following Mystery Illness

Janet Jackson Resurfaces with Her "Sweetie" Following Mystery Illness
Janet Jackson fans, you can all relax for a bit -- Janet’s on the mend, and raring to go back on tour!
The iconic songstress, one of three singers to have a Billboard #1 album in each of the last four decades, posted an adorable photo to Facebook on Friday, in which she can be seen beaming alongside her husband, Qatari business magnate Wissam Al Mana.
"Took a break from tour prep to attend 10th Anniversary of Lazarides Gallery n [sic] London with my sweetie... See you soon," she captioned the cute snapshot.
The mention of tour prep ought to be exciting news to Janet’s acolytes, inasmuch as it follows a string of axed concert dates over the past few months.
Last October Janet tweeted, "Hey you guys, I must rest my vocal chords. Doctor's orders... Will be rescheduling Salt Lake and Denver."
Then, on Christmas Eve, she pushed back her entire Unbreakable Tour, named after her new album "Unbreakable," until "the spring."

Did Raven-Symone Really Get "Slapped" to Make Room for Kendall Jenner on Red Carpet? Watch Video of the Moment Right Here!

Image result for raven symone
Raven-Symone says she was "slapped upside the chest" twice during a red carpet interview this week -- after a producer wanted her to get out of the way so they could talk to Kendall Jenner instead.
But video of the moment in question tells a slightly different story.
toofab has exclusively obtained video of "The View" host's chat with StarShop App reporter Alicia Quarles -- and, while she's definitely booted in lieu of the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star, it wasn't quite as hostile as Raven made it sound.
In the clip above, we see Symone and Quarles talking about beauty must-haves, as Kendall lingers in the background. Before Raven's even allowed to answer, she gets cut off by a producer just off-camera. "Alicia," the woman interjects, before motioning to Jenner.
"Oh, that's O.K., someone's more important, so I'll let them go ahead," the former "Cosby" star quips, before you hear someone else say, "Sorry, we're gonna go with Kendall."             It's embarrassing for Raven, sure, but here's how she described the incident on "The View" earlier this week:

The US Navy's 'ghost hunter' to set sail: 132 foot long robo-boat will scour seas for silent enemy submarines for months at a time - without a single person on board

The first 132 foot long ship, officially named 'The Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel' will take to the water on April 7th. It could be used for counter-mine missions, reconnaissance and resupply.The US Navy is set to unleash an army of 'ghost boats' to scour the coasts for enemy submarines.
They hope to end the growing threat of quiet, diesel powered enemy submarines entering American waters undetected.

THE SILENT ENEMY SUBS

Diesel-electric submarines, with their nearly-noiseless engines, are incredibly difficult to track from afar. 
They're also cheap at $200 million to $300 million apiece, making them affordable to the likes of Iran, which claims to have a fleet of 17. 
Darpa director Dr. Arati Prabhakar and deputy director Dr. Steve Walker revealed the craft.
'Imagine an unmanned surface vessel following all the laws of the sea on its own,' Walker told media, 'and operating with manned surface and unmanned underwater vehicles.'
The robot boats will go to sea for us to three months at a time.
It will be christened in April in Portland, Oregon, and then begin to demonstrate its long-range capabilities over 18 months in cooperation with the Office of Naval Research and the Space and Naval Systems Warfare Command. 
We think the real cost savings will be in operating this vessel at sea compared to how we operate vessels today,' he added. 
'It could be used for counter-mine missions, reconnaissance and resupply.'
The project began in 2010, when the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, announced that they were building a 132-foot autonomous boat to track quiet, diesel-powered submarines.

Saudi Arabia is set to move fighter jets to its base in Turkey in preparation for a possible bombing campaign against ISIS jihadists in Syria.

Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu confirmed the potential plan and suggested Turkey were also considering military options against ISIS.
'If there is a strategy (against ISIS) then Turkey and Saudi Arabia could enter into a ground operation,' Mr Cavusoglu said after the Munich Security Conference.

