The Land Where Only Cash is King!
The first thing you learn pretty quickly about Russia is that you will be expected to pay for most things you buy in cash. Traveler's checks are basically useless and credit cards aren't automatically accepted everywhere. It makes me wonder how Olympics fans in Sochi are doing with this.
I rely so much on my debit card that I almost never have cash with me. Let's face it these days you can charge $3.59 at McDonalds and the drive through worker won't even blink an eye. It is easy to take this for granted and assume the whole world operates as we do.
Here are the some things you need to know about money before
visiting Russia.
1. Credit cards work for flights, hotels and at major shopping centers and restaurants. But when you get home and look at the bill – an international transaction fee based on the amount you spent will be added to EACH transaction. This is a 1-2% charge for converting exchange rates.
2. It goes against everything you know about safe travel but instead of traveler's checks bring cash. Estimate what you are going to spend on food, souvenirs and attractions and bring as much cash as you are comfortable with . (You can get it from ATM machines but again will be charged extra fees).
3. You can't just bring any bills they have to be "new". This means going to your bank and requesting the most new they have on hand or calling ahead and requesting new ones before you leave. Nobody in Russia will take old, crumpled bills.
4. Expect that you will have to pay for everything in Rubles. All visitors need to convert their currency to rubles right away to buy things.
5. Know the current exchange rate and be careful where you change your money. Airports and hotels are convenient but they will not offer rates as good as exchange booths around town.
6. Exchange rates are usually more competitive in areas outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg – under normal circumstances regions like Sochi would give more rubles per dollar than the metros.
7. Bring a small calculator to figure out what everything is priced at! Currently the rate is 34.75 rubles per dollar (which is the best it has been in a while). So if something is priced at 340 rubles – you are paying about $10 for it. Just divide the current rate by the Russian price to see what it costs in dollars.
8. Traditional shops, train stations and museums usually only accept cash (rubles).
9. Don't frustrate yourself by trying to understand the small change you get back from a transaction in coins – they usually amount to nothing. I brought coins home as souvenirs.
10. Try to spend all of your left over rubles before you leave – it is hard to find anyone who will buy them back when you return.

By Henning Fog, Hollywood Staff
Well, now we know what happens when you get a speeding ticket on The Amazing Race. Quick show of hands: who thought Caroline & Jennifer and Max & Katie would be able to sweet-talk their way out of the fine? Or at least pass it off to on executive producer or something who would take care of it? I've got to say I was very shocked to learn that, at least based on the events of last night, teams are required to pay whatever penalties they accrue. There's no tab system? No ''look the other way because this is a foreign country''? Man, I'd be bolting from that speed trap before the traffic cop could say ''Jack Robinson.'' Or any number of more contemporary selections.
But pay both teams did, setting them back a little bit en route to the Road Block. The Country Singers in particular drew the short straw, showing up to the police station with no local currency and forced to exchange it or else. While it didn't come to ''or else,'' (they found some guy more than happy to run financial conversion errands for two pretty blonde girls), I like to believe it still taught both of them a valuable lesson.
The world is a nicer place for blonde girls with nice figures.
Anyway, AFRICA. Last we'd seen our teams they were bonding with Kalahari Bushmen and making Lion King references. When we caught up with them last night, the former were gone. And so began a boringly straightforward episode, the kind that not even waterskiing over crocodile-infested waters could improve.
Part of the blame must go to this leg's challenges. Stand-up canoe rowing? Not bad, and throw a couple of goats who sound exactly like human children in there and you've at least got an arresting soundtrack. But the ''struggle'' such as it was really did nothing to differentiate one team from another. They each had their own difficulties, not a one truly pulling ahead or falling behind. Speeding tickets had taken care of that!
Bates & Anthony even managed to sidestep the entirety of the night's challenges when they nailed the Fast Forward, another ''this should be more exciting!'' activity. Can you waterski one mile? Of course you can. How about in water that may have a crocodile or two, but nothing the show's producers wouldn't handle well in advance? You said ''absolutely,'' with ''time leftover to take your shirt off and crack wise?'' Congratulations, you just won the latest leg of the Race!
Max & Katie, conversely, had the most number of challenges to attend to. But considering they were all so easy and their ''Speed Bump'' amounted to little more than tacking on five minutes in which they gently participated in a local dance, things turned out pretty okay! Certainly okay enough for them to make it to the next round -- another narrow escape.
None of which is to say that teams didn't face a few of their demons along the way last night. Chuck & Wynona and Mona & Beth, for instance, showed us how not to argue on a small canoe. Wynona, upset that she couldn't quite master the art of steering: ''you think this is easy!'' Chuck just told her to ''figure it out.'' A few minutes later Mona & Beth invited us onto their vessel of split affirmation and criticism. ''I am so, so proud of you'' Beth told Mona. ''I'm about to lose my mind,'' Beth told Mona. Neither of these teams was eliminated last night.
That would be, in a genuine surprise, PAM & WINNIE. Maybe not given the first thing they said at the top of the episode, to ''keep being smart'' in the race (as sure a sign as any that they were the next to go home), but certainly given their track record. This is a team that won at least two legs, and was consistently near the front of the pack for the others. And then on this second Botswanan leg -- they couldn't figure out a memory-based Detour. It goes to show you that, for better or worse, Race is a show where even the best combination of travel acumen, brains, and speed isn't enough to save you from a truly bad day. Luck factors, maybe more so than on just about any reality show on TV. This isn't chess, guys, where the best player wins. It's friggin' Mario Kart. There are Blue Shells everywhere.
Our remaining six teams, in order at the Pit Stop: 1) Bates & Anthony (who each collected a cool $7500 for their victory 2) Mona & Beth 3) Caroline & Jennifer 4) Chuck & Wynona 5) Meghan & Joey 6) Max & Katie
What do you think? Were you bummed that a consistent team like Pam & Winnie were eliminated when, twice in the last few weeks, two other teams earned a reprieve? Were you unnerved by just how much a bleating goat sounds like the cry of a terrifying human child? Do you think we will every truly know Anthony? Stuff to ponder as we wait for next week's episode. See you then!

