JaneyVee's JournalHow Exactly Did Suspect#2 Escape A 200 Round Gun Fight On Foot???
This is the part I can't seem to comprehend. Anyone?
Are the police legally allowed to search my/your home for a bomber without any warrant?
What if, hypothetically speaking, they found something minor, like, I don't know, say, small amount of marijuana while in the process of searching the home? What's the outcome?
ETA: This is a completely hypothetical question, I live in NYC, the house searches aren't pertaining to me.

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 wouldve undermined Reinhart and Rogoffs argument and criticized the way Reinhart and Rogoff weighted each countrys 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 Rogoffs findings now, when the paper in question came out in 2010, is that the economists just didnt release their data. Heres 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, austeritys canceled, right? Haha, no, sorry.
