clinton <sep> ( cnn ) hillary clinton is finally announcing her candidacy for the 2016 presidential election . although she has watched her standing in the polls sag in recent months , there is likely to be a boost in the days that follow the announcement . for democrats , there is ample reason to be excited about clinton 's run for the presidency . she is certainly one of the strongest candidates in many decades . she brings to the table extensive political and policy experience , a combination of skills that is often lacking . she has been through some of the roughest partisan wars and emerged stronger than ever before . she has a keen sense about the nature of the modern news media , how to use it to her advantage and how to survive scandal frenzies . she is a hardened , tough partisan who will not shy away from republican attack . americans have many positive memories of clinton name , given the booming economy of the late 1990s during bill clinton 's presidency . if hillary clinton puts together an effective campaign , she could be unbeatable in the democratic primaries as well as in the general election . however , during the buildup to her final decision , some of her weaknesses have also been exposed . clinton does n't want to end up like vice president al gore in 2000 . although he did relatively well in the final election ( with many americans believing that he did actually defeat george w. bush ) he did n't generate much energy once the campaign started . although he too was touted as a perfect ' candidate who was the ideal person for the job , something seemed stiff and inauthentic when he actually hit the trail . he seemed to freeze when the television cameras were rolling . gore had trouble connecting with voters , and he seemed to remake his image constantly . his biggest asset ended up being that he was viewed as the inevitable nominee , rather than what he actually stood for . clinton must avoid following gore 's path . she suffered this fate in the 2008 primaries and ca n't afford to do so again . she needs to do more than rest on the perception that her candidacy is inevitable and on her record of experience . that is not enough . more important is for her to put forth an exciting vision about what she would stand for in the white house . voters thirst for signs of greatness when they pick their presidents , even if they are savvy enough to understand that the reality of a polarized washington will probably limit her ability to achieve bold change . a recent story in the washington post suggests that her advisers are aware of this potential liability . after the announcement , they are going to avoid big rallies and events and instead concentrate on smaller events where she will meet with voters directly in states such as iowa and new hampshire . clinton also will have to contend with doubts about her authenticity . in his first day on the campaign trail , sen. rand paul immediately tapped into these concerns by raising questions about whether she could be trusted . that question has dogged the clintons ever since they came onto the national political scene in the late 1980s . their greatest virtue , their immense skills as politicians , has often come back to haunt them . bill clinton was attacked as slick willie ' by members of both parties for the perception that he would say anything to win and hillary clinton has faced similar criticism . when she tried to distance herself from her vote for the use of force in iraq , many democrats did n't buy her critique of president george w. bush 's foreign policies and went for barack obama instead . when she conducted her listening tour ' of new york before running for the senate , many voters saw it as a manufactured effort to hide the fact she was running for office as an outsider . when she explained that there was nothing to the recent stories about her use of a private email server rather than her state department email , some felt that even if the story was relatively minor it indicated that she was n't always telling us what she was really about . even if she is n't hiding anything , she often gives that appearance . during the next few months , clinton will also have to connect with her party 's base . the ongoing speculation about sen. elizabeth warren of massachusetts has suggested that the most active part of the democratic party is not that enthused with clinton 's candidacy . while they will probably vote for her , they are not very motivated and do n't trust that she will stand for democratic values . she will need to address these concerns , not through her style but through her agenda . voters will want to hear her talking about issues such as tougher financial regulation and policies to diminish economic inequality as well as her positions on race and policing . she will also need to make clear that she has heard voters on being too hawkish about going to war and give clear indications about how she would handle a nuclear agreement with iran . clinton will also have to contend with the gender bias that still exists in the electorate at large . without any doubt she will be subject to questions and comments -- about her appearance , for instance -- that wo n't be aimed at male candidates . part of her candidacy is itself an effort to break down these remaining vestiges of political sexism . but the struggle will be tough . finally , and this relates to the last challenge , clinton will have to contend with her husband . to be sure he can be an immense force on the campaign trail , one of the most compelling democrats of our generation . but he can also be liability . as she learned in 2008 , bill clinton is not always easy to control . when he speaks his mind , as he did in dismissive comments about obama 's candidacy , it can often work against her . the fund-raising records of the clinton foundation will also raise questions about conflict of interest , and ongoing stories about his personal life , as was the case when monica lewinsky returned to the media a few months ago , could re-emerge on the campaign trail . whether that is fair or not is beside the point : everything is fair game on the modern campaign trail . hillary clinton has the potential to be a hugely successful presidential candidate . but she and her campaign team will need to address the multiple questions and weaknesses that have become clear in recent months . | clinton also needs to convince voters of her authenticity , zelizer says |