Comments On May 01, 2014:I look at this product as cheap insurance...buy a couple of rotors and I think you'll agree. I have used this one for over a year and had these on my other bikes. If you ride around rocks this is a must. Enduro Engineering products have always been top notch in my opinion, I will continue to buy their products.

UPDATE: 10:48 a.m.
Do you see any familiar faces? Can you help local law enforcement find who they're looking for? If you do - we want you to call Crime Stopper at 419-255-1111. We'll have someone on the phones all day, taking your tips and passing them onto detectives.
From the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., WTOL 11 will be in the call center as tips come in. You'll get to see inside the call center as a Toledo Police Officer monitors the line and relays those tips to the task force.
Then, our cameras will be rolling as we ride along with US Marshals, looking for anyone on this "Most Wanted" list.
Investigative reporter Ashley James has been working closely with local authorities to create a hot list - but we're counting on the public's help to call in clues to give them what they need to find these guys and make some arrests.
The goal is to get the word out about these suspects in hopes someone who has seen them will call in with tips. Marshals tell us many people may not realize these people in our community are wanted and could be putting you and your family in danger.
We sat down with Deputy U.S. Marshal Alex Rutter, who tells us any piece of information can be helpful and it's important to call the tip line right away if you know anything. He explains, "I think what people don't realize is sometimes the smallest tips is what kind of connects the pieces and puts the puzzle together for us."
Get more info on the Top 3 fugitives on Toledo's Most Wanted list here.
The CrimeStopper tipline can be called at any time of day or night. Toledo Police say many of the people who want to take action are close to the criminal and fear retribution. CrimeStopper ensures your safety by allowing you to remain anonymous. You could also be eligible for a cash reward.
If you have any information that could help lead to the arrest of anyone you see featured on air or online, call CrimeStopper at 419-255-1111.