'Saudi Arabia is also sending planes to Turkey, to (the base of) Incirlik,' he said.
'They (Saudi officials) came, did a reconnaissance of the base. At the moment it is not clear how many planes will come.'
The news comes as two Syrian rebel commanders told Reuters they had been sent 'excellent quantities' of ground-to-ground Grad missiles by foreign backers.
The missiles have a range of 20 km (12 miles) and are expected to be used to confront the Russian-backed offensive.

'New cold war inches closer' after Turkey bombs targets in Syria just hours after Russia's chilling threat

Vladimir Putin, Syria
'A new cold war?' Vladimir Putin is furious with Turkey's action in Syria
Turkey's military has provoked Russian president Vladimir Putin by bombing targets in Syria - just hours after the Kremlin warned that such action could lead to a "new cold war".
The country's army targeted Kurdish militia near the town of Azaz in northern Syria.
A Turkish government source confirmed the attack, despite the Kermlin's warning earlier today that Turkey and Saudi Arabia's proposed anti-ISIS action in the country could lead to a major world conflict.
The source said: "The Turkish Armed Forces fired shells at PYD positions in the Azaz area" referring to the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), which Turkey regards as a terrorist organisation.
Earlier today the Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said he was fed up of Russia being accused of war crimes in Syria.

Cancer drug could prevent Alzheimer's and dementia as scientists announce major breakthrough

A woman comforting a man
Hope: The new breakthrough could help prevent Alzheimer's disease from developing
Scientists tonight hailed a major breakthrough in the war on dementia after discovering a cancer drug can prevent the disease.
The stunning development could pave the way for millions of Brits to be given "neurostatins" to slash their risk of Alzheimer's as they get older.
University of Cambridge researchers hope their findings will enable GPs to offer the drug like statins are prescribed to prevent heart problems.
Around 17 million adults - two in every five - are already eligible for cholesterol-busting statins.
And experts said similar numbers could be offered pills to protect against dementia, after finding a cancer treatment can halt the development of the disease.
Incredibly, they claim all Brits over the age of 30 could benefit.
The symptoms of Alzheimer's are caused by clumps of deformed proteins called amyloid in the brain. 

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are going to war as she tries to protect her 'firewall'

AP_617541352129
Hillary Clinton's campaign has brought out the firepower quickly after her crushing loss to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) on Tuesday night in the New Hampshire Democratic primary.
"When you match up the record of Hillary Clinton with the record of Bernie Sanders, it simply is no comparison," Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) said Wednesday in a campaign conference call.
"Hillary Clinton has been at the dance from the very beginning of her career. [Sanders] is a new arrival at the dance. And for many of us, it simply lends no credibility for some of the things that are now being said at the twilight of his political career."

I volunteered to fight in Syria … and ended up in a Kurdish prison

Peshmerga training operation inherent resolve
I had an opportunity to chat with a friend of mine, Red, who went to fight for the Kurdish Peshmerga, but ended up incarcerated after an unsuccessful attempt to cross the border into Syria.
SOFREP: So can you walk me through how it went down? Your arrest, I mean.
Red: Well, we were passed off near the border on the Syrian side to two guys in Pesh uniforms.
From there, we drove to the border, which we were told we would be able to get across just fine, so I assumed we’d be going to the YBS (Sinjar Resistance Units) base near Shengal.
Instead, they ended up taking us right to the legitimate border crossing. At that point, we were stopped like every other vehicle, but we had Westerners in the vehicle so they asked who we were, at which point the Pesh guys gave us right up and said they had no idea who we were.

Teacher shoots dead six colleagues at school in Saudi Arabia...


A teacher in southern Saudi Arabia opened fire on colleagues today, Thursday, Feb. 11, killing at least six people and wounding two.

The brief reports on the state television channel’s website and Twitter account did not elaborate or offer a reason for the shooting at an education department building. It quoted an unnamed police spokesman for the information and said the suspected shooter was in custody. 

State TV posted a still photograph that showed ambulances gathered outside the building where the shooting took place in Jizan province. 
 
Mass shootings are rare in the kingdom, though Saudi Arabia has faced a series of recent attacks by ISIL militants.
