Cleveland Kidnapping Suspects Revealed: Brothers Held Girls Captive For 10 Yearsby Free Britney at . Comments
The identities of the three men taken into custody for abducting Amanda Berry and two other women more than a decade ago have been revealed.
Authorities arrested Ariel Castro, 52, and his brothers, Pedro Castro, 54, and Onil Castro, 50, who officials believe assisted their brother.
Amanda Berry, 27, Georgina "Gina" DeJesus, 23, and Michele Knight, 32, all vanished in separate incidents near their Cleveland homes from 2002-2004.
Incredibly, the three missing women were found alive last night.
Berry escaped from Ariel Castro's home about 6 p.m. with the help of neighbor Charles Ramsey. She called police, who rescued DeJesus and Knight.
Castro was an unassuming man, a former school bus driver who liked playing with children, and loved music and his bass guitar, according to friends.
He was also skilled at keeping a dark side hidden, said his uncle, who lived down the block from his home where three missing women bolted to freedom.
"Nobody in the neighborhood or in the family could imagine that something like this would happen," Julio Castro told ABC News following the arrest.
Juan Alicea, a relative of Castro, said the suspect was intensely private and kept his social life outside of his home - clearly for this exact reason.
"He'd never have anyone come over," Alicea said. "He'd never had [a] social life unless they were outside on the porch or something, as far as I know."
Cleveland Deputy Police Chief Ed Tomba said at a news conference today charges would be filed within 36 hours of the three suspects' arrests.
It was not immediately known what charges the men could face or what roles the brothers allegedly played in the crimes against the three captives.
To say the least, the community is stunned.
In a good way, that the girls (now young women) are alive and in relatively good health, and in a bad way, that this awfulness all went down close by.
Charles Ramsey, the neighbor who helped Berry break free when he heard her cries for help, said he'd barbecued with Castro and never suspected anything.
"He just comes out to his backyard, plays with the dogs, tinkering with his cars and motorcycles and goes back in the house," Ramsey said Monday.
"Sometimes you look and then you look away because he's not doing nothing but average stuff. Ain't nothing unusual about him. Well, until today."
These guys don't age well
Talk about racism. Here we have 3 Latinos that kidnapped 3 Caucasian girls and held them for how many years and you guys want to talk about color. What is wrong with you. Look outside your little box you live in and be happy these ladies are alive no matter what color they are. You're just showing how ignorant for even comparing this to a milk carton. These ladies are someone's children who lost many years without them. Color has nothing to do with it. Stop playing the race card and open up your heart to someone who has been kidnapped and found alive. Be happy for the families who've looked for their children. One of the parents of the ladies that was kidnapped died of a broken heart for God Sakes. You may not know what it is like to lose a child. However I do. I miss her everyday and some days seem unbearable and like the world is never ever going to be the same. However you think this all has to do with color or race. Shame on you. Don't judge be respectful during this time of hope. These women will have to live through this the rest of their life. Especially the one who has a child with a child molester. One day maybe there will be no more pointing fingers at color and religion etc. till then I pray your minds open to see the bigger picture. My prayers go out to these families and these brave women and this awesome neighbor who just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Prayers do come true. I wish mine did too.
I agree with you. And I'm sorry for your loss. The child that's 6 will have to later on in life learn about her father and what he did to her mother. Just imagine how this child will have to live her life knowing this. And all this time those women lost that they can never get back. Its a good thing they are alive though.
Sick ass men! I say cut their penis off and shoved it down their throat. And that still wouldn't be enough compared to what those girls went through. Look how nasty these men look. They probably did what they did because they couldn't find a woman. Hope they rot in jail
Oh look, it's Larry, Curly and Moe fucked up...I hope these sorry evil child molesting cocksuckers gets life without the possibility of parole. And I hope whoever fathered Amanda's child has to pay extra for everything sick and twisted he's ever done...Personally, I feel he needs to have his dick and testicles removed. But hey, that's just me.
And then paraded around with a dig collar & leash
Amen to that!
Wow ! This is more than scary...it really points up classicism. Rich, young, pretty blondes Do seem to have much more press than poor people...or am I confused ?
My comment below was also directed at you Racist fuck...How about this one? Why don't three girls from your family get kidnapped so we can see what kind of coverage it gets..Or would you rather it be someonelse's...INSECURE SELFISH PRICK.
