Video Exonerates Man Set Up By Louisiana Cops And Prosecutors
If not for cell phone video, 47-year-old disabled veteran Douglas Dendinger could be going to prison — because of an apparent coordinated effort by Washington Parish, La. cops and prosecutors who falsely accused him of battery and witness intimidation. As New Orleans’ WWL reports, Dendinger’s two-year nightmare began on Aug. 20, 2012, when he was paid $50 to serve a court summons on behalf of his nephew against Bogalusa police officer Chad Cassard in a police brutality lawsuit. Dendinger handed Cassard a white envelope containing the documents and says he went on his way. A year after the incident, then-District Attorney Walter Reed brought charges against Dendinger.

William Shatner Flies Back to LA Ahead of Leonard Nimoy Funeral (Report)
William Shatner has beamed himself back to Los Angeles ahead of Leonard Nimoy‘s funeral on Sunday after all, according to the New York Post’s Page Six. It was a shocker, because earlier in the day the former Captain Kirk on the hit “Star Trek” TV series had spent hours on Twitter defending his decision to miss the service for his co-star, explaining that he couldn’t because he had made an earlier commitment to a Red Cross charity function in Palm Beach, Fla. The 83-year-old Shatner even tweeted that his two daughters would attend in his place.

Republicans Blocking DHS Funding Are 'Delusional,' Rep. Peter King Says
House Homeland Security Committee member Rep. Peter King today called some members of his Republican caucus "self-righteous and delusional" for opposing a bill that would fund the Department of Homeland Security. "I said the other night, when I was at the Republican meeting, that they are self-righteous and delusional," King said on "This Week" of the Republican contingent holding up the bill because of their opposition to President Obama's executive action on immigration. We cannot allow such a small group to be dominating and controlling what happens in the United States Congress, especially at a time when we're confronting terrorism," the New York Republican told ABC News' Martha Raddatz.

Australia says hunt for missing MH370 jet may be called off soon
By Matt Siegel CANBERRA (Reuters) - The search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 cannot go on forever, Australia's deputy prime minister said, and discussions are already under way between Australia, China and Malaysia as to whether to call off the hunt within weeks. No trace has been found of the Boeing 777 aircraft, which disappeared a year ago this week carrying 239 passengers and crew, in what has become one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history. The search of a rugged 60,000 sq km (23,000 sq mile) patch of sea floor some 1,600 km (1,000 miles) west of the Australian city of Perth, which experts believe is the plane's most likely resting place, will likely be finished by May. Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss told Reuters that a decision would have to be taken well before then as to whether to continue into the vast 1.1 million sq km area around the primary search zone if nothing has been found.

Valve's big announcement should get you excited (and terrified) about virtual reality
We knew Valve would be showing some form of virtual reality something at this year's Game Developers Conference, but a surprise Sunday announcement blew the lid off the device and gave us more than enough details to get excited. With both Sony and Oculus refusing to give much in the way of a solid release window for their VR products, knowing companies as large as Valve and HTC have a product that will ship in calendar 2015 is great news. It also means you're going to need to own a very powerful PC to run VR games at that resolution and at that framerate. For now, we have a release window and some very promising specs on paper.

Americans are making a big mistake about health care
Vox.com qIf you want to understand the politics of health care in the United States, you really need to understand this finding from a recent Economist/YouGov poll that shows why it's so difficult for wonky ideas — of either a left-wing or right-wing slant — to gain much toehold with the American people. Almost everyone who has health insurance in the United States gets help from the government to afford it.
