Amanda Madden: 6 Nazis Who Fought Back Against The Nazis (Cracked)
Support for the Nazis within Germany was far from universal, but, being famously not very nice guys, they didn't have a lot of reservations about coercing their own people. Even people who did sign up willingly often didn't support everything they saw, and at least a few would end up fighting like crazy to wreck the Nazi war machine from the inside. People like ...
Mark. was first and correct with:
I can remember people being upset by LBJ picking up his beagles by their
ears. He's the only president I can remember with beagles. Therefore I'm
going with Lyndon Johnson as the president with beagles named Him and Her.

The Sacramento Tax March wasn't as big or as enthusiastic as the Women's March. I hope people aren't tiring of resisting. #45 just defunded PP, which kept me and my husband healthy when we couldn't afford health insurance. Just when you think he can't sink to new lows, he proves you wrong. He is the worst.

And a Happy Easter to you! The two beagles Him and Her were owned by LBJ.

Yup, I got this one. That would be Lyndon Johnson, who was very fond of his hound dogs even if he did pull them up by their ears. I doubt there will be any controversy here as President Johnson was definitely not from Ohio. Did I mention I have little use for Ohio, especially Ohio State University? You can bundle the Cleveland Cavaliers in with that too.

Dwindling funds for scientific research could encourage scientists to cheat, a report released Friday by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine finds. Additionally, research misconduct is eating up precious funds even as they grow scarcer.
The report, "Fostering Integrity in Research," said the funding crunch could hamper progress as scientists skip protocols and arrive at faulty conclusions. Research misconduct, some of which was not detected for years, has led to an increase in the "number and percentage of research articles that are retracted and growing concern about low rates of reproducibility … [raising] questions about how the research enterprise can better ensure that investments in research produce reliable knowledge," Chairman Robert M. Nerem wrote in the report's preface.
The U.S. devoted 2.81 percent of gross domestic product to research and development in 2012, with the private sector contributing two-thirds of that. The bulk of government research funding goes to defense.
The report cites numerous instances of research misconduct, including falsified grant applications.

The second mosque in the United States led solely by women held its inaugural service in California on Friday, but unlike a Los Angeles congregation that opened two years ago, the new female-led Muslim house of worship in Berkeley is open to both genders.
The Qal'bu Maryam Women's Mosque "is a place for women to worship in the sanctuary, to not be hidden away in dank rooms," said Rabi'a Keeble, founder of the Berkeley mosque, whose name means "heart of Mary" in Arabic.
Many mosques around the world admit men and women, but most segregate the genders. At the Women's Mosque of America in Los Angeles, male worshippers over the age of 12 are excluded, making the new Berkeley mosque the first of its kind in the country.
"We uplift the female, and just as the Prophet loved women, we must follow in his footsteps and love ourselves and each other," she said.
For years, US cable operators got rich by offering fat "bundles" of hundreds of channels and raising prices regularly for television consumers.
Now the "skinny bundle" is disrupting that model with internet-delivered packages offering live and on-demand programs.
Google's YouTube TV is the latest to enter this market with its bundle of around 40 channels for $35 monthly, challenging slim packages from Sony's PlayStation Vue, Dish Network's Sling TV and AT&T's DirecTV Now.
These services offer easy interfaces like those of on-demand services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, let viewers digitally store programs in the internet "cloud," and toss in a limited selection of live channels to sate news and sports or other interests.
Skinny offerings are aimed at young viewers and "cord cutters" loath to pay $100 or more to be force-fed hundreds of channels in hefty bundles and accustomed to streaming shows they want, when they desire.
A dinosaur whose remains were excavated over a period of three decades between 1975 and 2005 has finally been christened. As is evident from its name, Moabosaurus utahensis was found in the vicinity of Moah - Utah's "gold mine for dinosaur bones."
"We're honoring the city of Moab and the State of Utah because they were so supportive of our excavation efforts over the decades it's taken us to pull the animal out of the ground," Brooks Britt, a professor of geology at Utah's Brigham Young University and lead author of a paper describing the discovery, said in a statement .
The 32-foot-long herbivore belongs to a group of herbivorous dinosaurs known as sauropods - a group that includes giants like the Brontosaurus. What distinguishes it from its cousin is the age it existed in. The fossil remains show that Moabosaurus lived about 125 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period when the global diversity of sauropods had already dropped.
Analysis of the remains suggests Moabosaurus was closely related to sauropods like Euhelopus and Brachiosaurus.
Donald Trump (R-Crooked) took to Twitter early Sunday morning to wish a "Happy Easter to everyone!" He then took swipes at the tax day marches around the country that featured thousands of protesters demanding the president release his tax returns.
"I did what was an almost an impossible thing to do for a Republican-easily won the Electoral College!" Trump tweeted. "Now Tax Returns are brought up again?"
"Someone should look into who paid for the small organized rallies yesterday," he added. "The election is over!"
Throughout his young presidency, Trump has frequently rehashed campaign-related controversies that other presidents would have long let go. Earlier this month, Trump knocked his former rival for one from the Democratic primary debates. ("Did Hillary Clintonever apologize for receiving the answers to the debate?" he tweeted. "Just asking!")
The organizers of the Tax March demonstrations said more than 120,000 protesters in nearly 200 cities participated in Saturday's rallies - including more than 25,000 in Washington, D.C., alone.