Give me a break!!!! That is just the height of insensitivity!!!!! Tell me you aren't really that mean.
Nope, you are in fact correct. Very rarely do we ever hear about little children of color who make it back home alive after being kidnapped, let alone hearing so much as an amber alert on one...let's face facts here, this society that we live in is very much a whitewashed society. Where the damsel in distress are almost always portrayed by caucasians and never hear mention of the little black and brown girls that go missing. That's some kind of society for ya wouldn't you say!
Yo asshole, so your saying basically who the fuk cares about these girls or what they went through because they're blond or white..Is that what your saying? And where the fuk does it say that they're rich (like all white people are rich)...Also one of the victims is HISPANIC but you wouldn't know that cause your too busy trolling news stories looking for some Tit for Tat to make your insecure ass feel better..LOSER! Its people like you that are the problem in this country...Can't even show compassion for victims cause of his own insecurities...Just remember KARMAS A BITCH!!..Its your punk ass that might be on the helpless end looking for someones compassion one day. Racist bastard!
It has nothing to do with These men being Hispanic, it has to do with these men being awful people in general, DO NOT make it a racial agenda on their part. There are men of every ethnicity that do things like this every day and its sickening.
IMPOTENCE ruled that family.
We see more and more young girls and women taken and abused by Hispanic men, sometimes very young girls as young as 8 or 9. Women and girls disappear in Honduras every single day. There is news that it also happens in other countries south of the US border too. There is something in a culture that grows in that is seriously sick. Praying for any woman growing up in that culture.
So true...
Maybe he has a valid point....maybe you can't see it because you are so close to it in terms of being hispanic yourself..unless I'm mistaken please correct me. But if he's willing to say that then I'll go ahead and say that there are some sick and twisted ass black men out there too who do messed up shit like this, remember when that guy from Jamaica had all of his daughters locked up in a sex dungeon and was made,to bare his own grandkids? Remember that, well I do, it was featured on Americas most wanted. And the caught his nasty ass too. He got life I believe. So Jose, it just goes to show you that all fucked up folks come in all shapes creeds and social economic statuses what have you....it's not racist if crazy comes in ever color...just saying! Take care though. By the way, I'm black...
This has nothing to do with RACE, there are men from all over the country from all over the world that do things like this and it is NOT OKAY in any case. People like you make it a race thing when you throw your ignorance out there. What about Charles Manson, Dean Corll, Amy Archer-Gilligan, Ed Gein, Ted Bundy? The list goes on and on! These were all white men some were EDUCATED white men what about that culture? These people did far more sick things and you want to make it a culture thing? PLEASE STOP BEING SO IGNORANT!
What are u talking about?Are u serius u racist

Pepsi: Innovating and Generating Growth in Emerging Markets
Joseph is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Pepsi (NYSE: PEP) almost tripled its business from $8 billion in 2006 to $22 billion in 2011 annual net revenues in emerging markets. In 2012, Pepsi is also looking for growth abroad, removing the need to rely solely on sluggish developed markets; without forgetting to continue the process of innovation in these developed markets as well. They are creating new and unique products and getting into new niche markets in developed countries. Let's take a look at two new exciting possibilities for the company in Japan and China.
Product innovation in Japan:
Want to add more fiber to your diet? Lower cholesterol and block out fat? Apparently Pepsi wants to help customers combat obesity and is pushing their new product, Pepsi Special, in Japan. Pepsi Special will contain "dextrin" which is said to block fat by preventing the digestive system from absorbing it. The fiber molecule dextrin is the main ingredient in Pepsi's new cola that the Japanese government has now deemed "food for specific health use." Pepsi is entering a market for dextrin soda that was formerly occupied solely by Japanese brand Kirin Mets Cola.
Kirin Mets Cola gained clearance by the Japanese government for being a "food for specific health use" first, and according to the company, they topped 50% of their annual sales goal in just two weeks- selling 1 million cases. The dextrin soda market in Japan could be lucrative for Pepsi, and they are entering it when there is only one serious competitor.
Setting up and strengthening shop in China:
On Nov. 12, Pepsi opened its largest resource center in China, in a move to continue their focus on emerging market growth. The company is aiming at Coca-Cola's (NYSE: KO) throat in China, looking to steal some market share away by forming a strategic alliance with Chinese company Tingyi. If successful, the deal should boost Pepsi's market share in the soda business in China significantly. According to Bloomberg, the partnership will create the largest beverage company in China, with a 1.5 to 1.6 lead in market share. PepsiCo Chief Executive Officer Indra Nooyi commented on the partnership, stating:
"Between us, we will basically cover the entire country and have over 70 plants between the two of us in China... So I think going into 2013 and forward, this business is going to look very, very good."
