Human remains washed ashore Wednesday, as officials continued their search for seven Marines and four soldiers in waters off the Florida Panhandle, where a military helicopter had crashed during a training exercise.

We have confirmed that we have had some human remains wash ashore in the area where our search and rescue team have begun a larger scale operation,AndrewBourland, a spokesman for the Eglin Air Force Base, told The Washington Post.

Bourland also said that debris from the aircraft had been located.

The Army UH-60 Black Hawk is believed to have gone down in the water and foggy conditions were reported in the area at the time of the crash, though it is too soon to say what might have caused the mishap.

At a Wednesday afternoon news conference, Maj. Gen. GlennH.Curtis, the Adjutant General for the Louisiana National Guard, said the Black Hawk pilots had thousands of hours of flight experience and were instructor pilots, which indicates that they were experienced and qualified enough to train other pilots.

According to Curtis, it is one of the highest designations pilots in the Army can receive.

A second Black Hawk that participated in the exercise returned to base after take-off due to the weather conditions, Curtis said.That helicopter landed safely and all personnel on board were accounted for.

One of them started to take off and realized that theweather was a condition thenturned around and came back, said Curtis, who spoke from Hammond, La.

According to a Pentagon official who spoke anonymously to the Associated Pressnearly 12 hours after the craft was reported missing, all 11 service members are presumed dead.

Techno pioneer Derrick May and the future sounds of yesteryear

Posted: at 7:40 pm

When the thump-and-sparkle of techno first escaped Detroit in the mid-80s, it wasnt just a new beat to step to. It was a form of time travel an invitation to step into a future where mysterious machines would compel us to shake our bodies in mysterious ways.

Derrick May was there from the jump. Strings of Life, the epic techno track he released in 1987 under the pseudonym Rhythim Is Rhythim, is essentially the Stairway to Heaven of techno music. And nearly 30 years later, May is still gracing nightclubs across the planet, proffering his vintage futurism in a way thats turned the time-travel of techno into something delightfully wobbly.

Such blurry, back-to-the-futuristic sensations arent uncommon at Flash, a nightclub on the margins of the Districts busy U Street corridor, which regularly hosts veteran DJs of all stripes. The crowds are diverse, too: Stylish old-schoolers and fresh-faced party people all move to the same beat, eagerly waiting for yesterdays tomorrow to arrive.

Saturdayat Flash, 645 Florida Ave. NW.(Doors open at 8 p.m.)202-827-8791. http://www.flashdc.com. $10-$15.

2015 is proving to be another deadly year for free speech

Posted: at 7:54 am

There's no question that free speech has been under attack across the globe in 2015.

The year started off with the mass killing of editorial staff at the Paris headquarters of satirical newspaperCharlie Hebdo. Most recently, Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was shot dead near the Kremlin in Moscow.

Globally, at least 17 journalists have been killed in 2015, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

The trend appears to be continuing from previous years.

"The total number of deaths in 2014 demonstrates the sustained level of risk to journalists over the past decade," CPJ's news director Shazdeh Omari wroteof last year's numbers. "The past three years are the most deadly period CPJ has recorded."

From social media censorship to crackdowns on political dissent, governments and militant groups alikecontinue to target voices they disagree with. Writers, cartoonists, photographers, filmmakers, bloggers, protesters and opposition figures can all become targets.

Here are the main incidents that have already made headlines in the first months of 2015.

France

On Jan. 7, 12 people, most of them editorial staff, were gunned down at and near the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for the shootings, which were carried out by brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi. A third gunman and friend of the Kouachis, Amedy Coulibaly, killed four hostages at a kosher market two days later in what appeared to be a related attack. Video later emerged that showed Coulibaly declaring allegiance to the Islamic State.

The string of killings amounted to the worst terror attack on French soil in 50 years. The assault on Charlie Hebdo was widely seen as targeting free speech; the weekly paper is known for running offensive and provocative content, including depictions of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.
