Three charged with kidnapping of HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION actress



Prosecutors allege Keith Andre Stewart, Johntae Jones and Amber Neal went to "Halloween: Resurrection" actress Daisy McCrackin’s home in L.A. on May 3, where they say Stewart pistol-whipped a man in the home, identified as Joseph Capone. The three placed bags over the two victims’ heads and drove them to Jones’ home in Compton, prosecutors said.

Once they were at Jones’ home, the suspects forced Capone to strip naked and held him in a bathtub for 30 hours without food, prosecutors allege.

Investigators said Jones and Neal took McCrackin’s car and drove her to several different banks while demanding she pay $10,000 for Capone’s release. She was forced to write a $10,000 check to Neal, prosecutors said.

Google feeling lucky: Secrets now coming out

GMAILed...

BOMBSHELL REPORT on how the internet giant continues to let hundreds of outside software developers scan the inboxes of millions of Gmail users who signed up for email-based services offering shopping price comparisons, automated travel-itinerary planners or other tools. Google does little to police those developers, who train their computers—and, in some cases, employees—to read their users’ emails, a Wall Street Journal examination has found

FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL:

Letting employees read user emails has become “common practice” for companies that collect this type of data, says Thede Loder, the former chief technology officer at eDataSource Inc., a rival to Return Path. He says engineers at eDataSource occasionally reviewed emails when building and improving software algorithms.
“Some people might consider that to be a dirty secret,” says Mr. Loder. “It’s kind of reality.”
Neither Return Path nor Edison asked users specifically whether it could read their emails. Both companies say the practice is covered by their user agreements, and that they used strict protocols for the employees who read emails. eDataSource says it previously allowed employees to read some email data but recently ended that practice to better protect user privacy.

JULY 2: The real holiday?

Most are off on Wednesday for the Fourth of July...

BUT.

Only two Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776..The Second Continental Congress met on July 2nd to formally approve the new nation’s independence. The Congress approved the Declaration of Independence two days later, on the 4th of July. John Adams thought that July 2nd would become a memorable day of celebration. Adams even wrote to his wife, “The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epoch, in the History of America.”

SO HAPPY 2ND OF JULY!