Sales in China should help generate and drive earnings for Pepsi, and the new partnership increases their Chinese footprint significantly.
Pepsi may have found a new niche market in Japan that will provide them a new and unique potential source of growth. If Pepsi Special catches on in Japan, it could be huge in the United States. If people think they are able to drink cola and be healthy at the same time, it is likely that they will drink more of it then unhealthy regular soda- especially if it tastes the same. Even more so if it is touted as something that will help with obesity, which is a big time problem in the U.S.
Pepsi's new cola also has the potential to skirt around government regulators like Michael Bloomberg, who want to curb obesity by banning soda- specifically sugary drinks over 16 ounces. Pepsi may have the next big thing on their hands, and I wouldn't be surprised if Coca-Cola came out with a competing product if the dextrin soda becomes a hit and doesn't have potential side effects that could hurt the dextrin fiber's reputation as a "health" ingredient.
The company is also expanding their operations in China, which will help Pepsi further capitalize on emerging market growth in the future, as well as continue to remain competitive with Coke. At the end of their last quarter, the company reported a decline of 13% in emerging and developing market net revenue. This was primarily due to "beverage refranchisings in China and Mexico" and this decline should turn into an increase in future earnings as business gets settled in these countries and begins to pick up- especially in China.
Valuation wise Pepsi looks fairly valued, especially when considering its dividend yield, which is slightly over 3% and capable of generating a good stream of income.

Harris argued with Reverend Robert Waldrop over the "Gay Freedom Train's stop in Ogden. See related story, page 3. Photo by Rod Boani. Senate investigates costs of text books at WSC The WSC bookstore is a nonprofit organization, yet, according to Scott Adamson, ASWSC Academic Vice President, it had a net profit of $45,000 last year. Adamson said that a study of over 200 titles state-wide showed that the cost of test books at Weber is 20 to 50 per cent higher than anywhere else in the state. As a result of these discrepancies the 1979-80 ASWSC Academic Senate . set the investigation into the high cost of textbooks as one of its first priority goals. Action has now been taken to the student Executive Council with resolution 80-1. This resolution calls for faculty cooperation in keeping textbook costs down and adherence to current WSC policy WEBER STATE COLLEGE Weber State College Ogden, Utah a r """"'J",!l" " - -v- ! 1 1 I 1 1 'f W fi? on textbooks. The policy calls for minimizing textbook costs, using common texts for classes with multiple sections, making expensive texts available to students in the library, giving official notice of any requirement changes available to the bookstore and the Signpost, and also the posting of a list with the required texts in the bookstore. Adamson said the resolution was issued to encourage President Brady to issue a memorandum to the faculty, for "there just isn't professor awareness. Several sections of the policy they're ignoring." The Academic Senate is investigating the book lease program currently in use at the University of Wisconsin as a n October 12, 1979 possible alternative at Weber. Adamson says the lease program allows students to lease a book at the beginning of the quarter but they also would have the option to buy. Another possibility being looked at is establishing a reserve library holding all the texts in use on campus. This would be set up with student funds and donations. A third option, on which Adamson says there is no research available as yet, is a student-run bookstore cooperative. . "Hopefully we'll see the wheels in motion before the year is over. It is not a simple process," he said. "We'd like to maintain a proper balance between academic excellence and frugality." 1 Employees speak out against firing By Beverly Taggart Editor's Note: this is the first of a two part series or Skills Center North. Why were employees at Skills Center North told there was no immediate danger of personnel cuts, and then two weeks later, 22 people were terminated at the center? Center Director Brent Wallis said the obvious reason why 22 people out of 90 had to go was no money. "What has happened was there was a reduction in federal funding in excess of $150,000," he said. "And on top of that, there was Gov. Matheson's 4 percent budget cut order." Before the terminations, Acting Supervisor Michael Bouwhuis, said management at the center told him there was no danger of personnel cuts because Skills Center North is a part of Weber State College, and the college was going to cut their budget 4 percent. "They had expressed to me there was not going to be any budget cuts," he said, "so I went into a staff meeting and told the employees that no one would be laid off. But then two weeks later, 22 people lost their jobs. I don't know what happened.' Director Wallis said, "I don't know what he's talking about." when asked, to explain further Wallis again said he didn't know what Bouwhuis was talking about, and suggested the acting