Shurtleff, both former attorneys general for Utah, were arrested
today for a
host of corruption charges ranging from accepting bribes to
witness tampering.- Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, who is
now an immigration activist after publicly revealing he’s an
undocumented immigrant to the United States, was
detained and arrested while trying to board a flight in McAllen,
Texas. - A car
bomb has killed dozens (estimates range from 40 to 89) in
Afghanistan, the deadliest attack in the country this year. - Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said today the
Fed will keep its monetary policy “loose” until the effects of
the financial crisis are completely gone. So two more years and we
can declare our own “lost decade”? - The Fed also warned of

drop in share price. - Passersby
smashed in the windows of a hot Jeep in a parking lot in
Houston and freed two small children who had been left locked
inside while the mother got her hair done. After they confronted
