TheBlaze has received a curious video sequence showing a spectator
from the hours leading up to the Boston Bombings that we've forwarded
to the FBI. You can view that video and our thoughts here .A local
Boston news station took to the air on Tuesday with a set of pictures
that it says could have clues about the second bomb to go off at the
Boston Marathon -- pictures it says the FBI is looking at.
Additionally, the outlet is showing pictures from a viewer suggesting
odd behavior from someone in the crowd. WHDH-TV was sent pictures from
a viewer who captured the scene of the second bomb both before the
explosion and after. Here's how the outlet frames them: In the first
picture you can see a bag next to a mailbox and up against a barricade
along the marathon route. In the second, which we have blurred because
it is very graphic, there is no sign of the bag. The viewer who took
the pictures says there may be an hour or more between when the first
and second pictures were taken.Another set of pictures sent to the
station are questioning the reaction of a man seen with shredded
clothes running from the scene of the first explosion. The man who
sent them wonders if he's actually fleeing the scene: But caution is
needed. It's hard to know exactly how anyone will act when faced with
unimaginable circumstances -- and even harder to say how one should.
WHDH-TV talked to the man who took the pictures and he admitted the
reaction of the man in the pictures could be explained as simply the
result of panic.

Justin Bieber's Anne Frank Comment: 50 Cent Defends Him While Mark Wahlberg Suggests A Vacation!
JB has been getting a LOT of shade for writing in the Anne Frank House
guest book, "Hopefully she would have been a belieber," but he also
has some heavy back up! Piers Morgan , Chloe Moretz , and now 50 Cent
belieb there was nothing wrong with Justin's hope that Anne Frank
would've been a fan if she lived to hear some of his hit songs. As 50
walked the red carpet for the premiere of Pain & Gain, he spilled:
"She probably would have been [a belieber]." Ok, ok we get it. It is
VERY possible Anne Frank could've been a belieber if she wasn't busy
hiding from Nazi soldiers. Piers made a good point when he said
Justin's comment made his young fans aware of the iconic girl, but we
think it is time to move on from this joke! …and Mark Wahlberg agrees!
During the same premiere, Mark gave the Biebz some GREAT advice.

Pentagon chief calls Boston attack 'act of terror '
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Tuesday that the
deadly twin bombings at the Boston Marathon finish line amounted to
"cruel act of terror" and vowed that those who are responsible will be
brought to justice. Testifying on Capitol Hill, Hagel was the first
Obama administration official to refer to terror or terrorism after
the bombings Monday killed three and wounded more than 140 people
Monday afternoon. President Barack Obama, in his own brief statement
at the White House late Monday, made no mention of terrorists or
terrorism as a possible cause of the bombings. A White House official
speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still
unfolding did say the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism.
Hagel said any event in which explosive devices are used is clearly an
act of terror. "As the president said yesterday, we still do not know
who did this or why and a thorough investigation will have to
determine whether it was planned and carried by a terrorist group,
foreign or domestic," Hagel told the House Appropriations defense
subcommittee. "It's important not to jump to conclusions before we
have all the facts, but as the White House said last night, 'Any event
with multiple explosive devices, as this appears to be, is clearly an
act of terror and will be approached as an act of terror.'" Hagel
mentioned the Pentagon's connection to the race, with many in the
defense community participating in the race and commended the quick
work of the Massachusetts National Guard to assist after the
explosions. Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, also praised the National Guard. Dempsey was testifying with
Hagel. Hagel said the thoughts and prayers of those at the Pentagon
are with the people of Boston. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
also referenced terrorism. "You can describe it in a lot of different
ways, but it was a terrorist attack of some sort. ... There's just not
enough information at this time," Boehner told reporters Tuesday at a
news conference. "We just don't know enough about it, but I have no
doubt that we will. ... The president and I had this conversation last
evening. He'd like to know more, I'd like to know more. The American
people would like to know more. Unfortunately we don't, but I am
confident that we are going to get to the bottom of this." At the
House hearing, Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-Fla., pressed Hagel about
Pentagon plans to disband one of the civil support teams that
responded to the attack in Boston. Young said Congress was notified in
a March 29 letter that the two teams, one based in New York, the other
in Florida, would be disestablished. Hagel insisted that the teams
would remain and said the budget proposal that the administration
submitted last week included money for the teams.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0: Solid, if unspectacular
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) If the iPad mini was Apple's response to the small
tablet craze, then the Galaxy Note 8.0 is Samsung's rebuttal. The
light, slim tablet sports some impressive specifications that slightly
edge out the iPad mini: a 1.6 GHz quad-core Exynos processor, 2
gigabytes of RAM and a 1280x800 pixel display.It's not the impressive
specs that make the Galaxy Note 8.0 stand out, however. The big sell
is productivity, with Samsung pushing its pressure- sensitive "S-Pen"
stylus and dual-window support, allowing you to run two apps
simultaneously. With a stylus and multiple apps running at the same
time, Samsung believes you can regain some of speed and efficiency you
get from a laptop.