supervisor say who in management told him there would be no layoffs. When Bouwhuis was contacted again, he then said the information he had first given was "inaccurate" and what he had really told the employees during the staff meeting as there would be terminations as a result of the governor's budget cut order. However,' employees who were terminated last month said during the staff meeting Bouwhuis did say there was no immediate danger of personnel cuts. They also expressed concern because they say that the termination process was unfair and there "still is a lot of unanswered questions." The only two counselors with master's degrees were laid off while counselors still at the center have bachelor's degrees. Charles Bennett, a counselor with a master's degree who was laid off, said he was terminated because of seniority but noted the selection process was "really strange." He said he was told during a staff meeting two weeks before he was laid off there "was no immediate danger of personnel cuts." "I don't think they have good Tickets go on sale today for the Nov. 3 Tom Scott concert in the Browning Center Austad auditorium. . The concert, sponsored by ASWSC and Creative Concerts, starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $6.50 and $7.50 with a $1 discount for students, faculty and staff. With I.D. Only tickets purchased at the Union Building information desk will receive this discount. Tickets are also on sale at Odyssey Records and Hill Air Force Base. management," he said. They are out to cover themselves. "No one will confront the director and all people hired at the center are yes men, which gets in the way of education." "When you surround yourself with yes men, you can't be productive," Bennett noted. "It's counter productive when management never changes and it's the kids who are suffering." Bennett said the administration refer to themselves "as a company" and "instead of helping the staff and the education, they're out to help the company." "They are more concerned with the company policy like it was a big business or something, instead of the educational aspect of the center," he added. Jean Oscilia, also a counselor with a master's degree who was terminated because of senority said she also attended the meeting when Bouwhuis said there was "no immediate danger of personnel cuts." "The director tried to get the college (WSC) to agree also to qualifications," she said. "But the college said that would be too tricky and it had to be the lowest people on the totem pole who had to go." "I think if there was any way possible, the director would have kept us on to add credibility to the school with well qualified employees," she added. However, the director said the center decided how and who would be terminated; not WSC. "The basic criteria for a counselor is one with a master's degree but it is not mandatory," he said. "When it comes between senority and qualifications, the fairest is senority,." Wallis explained the senority termination process was that of determination. "For example, the director continued, "the wielding staff consisted of three employees and one had to be let go on the basis of seniority even if someone in carpentry had less senority. It was a basis of need in each program and department with senority." Inside today Letters to the editor. . page 4 Sports page 6 Coming up . . . A feature on the Learning Center

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Said poster also once made an enemies list of Bendis boarders on his public facebook page and proceeded to slag them off publicly there as well, in addition to carrying a several year grudge against all Gailboarders, which he keeps up by slagging off on our current posts on other forums.
As a general rule, we consider them assholes. An IP ban would have to go through a Super Admin, probably Bendis himself.

U.S. farmers planted a record amount of corn acres in 2012, yet were far from record production due to the impact of the historic drought. As 2013 nears, chatter among the markets and in farm country is about the 2013 acreage mix.
Here's how USDA estimated acres among the main crops in 2012:
Jerry Gulke, president of Gulke Group and Top Producer columnist, thinks corn acres will be as big as or larger than what we did this year. "We talk about planting mixes, but in the Midwest, at least, we like to plant corn."
Because a lot of CRP acres have already been converted back to production acres, he says we may possibly have up to 1 million more acres of corn.
Dustin Johnson, a broker with EHedger, says his firm believes that both corn and soybeans will gain acres next year. "We see corn acres above 97 million and soybean acres at 79.5 million. Wheat acres could be down slightly at 56.9 million."
Johnson says new crop prices and subsoil moisture are the biggest factors affecting these numbers. "Input prices are skyrocketing and if the market doesn't hold we could see these numbers decline. The soybean-to-corn ratio still favors planting corn in many areas."
Bob Utterback, president of Utterback Marketing and Farm Journal economist, believes we'll see more of a regional situation for acreage mix. "When you look at central Indiana, northern Illinois, Minnesota and N.D. and S.D., I think they will be wall-to-wall corn."