15. Maradona
He may be 51 but the legend of El Diego lives on. The FIFA player of the century and PUMA icon still inspires players and fans alike thanks to the incredible style and swagger with which he played the beautiful game. Just 1.65 metres in height, Maradona made a habit of achieving the impossible in his playing career. Whether it was winning Serie A with Napoli or the World Cup with Argentina, he had a superhuman ability to drag up entire teams with him to incredible heights. The scorer of the FIFA Goal of The Century in the 1986 World Cup finals, he dribbled half the length of the pitch with just 11 touches, taking him past five England players before beating the keeper. The father-in-law of fellow PUMA star Sergio Agüero continues to inspire hero worship to this day and in Rosario, Argentina, locals have even set up a Church of Maradona, which according to its website has tens of thousands of members worldwide.
14. Spectacular Free Kicks
Nobody in football is more magical than the dead ball specialist. Like sporting Harry Potters they conjure incredible tricks with their wand-like boots. Think of Paul Gascoigne's breath-taking 35 metre drive for Tottenham against Arsenal in the 1991 FA Cup semi-final or Sinisa Mihajlovic's unrepeatable hat-trick of free kick goals for Lazio against Sampdoria in 1998. But perhaps the most awe-inspiring wizardry of all time was Roberto Carlos's Banana Kick for Brazil against France in 1997 that appeared to defy the laws of physics due to a phenomenon scientists have named the 'spinning ball spiral'. Unleashed from Carlos's left foot, the ball hurtled past the wall towards the corner flag only to change its mind halfway and then bend itself improbably into the top right corner of the goal. To this day, that goal will hurt your brain every time you watch it.
13. Scoring On Your Debut
The true greats don't mess about. Sign them up and they will score; that's why they're paid the big bucks. They can handle the pressure of the transfer fee and the fan expectation. Just ask Sergio Agüero. When Manchester City purchased Kun for €45 million from Atlético Madrid in July 2011, that huge amount of money could have weighed heavily on his 23-year-old shoulders but there was no sign of tension when he made his debut in the 4-0 victory over Swansea City. Within just nine minutes of coming on as a substitute, the Argentine superstar had tapped in his first ever goal for the Citizens. He then went on to set up David Silva with a sublime chip before finishing off the game with a 25-metre wonder strike. Now that's how to announce your arrival!
12. Talking To Your Heroes on Twitter
Once upon a time it was only select journalists who ever got to speak to football's biggest names. They would interview our heroes and then we would have to wait days or weeks until the newspaper or magazine article was published before we could read it. That day has passed and now thanks to the Twitter we can find out what our favourite players think every day of the week. Just last week PUMA Football hosted a live Q&A with Falcao (@FALCAO) in which the Atlético Madrid hotshot answered questions sent in by his fans to @pumafootball. The result was an incredible interview in which the star revealed his dreams, what he'd be if he wasn't a footballer and what he planned to do for his birthday. Thanks to the wonders of Twitter all of us can now reach the stars.
11. El Clasico
You can't beat the feeling of a victory on derby day. When everything goes well for your team during those most crucial of matches, you get to not only enjoy the thrill of a win but also the pleasure of seeing your rivals distraught. It's quite simply a win-win situation. Of course, the most famous of all derbies is El Clasico: Real Madrid versus Barcelona. Fuelled by political differences and the controversial transfers of Brian Laudrup and Luis Figo, this game doesn't just divide Spain it divides the whole world. This season the two giants have met five times with Barcelona winning three and drawing twice with PUMA Football's Cesc Fabregas scoring with a diving header in Barca's 3-1 victory in December. According to official records the current all-time scores are Real Madrid 86 – 85 Barcelona, so there will be everything to play for when they meet again at the Camp Nou on April 22.

You will be able to buy the new blue v1.11 on 1st of March at your nearest participating INTERSPORT store.
Stay tuned for which stores will be selling the new v1.11 as we'll be telling you more soon.