eric holder <sep> fbi director robert mueller acknowledged the law enforcement agency uses drone aircraft in the united states for surveillance in certain difficult cases . mueller told the senate judiciary committee on wednesday that drones are used by the fbi in a very , very minimal way and very seldom . ' he did not say how many unmanned surveillance vehicles ( uavs ) the fbi has or how often they have been used . but a law enforcement official told cnn the fbi has used them a little more than a dozen times but did not say when that started . the official said drones are useful in hostage and barricade situations because they operate more quietly and are less visible than traditional aircraft such as helicopters . the fbi said it used a uav earlier this year to monitor the situation where a boy was held hostage in a bunker in alabama . bureau spokesman paul bresson said their use allows us to learn critical information that otherwise would be difficult to obtain without introducing serious risk to law enforcement personnel . ' bresson said the aircraft can only be used to perform surveillance on stationary subjects and the fbi must first get approval from the federal aviation administration to fly in a very confined geographic area . ' surveillance fallout mueller 's comments come as the obama administration grapples with political and other fallout from the public disclosure of top-secret surveillance programs , which has triggered new debate over reach of national security vs. privacy rights . national security and law enforcement officials have defended national security agency telephone and e-mail surveillance of overseas communications as an effective tool in fighting terror . president barack obama has assured americans the government is not listening to their phone conversations or reading their e-mail . but sen. charles grassley , an iowa republican , asked mueller whether the fbi had guidelines for using drones that would consider the privacy impact on american citizens .

' last month , paul introduced legislation to prevent unwarranted government intrusion ' by drones . the bill proposes that law enforcement officers be prohibited from using drones to gather surveillance or collect evidence without a warrant , unless there is an imminent danger to life or a high risk of a terrorist attack . the measure also makes an exception so that drones can be used to patrol the nation 's borders . the senate has not taken up paul 's proposal . a similar one was previously introduced in the house . drone use more common unmanned drone use is becoming more common in the united states although it is not lawful in many cases . the faa forecasts some 10,000 civilian drones will be in use in the united states within five years , including those for law enforcement and commercial purposes . amie stepanovich , of the electronic privacy information center , has previously said law enforcement should not use drones as an alternative to police patrols . she said that they should be used for specific operations and that congress should pass a law requiring legal permission . because they are cheaper to use than helicopters , unmanned aircraft can be used to monitor crops and livestock , look at damage to buildings and for other uses . the faa recently announced plans to create six drone test sites around the country . | sen. grassley seeks answers from attorney general eric holder on fbi drones |

microcrystallogeny <sep> ( cnn ) -- it 's being billed as lego for adults ' and could mean your fondness for construction toys may no longer be just a guilty pleasure . the new robotics kit created by china-based makeblock provides all you need to relive your childhood , with nearly 100 lego-compatible mechanical and electronic components . but this time around you 're building robots for real , assembling modules that can create walking spider robots , beverage bots , or even your very own wall-e. ' makeblock is an aluminum version of lego bricks , ' explains makeblock founder jasen wang . like lego , parts can connect to each other easily and flexibly , but you do n't need nuts to make the connections , since we have a clever threaded slot design . ' all the pieces slot together in a construction process designed to be easy and intuitive , says wang . we 've done some work to make the electronics and software more friendly to beginners . we use uniform modular connectors with color tags to help you make the right connections , and we plan to have a smartphone app to let beginners interact with their robots without any programming . ' read : liquid air future fuels garage inventor construction toys like lego capture the imagination of children and adults alike , says uk psychologist jon sutton . as children , lego taught us to follow rules , but also to discard them , ' says sutton , who has written about the psychology of lego . lego is a simple , uniform , non-representational material that can be transformed into the most complex , individual objects representing the wildest of fantasy worlds . ' the fantasy world of play is increasingly being harnessed in education across the board , not just in robotics , says jeff schwarting , founder of superfunner , an organization that seeks to aid education through gamification . ' there 's a growing belief that play may be tied to learning -- but it 's wrong . play is learning , ' says schwarting . play provides a safe environment which embraces trial and error , eliminating fear of failure and encouraging experimentation , which leads to greater understanding of how things work