Yet, in areas that were hit hard by the drought, such as Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, along with the southern edge of the Corn Belt, Utterback believes farmers will shift more to soybeans, or a wheat-bean double-crop.
Some of this switching will be more for agronomic issues. "This is the second year in a row corn-after-corn acres have greatly underperformed compared to corn-after-beans acres."

Veto Override Vote
You know better than most that the basic health and wellness of your students is vital to their learning successfully in school. The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) bill, H.R. 976, was vetoed by President Bush last week. On Thursday, Oct. 18, the U.S. House will try to override his veto, requiring a 2/3s majority of the present members voting in favor of the override. Contact your legislators today and ask that they vote in favor of the veto override! Go to the Federal Legislative Action center at http://capwiz.com/naesp/issues/alert/?alertid=10418706&PROCESS=Take+Action and scroll down to e-mail your representative.
Boomers in the Classroom
As the famed baby boomer generation reaches retirement age, many states are taking advantage of this population as a pool for school volunteers. Read about a former state-government employee who is spending her retirement years as a volunteer in a Baltimore elementary school in "States turn to seniors for help in classrooms".
Environmental Education: What Is Our Responsibility?
The author of the Speaking Out article in the November/December 2007 issue of Principal magazine has "a renewed sense of urgency" about environmental education and believes that it's the responsibility of school leaders to integrate it into the curriculum. In her article, Kendra Kecker asks, "If we are in an environmental crisis—which is becoming harder and harder to refute—doesn't it make sense ... to start educating children at a young age and instilling behaviors we're currently trying to change in adults?"
Do you think it's necessary to incorporate an environmental education program at your school? What kind of environmental projects and activities do your students do? Is it even a school's responsibility to teach students about how to care for the environment?
Proud to be a Principal
As we mentioned earlier this week, NAESP is running a Proud to be a Principal campaign through November 15. But we want to hear from you. Tell us, and your colleagues, why you're proud to be in a profession that impacts millions of students, thousands of teachers, and hundreds of communities.
Trumpet your successes and your role as a school leader and share your proud to be a principal moment here on the Principals' Office. If you want to learn more about the campaign or listen to a Proud to be a Principal sound byte, featuring NAESP's executive director Gail Connelly, visit www.naesp.org.
Where Are the Male Teachers?
The value of a racially diverse staff is a recurrent subject, but gender diversity is just as important. Stereotyping, low pay, and few mentors are among the reasons that the percentage of male teachers is at a forty-year low, according to Newsweek. This dearth is especially alarming given the evidence, however controversial, that teachers' gender affects student learning. Whatever your take on Thomas Dee's findings that "learning from a teacher of the opposite gender has a detrimental effect on students' academic progress," it is undisputable that children need strong male and female role models from an early age. In elementary schools, the problem is even more distinct, as male teachers number only nine percent.
Proud to be a Principal
NAESP invites you to let everyone know that you're PROUD TO BE A PRINCIPAL! From October 1—November 15, 2007, we encourage you to trumpet your successes and your role as a school leader. You play an important role in your community and the lives of the children you serve. Now is your time to shine! To get you started, below is a copy of the Principals' Creed. So stand tall, say the Principals' Creed aloud, and let everyone know how proud you are to be a principal.
Principals' Creed We are dedicated to ensuring that every child in Americareceives a quality education.
We care about our country by caring deeply about its children.
We believe that no barrier should separate a child
from the best education a school can offer...
that neither race nor sex nor ethnic heritage nor geography nor social or economic statusmay be used to deny a child the opportunity to acquirea solid foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics...in critical thinking...and in the values of friendship, compassion, honesty, and self-esteem,We accept the challenge of the research showing thatquality education in every school depends on the expertise, dedication, and leadership of the principal of that school.
Take a Stand on Behalf of Your Students
Jonathan Kozol, the award-winning author of The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America, is once again making quite the statement. He has been on a hunger strike of sorts since early July. The 71-year-old has lost about 29 pounds, bringing the 5-foot-9 inch education activist to a mere 132 pounds—all for the sake of America's schoolchildren. Kozol is protesting the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which is up for renewal this year. According to the Boston Globe, Kozol said he will continue his partial fast until Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy (a sponsor of the original bill) agrees to overhaul what Kozol called a punitive law that relegates urban schoolchildren to an inferior, stripped-down education and demoralizes teachers, who he believes are forced to teach to the test.
