"We are aware of the video made of an incident which occurred on campus yesterday afternoon. University police were called to the scene of the incident when it occurred. The two individuals involved in the incident are not San Francisco State University employees. Further, no criminal charges have been pressed at this time to the University’s knowledge.

San Francisco State University promotes the rights of the campus community to engage in free speech, but does not condone behavior that impedes the safety or well-being of others. We are taking the matter seriously and will promptly and thoroughly investigate this incident through applicable University channels, including our campus student conduct procedures"

Obama: Capitalism vs. Communism.

"Silicon Valley payments startup Stripe will make it possible to give Cuban entrepreneurs access to the US financial system. Cubans will be able to incorporate a US company, set up a US bank account, and start accepting payments from the US. Stripe will be working with the Merchise Startup Circle, which has been working to form and facilitate a Cuban startup community. Again, the ball is in Cuba's court. Will they allow self-employed workers or cooperatives to open those accounts?"

Obama thinks mandatory voting will change the role of money, in the electoral system.

Amazon's delivery drones are now regulated for testing.

A pregnant woman is attacked, and has her baby removed from her stomach.

"Obama floated the idea of mandatory voting in the U.S. while speaking to a civic group in Cleveland on Wednesday. Asked about the influence of money in U.S. elections, Obama digressed into the topic of voting rights and said the U.S. should be making it easier for people to vote.

Just ask Australia, where citizens have no choice but to vote, the president said.

'If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country,' Obama said, calling it 'potentially transformative.' Not only that, Obama said, but universal voting would 'counteract money more than anything.'"

        ― Associated Press

"The drones must be flown at 400 feet or below during daylight hours, and must remain within sight of the pilot.

Under US law, operating drones for commercial purposes is illegal.

However, those rules are under revision by the FAA, which is expected to issue new rules regarding the operation of unmanned aircraft for commercial and recreational purposes."

         ― BBC News

"Police in Colorado have arrested a 34-year-old woman they say stabbed a pregnant woman in the stomach then removed the fetus from her womb.

Longmont police say the victim, a 26-year-old woman who was seven months pregnant, visited a home on the 1600 block of Green Place sometime before 3 p.m. on Wednesday to buy baby clothes that were advertised on Craigslist."

Insight regarding ISIS and itsrecruiting methods.

Westerners are following in the footsteps of ISIS.

Would the U.S. government team up with Anonymous to fight ISIS?

"According to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue – a think tank specializing in geo-strategic, social and security issues in London, UK – there are an estimated 550 western women living in ISIS-controlled territory. Amarasingam estimates that about 15 of those western women are Canadian. He tracks recruits online, mainly through social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. He says, at first, he was mainly tracking male recruits, but then noticed a new demographic of recruits beginning to emerge."

        ― Hannah James (Global News)

"When Steve Hassan heard an ISIS propaganda tape, "it reminded me of the exhortations of Jim Jones' cult saying, 'Come to Jonestown. It's a paradise. It's wonderful.' And that keys in on one of the key principles of destructive cults, which is deceptive recruiting."

Hassan is the founder of Freedom of Mind, an organization dedicated to exposing destructive cults and cult behavior.

'This is a political cult using religion and a perversion of Islam as the shield. But in fact it's a systematic effort to create an army of basically tranced-out followers.'

Video clips of foreign jihadists burning their passports show that many have no interest in returning home."

         ― Holly Yan (CNN)

"As well as its success in raising awareness of Isis-related social media accounts, the amorphous online collective has also succeeded in taking down dozens of jihadist websites. Considering this, Brooking suggested the US government should adjust its view of Anonymous as a menace, and consider it a temporary ally in the fight against IS.

'If the United States is struggling to counter the Islamic State's dispersed, rapidly regenerative online presence, why not turn to groups native to this digital habitat?" Brooking wrote. "Why not embrace the efforts of third-party hackers like Anonymous to dismantle the Islamic State - and even give them the resources to do so?'

One way of implementing this "fig leaf" to the world's hacktivists would be through offering bounties paid in bitcoin for every jihadist site taken down through phishing or distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks."

Obamacare refunds are delayed by the IRS.

Rich people paying less taxes: possibly a misconception and generalization.

Tax returns are found on the streets of Philadelphia; investigation continues.

"Some enrollees will have to pay back part of their subsidies or receive smaller refunds if they underestimated their incomes. Others may get larger refunds if they earned less than they anticipated.

The IRS needs to get the 1095-A forms, which includes the subsidy data, from the state exchanges to confirm the information taxpayers put on their return is correct.

Olson's comments are the latest headache for Obamacare enrollees and the Obama administration. Last month, administration officials said that 800,000 enrollees received incorrect 1095-A forms. That forced the majority of them to delay filing their tax returns until they get updated forms. (Some 50,000 people who had already sent in their returns will not have to amend them.)

Also, scores of people who paid a penalty for remaining uninsured in 2014 told CNNMoney that their refunds were delayed."

        ― CNN Money

"The second problem with looking purely at state and local taxes is that taxpayers can deduct state and local taxes from their federal taxes. So some of that tax burden shifted to the middle and lower class at the state level is given back by the federal government. The federal tax system, in other words, rebalances or cancels out some of the regressive structure of the state and local taxes.

'There is an interaction between the federal, state and local systems,' Williams said. 'The federal system offsets some of the regressiveness of the state level.'

In other words, saying the tax system is upside down based on state and local taxes is like studying the estate tax or mansion tax and saying millionaires pay all the taxes in America."

         ― Robert Frank (NBC News)

"Santiago showed the documents to NBC10’s Christine Maddela who took them to local accountant Michael Falco. Falco told NBC10 the documents were actual tax returns, showing where people work, their income and even information about their children.

'For the people who have documents here this could turn into a nightmare,' he said. 'I’ve never seen anything like this before. This is unbelievable.'

Falco, a former FBI agent who specialized as an accounting technician and has done thousands of tax returns, said he immediately noticed several suspicious things about the documents. The most glaring being the fact that several different names were filing from the same address."

         ― David Chang (NBC Philadelphia)
