>> A Manhattan judge will formally dismiss rape charges against former IMF leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn today. Now resume normal life. So about that French president thing. (USA Today, Daily Beast)
>> Hurricane Irene, a category two storm, hit the Caribbean, leaving nearly a million people in Puerto Rico without power. It is expected to become a level three storm when it hits Miami on Thursday, and possible becoming a level four when it hits southern Florida or the Carolinas on Friday. It had become too long since we had a weather-related disaster. (Miami Herald)
>> Former WikiLeaks spokesman Daniel Domscheit-Berg left the secret-sharing organization because he felt Julian Assange was "behaving like a child clutching on his toy." On the way out, Domscheit-Berg "shredded" more than 3,500 unpublished documents including the U.S. no-fly list, Bank of America info and neo-Nazi communications. Domscheit-Berg now wants to start his own organization, OpenLeaks, though Assange accuses him of working with authorities. Ladies, there's enough secrets to go around. (BBC)
>> And finally: Standard & Poor's president Deven Sharma announced he will step down at the end of the year. I first typed up "Standard & Poop," which seems fitting for the institution. (the New York Times)