NAESP's reauthorization recommendations detail what the Association believes should be changed to make ESEA more effective and less punitive on the nation's schools. Learn how you can make your own statement by visiting NAESP's Federal Legislative Action Center. Lawmakers need to know how ESEA affects principals and their schools, so what better way is there other than to hear from principals themselves?
Get Moving
Celebrate the Cartoon Network's second annual National Recess Week (Sept. 24-28) by encouraging children to "get moving." Hold a schoolwide recess rally and invite parents and members of the community to participate. This year, elementary schools can register for the Rescuing Recess Volunteer Challenge and enter for a chance to win playground equipment and up to $25,000 in grants. Visit www.rescuingrecess.com for more information.
Avoid Serving Alphabet Soup to Parents
NCLB, AYP, IDEA, IEP—these are but a few of the numerous acronyms and abbreviations that principals and other educators use on a regular basis when discussing education. Throw in the district- or state-specific terms, such as the acronyms used for some state tests, and it's no surprise that many parents are scratching their heads when they see the alphabet soup all over school letterhead, or even in newspaper articles.
According to a recent Tennessean article, one school system provides a catalog of phrases for parents to learn as a way to help ease the possible confusion. It's no easy task for us to keep track of all the abbreviations, so make sure to keep that in mind when corresponding with your students' parents.
Above All Else, It's the People That Make a School Successful
Politicians can legislate benchmarks and teacher qualifications, but they cannot legislate effectiveness. That task is up to principals, according to Todd Whitaker, professor of educational leadership at Indiana State University. Whitaker, who speaks to approximately 250,000 educators every year, believes that regardless of the educational climate, great schools start with great people. Vision 2021 forecasts that principals will need to act as chief learning officers to lead great schools in the future.
Whitaker advises principals on how they can improve the effectiveness of their learning communities. They should aim to hire the best people and work to improve the ones they already have on staff. One of the best ways to do the latter is to create a culture where teachers learn from each other through informal, nonevaluative, peer observations. Educators are often isolated, and even feel threatened by the thought of being observed or being told to observe others. Whitaker believes principals can overcome this hurdle by starting with their best teachers and their new teachers. The best teachers are more confident in their abilities and more willing to work at their craft. The new teachers are the easiest to assimilate into a culture of peer learning. According to Whitaker, "The induction process begins during the interview," as principals inform candidates that peer observations are part of the school's culture.
Since principals generally come from the teaching ranks, they also may have an "independent contractor" mindset. Principals need to observe great principals to improve as well. "Unless a principal had great administrators as a mentor and teacher, she or he may have seen few examples of quality leadership," says Whitaker.

The shooting happened outside of Tracy Interfaith Ministries, 311 W. Grant Line Road, at around 1:15 p.m., according to Capt. Juan Espinoza of the Tracy Police Department.
It's unclear how it started, but two people — a man on a bicycle and a person inside of a GMC truck — allegedly fired several shots at each other, Espinoza said.
One person inside of the truck suffered at least one gunshot wound and was taken to the Sutter Tracy Community Hospital in the truck immediately after the shooting, Espinoza said at the scene.
Espinoza would not release a description of the man on the bicycle, but did say that initial reports indicate the shooting is an isolated incident.
"We have investigative tips that we got, and we are trying to stay ahead of him," he said. "We are going to put all the resources we have available to solve this. The safety of the community is paramount, but at this point, I don't believe the rest of the community is at risk."
At the hospital, three bullet holes could be seen around the passenger side door of the two-door truck. One bullet hole was visible in the windshield, and it appeared that the driver's-side window was shattered.
The holes were roughly the size of a quarter.
The truck has two exhaust pipes, a silver front bumper and chrome rims and windshield wipers.
Espinoza said information about how many shots were fired, who started the shooting and why it happened was unavailable because investigators were still collecting witness statements and evidence outside of Tracy Interfaith as of 2:30 p.m.
The victim's condition and how many times he was shot were not available, Espinoza said.
It's also unclear if the person wounded inside the truck was the second shooter.
Officers were checking the outside of the Tracy Interfaith building for bullet holes, but Espinoza could not confirm if any were located.
No other injuries were reported, Espinoza said.
Anyone with information about the shooting can report it anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 831-6847.

Tie me all up 'til it hurts!