Obama , calling attack 'terror ,' shifts to response
Washington (CNN) - The bomb attacks at the finish line of Monday's
Boston Marathon were a "heinous and cowardly act" that the FBI is
investigating as an act of terrorism, President Barack Obama said
Tuesday. "Any time bombs are used to target civilians, it is an act of
terrorism," Obama said, adding that it remained unclear who carried
out the attack and why. It was the first time the president used the
word "terror" to refer to the deadly bombs. Later in the day, Vice
President Joe Biden vowed to "get to the bottom" of Monday's terror
attack, which left three dead and scores wounded. "We don't have any
hard information yet," Biden said on his way to an event on Capitol
Hill. "But I can assure we will find out who did it and bring them to
justice." Asked whether there was a sense among investigators of
whether the attack originated from a foreign or domestic perpetrator,
Biden said, "Not yet." Obama, making his second formal statement
following Monday's blasts, said said investigators do not yet know
"who carried out this attack or why, whether it was planned and
executed by a terrorist organization foreign or domestic or was the
act of a malevolent individual." President Barack Obama receives an
update on the explosions that occurred in Boston, in the Oval Office,
April 16, 2013. Seated, from left, are: Homeland Security Secretary
Janet Napolitano; Tony Blinken, Deputy National Security Advisor; Jake
Sullivan, National Security Advisor to the Vice President; Attorney
General Eric Holder; Lisa Monaco, Assistant to the President for
Homeland Security and Counterterrorism; Chief of Staff Denis
McDonough; and FBI Director Robert Mueller. (Official White House

emerging, Obama delivered a brief statement that avoided the use of
the word "terror." He said then he had ordered the "full resources" of
the federal government to respond to the bombing. "Make no mistake, we
will get to the bottom of this, and we will find out who did this,
we'll find out why they did this," he said. Any individuals or groups
responsible for the "senseless" bombing, he added, will "feel the full
weight of justice." Officials in Washington, who entered the week
prepared for battle over immigration and gun control, shifted focus
Tuesday to the aftermath of the deadly terror bombing. Obama ordered
the flag above the White House lowered to half-staff, while inside he
was huddling with top advisers, receiving the latest details on the
investigation into the attack. CNN spotted Vice President Joe Biden,
FBI Director Robert Mueller, Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano headed into the White House
Tuesday morning. Other events on his schedule – including a meeting
with Sens. John McCain and Chuck Schumer on immigration reform – were
still slated to go forward. In the afternoon, Obama will honor last
year's NASCAR sprint cut champion Brad Keselowski during a ceremony on
the South Lawn. Cabinet members, along with national security and
counterterrorism staff, will convene Tuesday evening to brief the
president at the White House, though an official said this wasn't a
full Cabinet meeting. Other events in Washington were pushed aside
after Monday's bombing. A planned press conference unveiling of the
Senate's immigration bill was postponed, though the legislation was
still expected to be filed Tuesday. Another top piece of legislation –
gun control – had already been delayed in the Senate as supporters
worked to win over more votes. And two congressmen, Reps. Pete King,
R-New York, and Mike Thomas, D- California, introduced a background
checks bill identical to the Senate measure that was unveiled last
week. But a call-in event on guns sponsored by Organizing for Action,
a political group formed from Obama's presidential campaign, was
scrapped.