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body's natural defense system. Without a strong immune system, the body has trouble fighting off disease. Both the virus and the infection it causes are called HIV.
White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. HIV invades and destroys certain white blood cells called CD4+ cells. If too many CD4+ cells are destroyed, the body can no longer defend itself against infection.
The last stage of HIV infection is AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). People with AIDS have a low number of CD4+ cells and get infections or cancers that rarely occur in healthy people. These can be deadly.
But having HIV does not mean you have AIDS. Even without treatment, it takes a long time for HIV to progress to AIDS—usually 10 to 12 years. If HIV is diagnosed before it becomes AIDS, medicines can slow or stop the damage to the immune system. With treatment, many people with HIV are able to live long and active lives.
What causes HIV?
HIV infection is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. You can get HIV from contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids.
HIV doesn't survive well outside the body. So it cannot be spread by casual contact such as kissing or sharing drinking glasses with an infected person.
What are the symptoms?
HIV may not cause symptoms early on. People who do have symptoms may mistake them for the flu or mono. Common early symptoms include:
Symptoms may appear from a few days to several weeks after a person is first infected. The early symptoms usually go away within 2 to 3 weeks.
After the early symptoms go away, an infected person may not have symptoms again for many years. Without treatment, the virus continues to grow in the body and attack the immune system. After a certain point, symptoms reappear and then remain. These symptoms usually include:
A doctor may suspect HIV if these symptoms last and no other cause can be found.
Treatment usually keeps the virus under control and helps the immune system stay healthy.
How is HIV diagnosed?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved tests that detect HIV antibodies in urine, fluid from the mouth (oral fluid), or blood. If a test on urine or oral fluid shows that you are infected with HIV, you will probably need a blood test to confirm the results. If you have been exposed to HIV, your immune system will make antibodies to try to destroy the virus. Blood tests can find these antibodies in your blood.
Most doctors use two blood tests, called the ELISA and the Western blot assay. If the first ELISA is positive (meaning that HIV antibodies are found), the blood sample is tested again. If the second test is positive, a Western blot will be done to be sure.
It may take as long as 6 months for HIV antibodies to show up in a blood sample. If you think you have been exposed to HIV but you test negative for it:
Some people are afraid to be tested for HIV. But if there is any chance you could be infected, it is very important to find out. HIV can be treated. Getting early treatment can slow down the virus and help you stay healthy. And you need to know if you are infected so you can prevent spreading the infection to other people.
You can get HIV testing in most doctors' offices, public health clinics, hospitals, and Planned Parenthood clinics. You can also buy a home HIV test kit in a drugstore or by mail order. But be very careful to choose only a test that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If a home test is positive, see a doctor to have the result confirmed and to find out what to do next.
How is it treated?
The standard treatment for HIV is a combination of medicines called highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Antiretroviral medicines slow the rate at which the virus multiplies. Taking these medicines can reduce the amount of virus in your body and help you stay healthy.
It may not be easy to decide the best time to start treatment. There are pros and cons to starting HAART before your CD4+ cell count gets too low. Discuss these with your doctor so you understand your choices.
To monitor the HIV infection and its effect on your immune system, a doctor will do two tests:
If you have no symptoms and your CD4+ cell count is at a healthy level, you may not need treatment yet. Your doctor will repeat the tests on a regular basis to see how you are doing. If you have symptoms or some other health problems, you should start treatment, whatever your CD4+ count is.
After you start treatment, it is important to take your medicines exactly as directed by your doctor. When treatment doesn't work, it is often because HIV has become resistant to the medicine. This can happen if you don't take your medicines correctly. Ask your doctor if you have questions about your treatment.
Treatment has become much easier to follow over the past few years. New combination medicines include two or three different medicines in one pill. Many people with HIV get the treatment they need by taking just one or two pills a day.
To stay as healthy as possible during treatment:
Learn all you can about HIV so you can take an active role in your treatment. Your doctor can help you understand HIV and how best to treat it. Also, consider joining an HIV support group. Support groups can be a great place to share information and emotions about HIV infection.
How can you prevent HIV?
HIV can be spread by people whether they know they are infected or not. To protect yourself and others:

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Newt Gingrich is wooing NASCAR voters.
As he charts a possible course to the Republican nomination, aides say Gingrich will paint frontrunner Mitt Romney as the candidate of the PGA golf tour while the former House speaker pursues the blue collar mantle of Dale Earnhardt.
It's a strategy that exploits the class warfare Gingrich professes to oppose. Still, it could pay dividends once the GOP race again swings South. Gingrich sees delegate-rich Texas as a firewall in April. But he must slog through more than 30 contests before that.