Sometimes little girl just needed a spanking so she could feel better, and the world would be better. So she waited for Daddy to tuck her into bed.
"Who do you belong to?"
"You, Daddy."
"Say it."
"I belong to you, Daddy"
I tingle just remembering the tone of His voice when He says that.
I'm pretty sure I'm way too cute not to spank.
But Daddy? I'm way too cute to spank…..

Fach class costs $450; call 02(i ()r)Hi for infromation. By Maria Villasenor news editor The Signpost Students will need to act quickly to keep low interest rates on their student loans. Beginning July 1, interest rates will jump from 5.3 percent to 7.14 percent for Stafford loans. Rates for Stafford loans not being paid upon yet will increase from 4.7 percent to 6.74 percent. This increase follows a national trend of rising interest rates, but federal student loan interest rates cannot rise higher than the maximum of 8.25 percent, according to David Feitz, associate executive director at the Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority. Feitz recommends students contact UHEAA who already have Iking Alumni Association raises funds through golf tournament By David Fairchild editor in chief The Signpost The Weber State University Alumni Association presented it's annual golf tournament to help raise money for student scholarships despite stormy efforts by Mother Nature. For five years, the WSUAA has sponsored the event which is held at The Barn Golf Course located in Pleasant View. "It's become an event that people really like to participate in," said Becky Thompson, Alumni Center special events manager. Thompson said last year the golf tournament brought in more than $10,000 that went straight into scholarships for students. "We were able to help about 40 students last year with the money we raised from the golf tournament," Thompson said. That was last year, when the weather was nice and sunny and perfect for golf. This year, the skies were dark and gray whenT-time was supposed to start at 9 a.m. The weather postponed the competition for more than an hour for the 136 people who signed up to compete in 4 -man teams. "No one cancelled," Thompson said. "Everyone who signed up to play came and played." Fach person, who played in the tournament paid an entry fee. "It sort of depends on the people playing," Thompson said. "Some people like to play alone and some like to play in groups so they can pay anywhere from $ 1 25 to $500 to play." the Stafford loans should lock in their current loan rates before the interest increases kicked next month. "It really is something that can save them thousands on the interest of their student loans," Feitz said. Students are required to start paying back their Stafford loans six months after they have graduated. If a student does not graduate and takes less than 12 credit hours, payments are required three months after their last full-time semester. It's in those first months of payment, when students might not have work yet, that Feitz said low interest rates really make a difference. Feitz said consolidating through UHEAA won't cost students any fees, and that if they decide to pay off their loans sooner than they are required,' there are no penalties for that. Students can apply for a federal Stafford loan, which have lower interest rates than other loans, through Weber State University's financial aid. On each student portal, accessible through pepe.weber.edu, students can apply for a loan and review their loan status by checking the financial aid tab. Before the student loans can go through and be used to pay for tuition, a student must V w tor Some people might find $500 a bit expensive to play golf in the rain, but that's not necessarily true for those who participated in Friday's tournament. "The weather didn't even seem to bother anyone," said Kelly Woodland, a Golf-Pro professional for The Barn. "We were afraid that we might have to cancel the game, but then we started to see a break in the weather and Weber just did their thing." Woodland said the WSUAA open is one of the largest events of the year that The Barn hosts. "You see a lot of the people with big names come out of everywhere to be here for this event," Woodland said. "It's just a nice big event here. Everyone comes out and everyone has fun." The event started with a breakfast, offered lessons from a golf professional and gave golfers a chance to work on their driving skills. "The people really like being able to come into an evironmcnt like that and enjoy themselves for a day, while helping contribute to helping students with scholarship money," Thompson said. Woodland said that people enjoy the event each year because it's fun and organized. "People win prizes at every hole," Woodland said. "The alumni really just make the whole day fun for golfers.

