Authorities are investigating two suspicious bags left near the finish line of the Boston Marathon amid stepped-up security on the anniversary of the bombings that shook the city a year ago today.
Police say the man they believe dropped the bags has been detained for questioning. There is no indication that the bags were dangerous.
The race takes place April 19, but today was a day of remembrance in Boston, a year after bombings at the finish line killed three and injured 264.
Police said the bags were left in the area of Boylston St. and Exeter St., and the road was closed. Both bags were exploded by Boston Police as a precaution.
An Arlington, Virginia technician is behind bars after raping a hospital patient.
According toFOX News, 30-year-old Roy Anthony Jones was arrested and charged with rape after he treated a woman in the ER. Police say the incident occurred in January after the unidentified woman was admitted to the Virginia Hospital Center.
A 37-year-old woman reported the rape happened in the early morning hours of January 13. She says she was being treated in the emergency room, and as part of that treatment, had gone to the hospital’s imaging center.
She says she was alone and that the CT scan technician, identified as Jones, forced himself on her and raped her.
Police say the victim went back down to the emergency room and told staffers she had been sexually assaulted. Someone called police.
Police say the delay in the arrest was due to officials collecting Jones’ DNA to connect him to the crime. Police Chief Daniel Murray told reporters he was shocked by the incident, since it occurred in a place patients are supposed to feel safe and secure in.
The problem is something could happen to anybody almost anywhere, so one always has to exude caution,” says Deputy Police Chief Daniel Murray. “But I’m extremely sympathetic to a patient trying to be in a place where they’re seeking treatment, where they’re seeking care, and then to have something tragically like this happen to them.”
Jones was terminated from his position and is being held in an Arlington, Virginia jail without bond.
Fox News has something else to complain about. They are now blaming Obamacare for the people who chose to remain uninsured past the enrollment cycle. You know, those same folks Fox News told not to buy healthcare.
There is yet another ObamaCare surprise waiting for consumers: from now until the next open enrollment at the end of this year, most people will simply not be able to buy any health insurance at all, even outside the exchanges.
Apparently, the concept of an enrollment cycle is foreign to the good ole folks over at Fox. Of course, the rest of us already know that enrollment in health insurance happens every year and anyone who missed or failed to enroll because, they listened to Fox for example – would usually wait for the next enrollment cycle. But according to the foxers, Obamacare is now the culprit.
I still cannot figure out why their audience continue buying their bull!
Did you know? Obamacare, also known as the ACA will reduce the federal budget even more than the CBO initially reported. Also, more people will be covered than initially thought. Also, the Republicans are dead set on repealing the whole thing.
In 2010, it estimated that Obamacare’s costs to the federal budget between 2014 and 2019 would hit $759 billion. That figure has steadily declined with each revision. The new figures project “a net cost of $36 billion for 2014, $5 billion less than the previous projection for the year; and $1,383 billion for the 2015–2024 period.” That last figures is “$104 billion less than the previous projection.”
It also projected an increase to the number of people gaining coverage under Obamacare — though a modest one. Compared to its February estimates, the CBO now assumes that 7 million more people will gain coverage under the Obamacare exchanges. In total, it projects that “12 million more nonelderly people will have health insurance in 2014 than would have had it in the absence of the ACA” — an increase that appears to be independent of the spike in Obamacare enrollments at the end of March.
Earlier I reported that Lamar Odom was being targeted by the Knicks before the season ended. My speculation was to lighten the load for Carmelo Anthony considering his injured shoulder.
This morning I have learned that the deal will not be a 10 day deal like I had originally thought. Looks like Lamar will be a part of next year’s Knick team.
You see, I have my own theory on this whole shoe throwing incident last week involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
If you ask me, I think that the incident was staged. But unlike Rush Limbaugh who seems to think that the Clintons arranged the whole thing because, they’re the Clintons, I think it was staged by some disgruntled conservatives who can’t get over the fact that George Bush was the only US President to have a shoe thrown at him – a sure sign if disrespect.
My theory is, these conservatives assume that Hillary Clinton, being a Democrat and the next presumptive president of the United States – should join George Bush at the bottom of the ranks by having a shoe thrown at her.
The caller’s theory was based on Clinton’s “little girl” reaction to something that she said should have made the former secretary of state feel more “fear and anxiety.” Limbaugh admitted to the woman that he hadn’t seen the video — only the still photo on The Drudge Report — but based on that he agreed with his caller’s assessment.
“I can totally relate to those who believe that everything the Clintons do is staged or choreographed,” Limbaugh told is audience. “But I’m sorry, I’m ill-equipped to comment, I haven’t seen it,” he added, saying he hasn’t “cared enough” to seek it out
“Maybe it’s because, in my subconscious, I think it was staged, or set up, or whatever,” he said. “I don’t know why anybody would be throwing a shoe at Hillary unless maybe it’s an attempt to make the Benghazi people look like nuts and lunatics and wackos.”
Ah… Rush, you people already look like nuts and lunatics and wackos!