The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law Master of Laws (LL.M.) Program is designed for foreign lawyers who wish to advance their legal education in a stimulating academic environment. The College offers the dual advantages of a highly-regarded law curriculum at a major U.S. university and an LL.M. program of limited size that allows for individualized attention and support.
Two of the program's primary goals are to immerse foreign lawyers in a year of U.S. legal education and to foster interaction between American J.D. students and the LL.M. students. In large part this is accomplished by integrating the LL.M students into the J.D. curriculum, ensuring that both groups will benefit from the interaction and graduate from their respective programs well prepared to participate in an increasingly globalized world.
Moritz also offers a rich selection of student activities outside the classroom where LL.M. students may participate in the life of the College.
Ohio State's LL.M. program offers students an opportunity to select their courses from a rich and diverse curriculum. Students may choose a generalized study of U.S. law or may tailor their courses to fit specialized interests and career objectives. Students have an option to elect a concentration in Business Law, Criminal Law and Procedure, Intellectual Property and Information Law, International and Comparative Law, Labor and Employment Law, or Alternative Dispute Resolution, or they may design a customized concentration.
What We Are Looking For
The Moritz College of Law seeks LL.M. students who are motivated to obtain a rigorous, high quality U.S. legal education. But we are looking for more than simply academic excellence.
The LL.M. Admissions Committee is seeking individuals from a wide range of countries, with diverse legal backgrounds; we encourage the new law graduate to apply right along with the experienced law professor or practitioner. We strongly believe that diversity and differences in personality are critical to the dynamic and stimulating exchanges that are characteristic of the Moritz community.
The LL.M. class is purposely kept at a moderate size – about 45 students. This is a large enough class to create a diverse group from a variety of countries yet small enough to allow our staff to provide individual attention to our LL.M. students.
Since we are carefully looking for the right mix of individuals to accomplish the above goals, it is important that you present your strengths; profile your practical experiences, accomplishments and academic excellence; and give us insight into your goals for the future. We will carefully examine all the elements of your application package in an attempt to get to know you better.

Bowling Green Police are looking for two men they say may have been involved in an armed robbery near the Bowling Green State University campus Tuesday.
Police say two residents at an apartment complex at 524 North Enterprise Street were robbed at gunpoint around 3 p.m. Tuesday.
"I just heard a lot of stomping around, loud noises," explained Cameron Pool, who lives below the apartment that was robbed. "It's nothing unusual, so I just thought it was some regular, everyday thing."
Pool says an event like this proves it's important to always be aware of your surroundings.
"Keep your doors locked, you never can trust anyone, and no matter where you think you're safe, you might not be," he said.
Police say the three suspects fled from the apartment complex and have not been found.
BGSU sent an alert to their students, warning them of the men.
"If anyone ran into these guys when they're on the mission to get somewhere, they could have pulled the gun out and maybe fire a couple rounds off at them," Pool said.
Lt. Daniel Mancuso of the Bowling Green Police Department says robberies like this don't just occur during the school year.
"Obviously as the population is greater in Bowling Green, we have a greater chance of this type of call, but there's no specific time of year when we see a dramatic increase," he said.
Anyone with recognizes the men is asked to call Bowling Green Police at 419-352-2571.

Morning DiscussionLadies and gentlemen, I bid you good morning. Things are looking pretty good around here, there's a fresh contest going on so bring your best writing chops to the table. I haven't had many chances to gather friends up for Rock Banding, but I'm glad those cries of busted guitars are being addressed.
So with the holiday gaming rush finally in control, I think it's fair to look forward a skosh. Post what game or sequel would you like to see announced in the next year. Give a bit of logic, no one really needs to be told Madden 08, but some justification of it's existence would be nice. I'll randomly toss out a Left4Dead t-shirt to someone tomorrow.

By Amy LangeFox 2 NewsHAMTRAMCK, Mich. (WJBK) -- A 21-year-old rape victim left her Hamtramck home around 6:15 p.m. Thursday near Grand Haven and Woodland and was walking to the store to get some milk for her little boy when a man rode up on a bike behind her."I just heard a man ask me like 'why are you walking like you lost your best friend?' I didn't look up. I didn't do [anything]. He said, 'Turn around.'"She didn't turn around, but she heard him drop his bike and come at her."He grabbed me by my ponytail, like 'I said turn around.'""He told me if I scream or anything he's going to blow my head off. Close my eyes."He had a gun. He took her behind her house, shoved her up against a fence and forced her to perform oral sex on him. As if that wasn't bad enough, he wasn't done assaulting her yet."That's when I felt my ponytail just drop."That's right, her ponytail, her long hair gone just like that. She said he cut her hair right off and took it with him."He took my bra and my panties and my hair."She said the rapist told her not to move. She stood there naked in the cold hoping he was gone. Finally she grabbed her phone and called for help.The suspect is described as a black man in his twenties, light skin, thin mustache, wearing a skull cap, a hood and a blue jacket. He was riding a dark gray bike.The victim said he had a deep, raspy voice and reeked of beer."We have to do something because it's happening everywhere. Not just in Hamtramck, but everywhere in the city of Detroit, and it's young boys who [are] doing it. Like why?" said Monique, the victim's mother.Why and how do we stop it? Monique is warning women not to walk alone and asking anyone with information to call police right away."You want to look out and watch your surroundings everywhere, but there's somebody on a bike in Hamtramck that's raping young girls and everybody needs to be aware."

