Last August, when the FBI reported that hackers were probing voter registration databases in more than a dozen states, prompting concerns about the integrity of the looming presidential election, Logan Lamb decided he wanted to get his hands on a voting machine.

A 29-year-old former cybersecurity researcher with the federal government’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, Lamb, who now works for a private internet security firm in Georgia, wanted to assess the security of the state’s voting systems. When he learned that Kennesaw State University’s Center for Election Systems tests and programs voting machines for the entire state of Georgia, he searched the center’s website.

A manhunt was underway in Georgia after two inmates fatally shot two prison guards and escaped from a transport bus Tuesday, authorities said.

The Georgia Department of Corrections said Donnie Russell "Whiskey" Rowe, 43, and Ricky Dubose, 24, fled from the bus in Putnam County. The sheriff's office confirmed the prisoners overpowered and disarmed the guards before killing them and escaping on Highway 16 near Eatonton, about 70 miles southeast of Atlanta.

Sheriff Howard Sills said the inmates, armed with the officers' .40 caliber Glock handguns, then carjacked a "grass green" 2004 Honda civic and fled east toward Eatonton.

Immigration officials rounded up and detained about 80 people in Detroit in a deportation sweep as distraught relatives watched.

The sweep Sunday largely involved ethnic Chaldean Muslims who immigrated to the United States from Iraq. Although some have lived in the United States for decades and some have criminal convictions, family members said those detained arrived in the United States legally. They added that some are married to U.S. citizens, WDIV-TV, Detroit, reported.

Anti-Muslim protesters marching in Lower Manhattan Saturday were met by a larger group of counter-protesters who drowned them out with chants of their own.

The two sides squared off in Foley Square, where ACT for America, a lobbying organization opposed to Muslim immigration, organized a “March against sharia” - part of a series of nationwide marches the group organized Saturday.

Adam West, the ardent actor who managed to keep his tongue in cheek while wearing the iconic cowl of the Caped Crusader on the classic 1960s series Batman, has died. He was 88.

West, who was at the pinnacle of pop culture after Batman debuted in January 1966, only to see his career fall victim to typecasting after the ABC show flamed out, died Friday night in Los Angeles after a short battle with leukemia, a family spokesperson said.

West died peacefully surrounded by his family and is survived by his wife Marcelle, six children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Over at least the last 10 years, government prosecutors have become increasingly focused on imposing the maximum consequences on individuals who violate the law. When seeking to impose monetary sanctions or forfeiture of assets, the government has expanded its view of what constitutes the proceeds of wrongdoing and has not hesitated to make wrongdoers pay.

Many have applauded this seemingly limitless reach of the government power since it only impacted wrongdoers. Few individuals have the resources to challenge whether the government’s expansion of its power is justified under our laws. Recently, however, two individuals did challenge the government, and the Supreme Court concluded that the government had gone too far. We should all applaud the Supreme Court’s recognition that even the government is bound by the limits of the law.
