Good Morning!
Election 2016:
It might be time for Republicans to get that seat belt that Ohio Gov. John Kasich has been telling us to get - although this is for a different reason. Donald Trump has now easily won two primaries and has a commanding lead ahead of the Nevada Republican caucuses, and many more analysts are predicting that Trump will be the Republican nominee.
However, the race is still far from over and the motto for this election should be: Expect the unexpected.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush dropped out after a disappointing finish on Saturday. Many analysts have suggested that if there was only one establishment candidate in the race, Trump would not have won on Saturday. The big question now is: Who will former Bush supporters move to?

U.S. regulators vowed on Thursday seize all hoverboards that fail to meet new safety standards. In a letter written to sellers, manufacturers, and importers of the two-wheeled stand-up scooters, officials said that hoverboard currently on the street cannot be called safe.
The move comes after an independent testing company released new safety guidelines, and a spike in fire caused when the lithium batteries explode.

International:
Days before North Korea’s latest nuclear-bomb test, the Obama administration secretly agreed to talks to try to formally end the Korean War.
The administration dropped the condition that Pyongyang first take steps to curtail its nuclear program. Rather the U.S. called for North Korea’s atomic weapons to be part of the talks. Pyongyang declined the counter-proposal and conducted its nuclear test on January 6, which ended the diplomatic conversation.
History:
On this day in history, the underdog U.S. hockey team defeated the four-time defending gold-medal winning Soviet team at the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. The Soviet team lost 4-3 to the youthful American team. Two days later, the Americans defeated Finland 4-2.
Science:
Recently released tapes from the Apollo 10 mission reveal that the astronauts heard strange music-like radio transmissions coming through their headsets. The incident occurred when the astronauts traversed to the far side of the moon where they were out of radio contact with Earth for about an hour.
For years the public had no idea about the incident until the transcripts from that incident were declassified in 2008,