(Reuters) - Scares over the safety of China's chicken supply are taking a small bite out of McDonald's Corp's
Chinese authorities have cleared McDonald's and KFC owner Yum Brands Inc
The chicken scare "minimally impacted" McDonald's sales in China during the fourth quarter and continues to hurt business this year, Chief Executive Don Thompson said on a conference with analysts.
McDonald's sales at established restaurants for China fell 0.9 percent during the fourth quarter.
"We are committed to ensuring the highest food safety and quality standards are met around the world," Thompson said.
Earlier this month Yum apologized to customers in China over its handling of the scare, which is hitting sales in its biggest market.
Yum has more than 5,100 restaurants in China and is the largest Western restaurant operator in China.
McDonald's - the world's biggest restaurant chains by revenue - is rapidly building restaurants in China and has set a goal of having 2,000 in the country by the end of this year.

Polk County deputies have arrested and charged two girls with felony aggravated stalking after last month's suicide of Rebecca Sedwick. One of the girls allegedly told Rebecca to "drink bleach and die."
Deputies say the arrests were prompted by a weekend Facebook post. In a press conference Tuesday morning, Sheriff Grady Judd cited a post from the 14-year-old girl that said, in summary, that she knows her bullying led to Sedwick's suicide, and she didn't care.
That post was "liked" by more than 30 people.
The sheriff's office charged that 14-year-old and Sedwick's former best friend, who is 12.
"We decided, look, we can't leave her out there," Judd said of the arrest. "Who else is she going to torment? Who else is she going to harass? Who is the next person she verbally and mentally abuses and attacks?"
Judd said the girls face felony charges because of Sedwick's age. Though Florida has adopted a bullying law, Judd said the sheriff's office was not likely pursuing any other charges against the girls.
"If we can find any charges we can bring against their parents, we will," Judd did say.
Judd also said he released the names and pictures of the girls because they're accused felons, and that is their policy. FOX 13 is not releasing their names or pictures because they are minors.
The 14-year-old is accused of leading the bullying, which started over a boyfriend.
Sedwick's mother has said her daughter was bullied by people she knew before the girl took her own life.
Rebecca was just 12 years old. Her body was found inside a former cement company's compound in Lakeland. Her mother, Trisha Norman, says she was bullied at Crystal Lake Middle School, so she pulled her out and home-schooled Rebecca for a few months last year.
Then she sent her to Lawton Chiles Middle Academy this year.
Norman said her daughter seemed to love it, but the bullying followed her online. The girls, according to an affidavit, would tell her that she was ugly, worthless, and deserved to die.
Tuesday afternoon, Norman placed the blame for Rebecca's suicide with the Polk County school system, and law enforcement.
"They just didn't take it seriously enough. The school in particular didn't take it seriously enough," Trisha Norman said.
Norman said the school told Rebecca to ignore the bullying.
"Becca was told several times that she needed to adapt to her surroundings, that she needed to develop a thicker skin, she needed to ignore them. It's kind of hard to ignore when it follows you constantly and it's as relentless as what they were," Norman said.
The sheriff's office was looking into as many as 15 girls after the suicide last month. Judd said the kids' actions crossed the line of bullying.
There were also physical confrontations where, according to witnesses, Sedwick would not fight back and walk away, the sheriff's office said.
The two girls were arrested Monday evening and booked into the Juvenile Assessment Center, deputies said. They were released the same evening into their respective parents' custody and remain on home detention.
The Associated Press contacted the 14-year-old's father in Lakeland and told the AP "none of it's true."
"My daughter's a good girl and I'm 100 percent sure that whatever they're saying about my daughter is not true," he is quoted as saying.
The girls were released from the Polk Juvenile Assessment facility Monday evening into home detention.
They made their first appearances in court Tuesday. The 14-year-old was taken back into custody; the 12-year-old was released into home detention.
The sheriff said he hopes to see the accused girls go through a treatment program, as well as lose their right to use social media.

