2014 among coldest 3 percent of years in the last 10,000.
Apparently having not noticed that nobody cares about global warming any more, Senate to vote on whether it's real or not. Republicans maneuver and vote that climate change is real, but man isn't causing it. Nice.

Police State
Police use advanced wall-penetrating radar to illegally spy on Americans.
People use Tor and VPNs for security. The FBI wants to be able to obtain warrants for no reason other than people use Tor and VPNs. That undermines security.
FBI corruption, not stopping real terrorist threats while creating fake ones.
Moscow to track cell phone users ostensibly to improve traffic flow. Right.
Argentine corruption of terrorist prosecution ends in prosecutor's murder.
Georgia cop tickets driver for eating McDonalds while driving.
"The Range-R's maker, L-3 Communications, estimates it has sold about 200 devices to 50 law enforcement agencies at a cost of about $6,000 each. Other radar devices have far more advanced capabilities, including three-dimensional displays of where people are located inside a building, according to marketing materials from their manufacturers. One is capable of being mounted on a drone. And the Justice Department has funded research to develop systems that can map the interiors of buildings and locate the people within them."Lovely. Police from top to bottom, from the DOJ and the Feds to the smallest local police department, are crooks.

This plan to semi-legalize marijuana in Ohio reminds of the casino plan. It'll make a handful of people rich while shutting out everybody else. There should be no coercion inhibiting the production of marijuana.

Gross domestic product (GDP) expanded 7.4 percent from 7.7 percent in 2013. Government targets have been for a print of "around 7.5 percent.""