Robinson was the first black man to play in the major leagues, ending six decades of racial segregation, and a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He is the first to be honored with a statue at Dodger Stadium. It will be unveiled Saturday, April 15, 2017, on the 70th anniversary of his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

A federal official says crews in Alaska are ready to shut down an oil well that is misting natural gas on the frozen North Slope, but officials say it's too unstable for responders to get close.
The Environmental Protection Agency says a crack in a BP wellhead near Deadhorse sent up mist of crude oil Friday before it froze over and an initial leak stopped.
A response team made up of state and federal energy officials and BP personnel was not able to secure the well Friday night or Saturday due to safety concerns.
Two leaks have been identified on the well, one near the top and one further down the well assembly, BP said. The upper leak was misting oil in conjunction with leaking natural gas, but activation of a surface safety valve stopped the release.
It's unclear how much has vented, but nearby workers have been evacuated and native Alaskan villages dozens of miles away have been notified.
As we get closer and closer to create artificial intelligence that can think and reason in ways that mimic a human brain it's becoming increasingly clear that allowing a machine mind to learn from humans is a very bad idea. We've seen examples of it in the past, but a new study on AI biases reveals that not only does training an artificial brain create biases, but those leanings reinforce many societal issues regarding race and gender that plague humanity today.
The study, which was conducted by scientists at Princeton University and published in the journal Science, sought to determine not just if the behavior of an AI exhibited specific biases, but whether the machine learning systems that determine the outcome inherently lean one way or the other. To do this, the team trained an AI using standard datasets that are popular choices for machine learning. These kinds of sets include millions of words and are often gathered from many sources, including the internet.
The AI studies the words, how their used, and what words they're used in association with, in order to provide natural language responses and answers in a way that we can understand. It also, as it turns out, learns some of our more unfortunate quirks.
After training the AI, scientists tested how it associates various words with others. For example, "flower" is more likely to be associated with "pleasant" than "weapon" is. That, of course, makes perfect sense. However, the trained AI also had a habit of associating typically caucasian-sounding names with other things that it considered to be "pleasant," rather than African-American names. The AI also shied away from pairing female pronouns with mathematics, and instead often associated them with artistic terms.
This is obviously a huge issue since, in the name of creating AI that sound and behave more human, some of the standard training materials being used carry with them some of the worst parts of us. It's a very interesting problem, and one that you can bet will get a lot of attention now that evidence seems to be mounting.

Knee-high tufts of grass dot the streets of Hardwick, a rural neighborhood with a few dozen homes hemmed in by vineyards and walnut and almond orchards in California's agriculture-rich San Joaquin Valley.
Nearby, the Kings River - swollen with rainwater and Sierra Nevada snowmelt - meanders through fields. Water is abundant in the river but it may not last.
Despite winter storms that have turned much of California's parched landscape to vibrant green, the drought has yet to loosen its grip on thousands of residents in the valley. Many people must still use water stored in large tanks in their yard to wash dishes and bathe.
Scientists at Stanford University and NASA say excessive pumping of wells during the drought has tapped out some underground sources of water that will never recover.
The drought emergency remains in effect in Kings, Fresno, Tulare and Tuolumne counties, even after one of California's wettest winters in years prompted officials to declare an end to the historic, five-year dry spell in nearly all of the nation's most populous state.
The eighth installment in the "Fast and the Furious" is on the path to becoming the biggest worldwide debut of all time, besting both "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and "Jurassic World."
Universal Pictures on Sunday estimated that "The Fate of the Furious" would earn a record $532.5 million worldwide over the holiday weekend, thanks to a particularly robust showing in 63 territories, including China.
"Beauty and the Beast" crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide this weekend. Rounding out the top five were "Smurfs: The Lost Village" with $6.5 million and "Going in Style" with $6.4 million.
The summer movie season really kicks into high gear in a few weeks when "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" goes into orbit on May 5.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1."The Fate of the Furious," $100.2 million ($432.3 million international).
2."The Boss Baby," $15.5 million ($36.8 million international).
