Air Jordan 2.0 Black/Varsity Red-Green

The age of Air Max infused Air Jordans is upon us. With the Air Jordan 2.0 White/Black-Varsity Red scheduled to drop this weekend, hype is slowly building around these updated classics. Today, another colorway of the Air Jordan 2.0 has surfaced. Faux snakeskin, suede and tumbled leather are fused for a premium one-of-a-kind look, while red and green accents on the lace eyelets, midsole piping, tongue liner, and branding provide a “Gucci” like effect.

Patriot Act Extension Signed By Obama

Obama currently in France, the White House said the president would use an autopen machine that holds a pen and signs his actual signature.

WASHINGTON — Congress on Thursday passed a four-year extension of post-Sept. 11 powers to search records and conduct roving wiretaps in pursuit of terrorists. Votes taken in rapid succession in the Senate and House came after lawmakers rejected attempts to temper the law enforcement powers to ensure that individual liberties are not abused.


The measure would add four years to the legal life of roving wiretaps – those authorized for a person rather than a communications line or device – of court-ordered searches of business records and of surveillance of non-American "lone wolf" suspects without confirmed ties to terrorist groups. The roving wiretaps and access to business records are small parts of the USA Patriot Act enacted after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. But unlike most of the act, which is permanent law, those provisions must be renewed periodically because of concerns that they could be used to violate privacy rights. The same applies to the "lone wolf" provision, which was part of a 2004 intelligence law.


"The Patriot Act has been used improperly again and again by law enforcement to invade Americans' privacy and violate their constitutional rights," said Laura W. Murphy, director of the ACLU Washington legislative office. But the ACLU also points out that court approvals for business record access jumped from 21 in 2009 to 96 last year, and the organization contends the Patriot Act has blurred the line between investigations of actual terrorists and those not suspected of doing anything wrong.

Satellite 'helps find 17 Egypt pyramids'

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Archaeologists have uncovered as many as 17 buried pyramids in Egypt with the help of NASA satellite imagery, according to a documentary to be aired by the BBC on Monday. Led by US researcher Sarah Parcak at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the team has already confirmed two of the suspected pyramids through excavation work.


The BBC, which funded the research, released the findings this week ahead of a broadcast describing the technique and what was uncovered. The team also found more than 1,000 tombs and 3,000 ancient settlements, according to the report. Infrared images, which were taken by satellites orbiting 700 kilometers (435 miles) above the Earth, revealed the below-ground structures. The satellites used powerful cameras that can "pinpoint objects less than one meter (three feet) in diameter on the Earth's surface," the report said. 

The documentary, "Egypt's Lost Cities," airs Monday on BBC One and will also be shown on the Discovery channel in the United States.
