In suburban Arizona, false alarms in abandoned houses are giving local fire departments fits. From ABC 15:

"Neighbors can hear the alarm so they call us, but when we get up to the home, it's vacant, locked up and we're unable to access them," said Kevin Pool, assistant chief with the Surprise Fire Department.

There's nothing to do but wait until the batteries run out.

Meanwhile, Paul Krugman has some advice for the folks warning about inflation and calling for President Obama to step back from stimulating the economy: Not yet. Krugman writes:

It's much too soon to give up on policies that have, at most, pulled us a few inches back from the edge of the abyss.