WSU poet gets national honors By Amber Hall sr. news reporter The Signpost Hannah New graduated this May from Weber State University as an English major and is already putting herself on the map. When Brad Roghaar, WSU english professor, talked her into entering the 2006 College University Level Poetry Awards competition she said she thought, "Oh, I'll just do it to please him." In New's case, it paid off to try and please her professor. Of the entire nation, only two undergraduates were awarded this honor and she was one. As a winner of the Florence Kahn Memorial Award, New was awarded $500 and given 75 copies of her manuscript, as well as a traveling stipend to attend the National Federation of State Poetry Society's annual convention. New was invited to read her manuscript in the June-8-11 convention in San Antonio. Her manuscript consists of the 10 poems that she wrote and submitted in January. New found out about these contests though one of her WSU English professors, Brad Roghaar. She said that he is the one to blame, or perhaps the one to thank, for getting her involved in the competition. New said Roghaar was the biggest influence in her entering the contest. He had encouraged her to enter last year, but it was another WSU student who placed third in the competition. It wasn't overnight that New became a nationally honored poet. She didn't start out wanting to write poetry, but over time was influenced by supportive and encouraging teachers. It was only when she was graduating from WSU with a creative writing emphasis that she really got to see the fruits of her labor by winning this national poetry competition. New started writing poetry when attending Northern Virginia Community College. She needed some elective credits and signed up for a class with English Professor Robert C. Kilmer. It was then, with help and encouragement from this teacher, that she started writing. "I guess he saw something that I didn't and he really encouraged me," New said. After transferring to WSU, another professor pushed on her journey to becoming a national poet. The NFSPS has specific contests for school-aged childrenand undergraduates, as well as competitions for anyone interested in poetry. Each year, the NFSPS awards more than $6,000 in cash prizes. The organization is non-profit and focuses on educational and literary purposes. The NFSPS has brought poets together from all over the nation. NFSPS was established in 1959 by Mary B. Wall in Louisiana. Since then, they have had yearly conventions and currently have 50 different competitions and contests in which poets and aspiring poets, both young and old, can participate.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Source: HollywoodReporter - One year after the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake, how Sean Penn, Paul Haggis, Maria Bello and their friends are still fighting for Haiti's survival amid unspeakable horror… SEE MORE PHOTOS HERE
"There's a great thing Paul Newman said about his long marriage," he says wryly. " 'As it turns out, we still love each other.' That's how I feel: 'As it turns out, I'm still here.' "
If he seems perpetually tired, who can blame him? He's ordering supplies, arranging funds, supervising staff and figuring out what to do if a hurricane hits, as it almost did just weeks ago. Deep gashes of sleep deprivation line his face. His eyes seem half-closed with fatigue. And yet he keeps on going, chain-smoking his American Spirits like lifesavers."He's crazy," says one of his volunteers. "He's a genius," says another.
Recently, after spending most of his time in Haiti, he has started to take breaks, alternating a few days in Malibu with a few days here. He's also taken several weeks to shoot a film, This Must Be the Place. But always, he returns.
He speaks of a future when he might leave the camp in others' hands, then wavers. On some level, he belongs here. "Let's face it," he admits, as the daylight begins to fade, "I'm a person that feels pretty alienated from the rest of the world and never felt understood by anyone..."
It's night now. As we stroll through the camp one last time, bathed in newly installed lighting, pools of brightness intersecting with the dark, half-seen figures loom out of the shadows — children carrying pails of water, a woman nursing her baby. "Bonsoir!" a man calls happily from behind the flap of his tent. "Bonsoir," Penn replies. The man has no idea this is a movie star. And no idea of the sacrifice it's cost him to help.
But Penn knows the difference he's made. And knowing this means he's stuck here. Forever. "There's no end point," he says, drained to the point of collapsing. "This is where I'll be when I'm not working, for the rest of my life."

Last night the annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund dinner was held in NYC. Billy Reid, an Alabama based designer, was granted the dream of a $300,000 grant and a mentorship with a leading industry designer. I was surprised Prabal Gurung, who was a runner up, didn't win the top award. Regardless, so many fabulous and fabulously dressed people were in attendance. While on the red carpet, Carey Mulligan got the phone call to play Daisy Buchanan opposite of Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby in Baz Luhrmann's addaptation of The Great Gatsby. Rumor has it, she burst into tears at the news.
EEK! Carey AND Leo AND The Great Gatsby. This will SURELY be my new favorite movie! The anticipation! Favorite actor. Favorite up and coming actress. One of my favorite books. Absolute dream.

Essence of class- Miss Diane Von Furstenberg.

In other dreams…Kate Middleton was granted quite the dream of her own. The royal couple officially announced their engagement, meaning that one day, the middle-class-born Middleton will surely be the queen of England. If that's not a fairy tale, I dare you to tell me what is.
I would love to see her in an Oscar de La Renta couture gown. Time will tell. But oh, how exciting!