About Preserve
Preserve makes stylish, high performance, eco-friendly products for your home. As a company, they strive to combine socially and environmentally responsible business practices with groundbreaking design to create products that people feel good about having in their homes. They believe that choosing eco-friendly products doesn't mean having to sacrifice quality, price, or performance.
In 1996, founder and president Eric Hudson was committed to the need to use our earth's resources more efficiently and responsibly. The developing plastic recycling market represented a great new opportunity to reuse our earth's resources (plastics are made from oil and natural gas—making up roughly 9% of the world's petroleum usage).
However, at the time that Preserve was formed, there was a lot of concern that recyclables were not necessarily turning into new products. Seeing an opportunity, Eric started Preserve to reuse Earth's precious resources and turn them back into products that people wanted. He worked with dentists, scientists and engineers to create Preserve's first high-quality product from recycled plastics—the Preserve Toothbrush. Since then, Preserve has grown into a dynamic, green lifestyle company offering a range of everyday products for almost every room in your home. Using innovative methods, we turn used materials into razors, colanders, cutting boards, tableware and more!
As Preserve grows, their core principles remain the same:
The Preserve team is made up of 11 people and a host of talented interns who bike, walk, train, and drive (some in hybrid cars) to the office outside of Boston intent on bringing Preserve and our mission into more homes everyday.
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Those are the principles that have driven their company since 1996 and that motivates them to encourage more households to choose our 100% recycled and recyclable products over conventional products.Their plastic products are made from #5 polypropylene plastic collected from individuals via their Gimme 5 program and from companies like Stonyfield Farm. They take this plastic, sort it, clean it, test it, recycle it, and turn it into new Preserve products.
Choosing Preserve Plastic (in the form of a toothbrush or razor, for example) means a sizeable reduction in greenhouse gases emitted, and significantly less water, energy, oil, natural gas, and coal used in making plastic.
These numbers were derived from average data for the US, so there are likely differences between Preserve's specific recycling processes and the industry average. There are many assumptions involved when calculating environmental impact, such as machine efficiency, the types of trucks used to transport the plastic to be recycled, and how full those trucks are. Preserve reduced these numbers by 20% for Preserve Plastic to account for these differences. Preserve is confident in these numbers since their recycling process is founded on their steady and reliable recycled polypropylene stream.

I have a major dislike for the Yankees. I hate that they can buy any player that they want, I hate how the fans are always saying we don't buy championships, and I hate that they have 27 championships and the Brewers have 0. One thing I will never hate about the Yankees is Derek Jeter. He played the game the right way. No PED's, no scandals, just had a love of baseball and was an incredible ambassador of the game. I will be sad to see him go. Let me take you way back with a clip of Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams from Seinfield in the mid 90's.

Arians are daring and bold, the go-getters of the Zodiac. They like to run the show -- and they like to win! This quality might get them in trouble every now and again where money is concerned, but invariably, they'll wriggle out of it. It's action and adventure that the Ram craves, whatever the cost. With the world as their oyster, Arians will purr like a cat. Bottom line: the Rambo of the boardroom has arrived!
The Ram doesn't spend much time thinking about getting rich, since it's the journey that matters, not the end result. Moving their agenda forward is top priority, even if the agenda isn't fiscally sound -- hey, it's THEIR agenda! Oftentimes, money to Arians is nothing more than the 'currency' which will enable them to get what they want. Are those born under this Sign security conscious? Rarely, since that would be no fun. Don't expect a nest egg from an Arian, someone who would much rather have a job that paid a fair day's wage and not much more so long as it came with freedom and flexibility.
Even so, the Ram loves to spend and is the dream of marketers. 'Such a deal!' they'll exclaim. 'I'll take ten.' This kind of behavior could wreak havoc on the checkbook, and to make matters worse, Arians are loathe to balance accounts! Arians would be well-served to save for a rainy day, but they probably won't.
Should you loan the Ram money? Not if you expect to be repaid promptly. The flip side of this, however, is that if Arians have a couple of bucks on hand, they'd be more than happy to lend them to you.
