JaneyVee's JournalChilling Final Tweet From Boston Bombers Official Twitter Account, From AFTER The Bombing
Tsarnaev has accessed his Twitter account 12 different times since the bombs went off Monday, writing "stay safe people" just a few hours after the chaos broke out and telling his friend Jimm (@MelloChamp) that "those people are cooked" at 10:13pm that night.

Don't Know How Google+ Works, But Look At This User Review From Waco Fertilizer Plant.
Read the review. It says it was reviewed in the last week. Anyone know how Google+ time stamps their posts? Could this be from today, or does this mean last week. Kind of creepy.

Meet Ricin Mailer Paul Kevin Curtis.
Who is Paul Kevin Curtis, the Mississippi man the FBI arrested Wednesday in connection to letters with traces of ricin sent to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker?
Curtis, a Corinth resident, might be better known to some as a celebrity impersonator.
According to GigSalad.com, a website dedicated to booking live entertainers, Curtis does impersonations of “70 of the biggest names in music history,” including Elvis, Johnny Cash, Prince, Bon Jovi and Kenny Chesney.

In Big Win for Privacy, Obama Administration Issues #CISPA Veto Threat.
Over the last few months, more than 50,000 ACLU supporters signed our petition to the president urging him to veto CISPA if it made it to his desk. Not only did the president hear your calls – yesterday, he answered them with a resounding win for your privacy and civil liberties and threatened to veto CISPA, the dangerous privacy-busting cybersecurity bill.
The president's veto threat echoed many of our concerns, and those that he raised last year when he threatened to veto CISPA 1.0. We have long warned that CISPA threatens Americans' privacy and civil liberties by allowing for companies to share our private information, like our internet records and the content of our emails, with the government. Yesterday's veto threat makes it clear that in spite of recent amendments, CISPA still fails to adequately protect our privacy.

Whoops! Turns out debt doesn’t ruin economies.
A paper justifying international austerity measures had a couple mistakes that totally undermine its argumentCarmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff are two very, very well-respected Harvard economists. They are the authors of a very well-received account of the financial crisis and its antecedents. In 2010 they released a paper that is among the most influential economic papers of the modern era. The paper argued that countries with a debt-to-GDP ratio above 90 percent average negative GDP growth. (The paper also suggested that correlation is causation, in the direction neoliberal misers prefer.) In other words, this was, for many people, concrete proof — with numbers and a chart — that government debt is bad for the economy and should be reduced even in the midst of a recession and an employment crisis. The authors have briefed leaders and legislators around the world on their finding, and the paper has essentially been used to justify most debt hysteria around the world, since its publication.
But! Whoops, turns out they were wrong, about that one central fact that has been repeated as the gospel truth by purveyors of Tough Talk on debt the world over for the last three years. They screwed up their spreadsheet. Turns out average GDP growth in countries with debt-GDP ratios 90 percent and higher is positive, not negative.
The error was revealed in a new paper by Thomas Herndon, Michael Ash, and Robert Pollin of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and written about by Mike Konczal. Those authors also noted a couple counties had years of data excluded — data that would’ve undermined Reinhart and Rogoff’s argument — and criticized the way Reinhart and Rogoff weighted each country’s data in a way that privileges years of high debt and low growth over years of high debt and regular growth.
The reason we are just now getting critical second looks at Reinhart and Rogoff’s findings now, when the paper in question came out in 2010, is that the economists just didn’t release their data. Here’s Dean Baker complaining about that fact in 2010. As he wrote: “Mr Rogoff and Ms. Reinhart have declined to adhere to standard ethics within the economics profession and have refused to share the data on which they base their conclusion with other researchers.”
So, austerity’s canceled, right? Haha, no, sorry.

More Photos From Boston Including A VERY Speculative Possible "Suspect"
From the Daily Mail, the article is EXTREMELY speculative, take with a grain of salt. Also, I won't post graphic images but the link contains some graphic images.
Caption: While everyone seems to instinctively cower - the man dressed in black and highlighted - appears to run away at speed from the scene in the opposite direction to everyone else who was caught up in the blast

AP: Ex-Wife Says Former SC Gov. Mark Sanford Trespassed
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A lawyer says ex-South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford trespassed at his ex-wife's home and he has been ordered to appear in court two days after his special congressional election.
Documents acquired by The Associated Press Tuesday say Jenny Sanford confronted her ex-husband leaving her South Carolina home on Feb. 3. Her attorney filed a complaint the next day and she confirms the documents are authentic.
In them, she says he was using his cellphone as a flashlight as he left.
The couple's divorce settlement says neither may enter the other's home without permission.
Republican Mark Sanford is trying to revive his political career that was derailed by an extramarital affair that ended his marriage. He is running for the state's 1st Congressional District seat.
A spokesman says the campaign has no comment at this time.