and greater confidence in one 's ability to confront challenges . ' makeblock appeals to this sense of creativity , but it 's not just analogous to lego , it is lego-compatible , says wang . the basic hole distance in our platform is the same as the basic dimensions in lego , both are 8 mm , so it 's possible to attach lego blocks to makeblock parts . makeblock is an open platform , compatible with many other parts and systems , we do n't put any limit on people 's imagination , ' wang says . read : mine kafon : the low-tech tumbleweed minesweeper ' open source means we work closely with a large , smart community , which will help us to improve product designs . customers will also get additional technical support from the community and other resources such as code . ' building robots is a creative process that should be accessible to everyone , he adds . our goal is to help people turn their ideas into reality , help them to be more creative . creating is no longer something that just the geeks can do , but also people without professional backgrounds , ' says wang . despite having a masters degree in aircraft design and being a diy and robotics enthusiast , even wang found available robotics kits difficult to follow . he was also unimpressed with their flimsy design . read :'shutter shades'create new fashion code ' i do n't like plastic kits , because they look like toys , and most of the applications built by plastic kits are just for fun , without practical use , ' he says . wang resolved to make his own kits , with solid design and an open-source philosophy . i wanted to create a platform that is strong , flexible and practical , for people to turn their ideas into success , to build some real things . ' wang believes open-source hardware will follow the popularity of open-source software , as people want to create more physical things . the hardware era is coming now . people live in the real physical world , not in the digital world . the popularity of 3d printers is an example of this , ' he says . wang 's kits provide all the components you need to jump-start your home robotics career . whether you want to build a mini tank or a 3d printer of your own , makeblock has the parts and just like with lego , your imagination does the rest . | no information |
arkansas <sep> same-sex couples can marry in arkansas , but ca n't yet do the same in idaho , thanks to a pair of court rulings thursday . the arkansas case is an entirely in-state matter , involving a local county court and the state 's supreme court . but it 's similar to a spate of federal rulings in recent months because the initial ruling that kicked off the process knocked down arkansas law barring same-sex marriages . twenty-one gay and lesbian couples were part of a group of plaintiffs challenging amendment 83 to the arkansas constitution , saying it violated their federal and state rights of equal protection and privacy . pulaski county circuit judge chris piazza ruled last friday in those couples'favor . but after his decision , it was n't clear whether some same-sex couples could begin getting married immediately . the state supreme court weighed in wednesday , ruling the court 's order is not final , and we have no jurisdiction to hear the appeal . ' the same court denied the state 's motion for an emergency stay of piazza 's ruling . piazza issued what he called a final order ' on thursday , in lieu of the arkansas supreme court ruling . on the same day , he issued another document saying this court ... can not in good conscience grant ' the state 's request for an immediate stay of his decision . constitutional violations are routinely recognized as triggering irreparable harm unless they are promptly remedied , ' piazza wrote , adding that there is no evidence ' those pushing to continue the state 's same-sex marriage ban will be harmed , ' but those trying to overturn the prohibition will suffer . the pulaski circuit/county clerk posted links to piazza 's orders on its website . the same office tweeted thursday afternoon , soon after the latest rulings : the pulaski circuit and county clerk 's office is open for business and we are issuing marriage licenses to all qualified applicants . ' cnn affiliate kark reported the clerk was then issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples . it was not clear what was occurring in other arkansas counties . a federal judge moved idaho in that same direction on tuesday , ruling that state 's laws violated the u.s. constitution because they deny its gay and lesbian citizens the fundamental right to marry and relegate their families to a stigmatized , second-class status without sufficient reason for doing so . ' while u.s. magistrate judge candy wagahoff dale 's decision striking down idaho 's same-sex marriage ban was clear , it did n't take effect right away . she stated it would become law at 9 a.m. friday . that 's where the 9th u.s . circuit court of appeals came in , with three judges signing onto a one-line ruling putting off dale 's decision from going into effect -- at least for now . the appeals judges ruled that dale 's ruling is temporarily stayed pending this court 's disposition of appellants'emergency motions for a stay pending appeal . ' thursday 's decision from the 9th circuit appeals court prevents a repeat of what happened in utah and michigan , where federal judges similarly struck down those states'same-sex marriage bans effectively immediately . higher courts later stayed those decisions on appeal , but not before some same-sex couples married . same-sex couples marry in michigan before court halts licenses in recent months , federal judges have found restrictions limiting marriage to one man and one woman to be unconstitutional in several other states . but those rulings did n't take effect immediately , having been stayed as appeals courts and possibly the u.s. supreme court weigh in . appeals court scrutinizes virginia same-sex marriage ban | an arkansas judge paves way for same-sex marriages |
