Carrying on the premises of schools or institutes of higher education
House Bills 223, 1142, 1896, 1077, 1078, and 1313; Senate Bill 17
Institutes of Higher Learning:The hot topic of "campus carry" is back after almost passing last legislative session. HB 1077 would not allow campuses of institutes of higher education to prohibit the storage or transportation of a firearm in a locked, privately owned vehicle in a street, driveway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area. Another bill, HB 1078, would allow the possession of a concealed handgun by CHL holders on the premises of the campus, or on the grounds on which an activity sponsored by the institution is being conducted. HB 1313 would prevent campuses from adopting rules or regulations that prohibit license holders from carrying on campus, though they could still regulate dormitories owned by the institution on campus. In our opinion, why should institutes of higher learning not be protected by good people who have a CHL? Why should our university and college students be more vulnerable than folks at the shopping mall?
We at Texas Law Shield believe that the ancient philosophy that, "one sword keeps another in the sheath," still applies today; that even the mere presence of citizens who may be carrying concealed at schools could deter potential ne'er-do-wells.
One bill, HB 223, would allow members of the school board or the superintendent to carry a handgun, with a CHL, on school premises during a school board meeting. Under the authority of HB 1142, schools could offer firearm safety or training, or history of firearms electives to students in 9th grade or above.
In contrast, HB 1896 would allow some people to carry on school campuses, but would impose stricter requirements for school employees with a CHL, and permission from the school board to carry on the school premises.Approved school employees would also have to go through a firearms training program set forth by the DPS. Senate Bill 17 would also require a TxDPS created training program, with the class being free for two school district employees who work at a campus where there is no full time security, but requiring that the class fee be paid by the school itself for any additional school district employees. While this appears to be a positive thing, it could have the consequence of discouraging schools with tight budgets that wanted to allow teachers with CHLs to carry concealed on campus, but cannot because of the cost of the training.
Proposed Modifications to Concealed Handgun License Requirements
House Bills 47, 48, 2759; Senate Bills 858 and 864
House Bill 47 and Senate Bills 858 and 864, look to reduce the length of concealed handgun license classes from ten hours to four hours. Another bill, House Bill 48, would eliminate classes entirely for those renewing their licenses, opting instead for a series of forms and a fee. HB 2759, would reduce the fee to obtain a license to $95 (currently $140), with a renewal fee of no more than $70.
Recognition of Out-of-State Concealed Handgun Licenses
House Bill 38; Senate Bill 481
HB 383 would change the way Texas reciprocates concealed handgun licenses. Currently, Texas recognizes certain handgun licenses from other states. However, HB 383 would change the law; if an out-of-state license holder has a domicile in Texas, then their license is no longer recognized, and they must apply for and obtain a Texas CHL. Senate Bill 481 also follows this approach. To clarify, this would apply to any out-of-state handgun license holder who has a domicile in Texas whether they move into Texas or already live here; their license would no longer be valid and such people would have to apply for a Texas CHL.
House Bill 333
Currently, hotels may have TPC §30.06 notices hidden away in their policies in sections regarding carrying firearms on their premises. HB 333 would require hotels to tell its guests up-front of such policies prior to booking the room, and to receive an affirmative acknowledgement of their firearm policy. In other words, they couldn't hide a 30.06 notice in the second to last page of their impossible to find policy document without telling you about it.
Definition of Intoxication
House Bill 153
House Bill 153 seeks to finally define what the ambiguous word
"intoxicated" means in the weapons section of the penal code. It is an offense for a concealed handgun license holder to carry their weapon while they are intoxicated. Currently, the definition of intoxication for this section of the penal code is non-existent. In practice, District Attorneys have been applying the definition of intoxication from other sections of the penal code to make up for this lack of clarity (most commonly, they use the definition of intoxication from the DWI statute).
This bill aligns the weapon statute with current practices, reforming the weapons section definition to reference the more commonly known .08 alcohol concentration level, or "not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substance into the body."
New Firearm Related Offenses
House Bills 452 and 508; Senate Bill 1677
Enhancement To Punishment:HB 452 adds a crime of knowingly discharging a firearm at or in the direction of a habitation, building, or vehicle, with severity of the charge depending on whether you knew it was occupied (2nd degree felony) or were reckless as to whether or not it was occupied (3rd degree felony).
Local Governments:
HB 508 provides a punishable offense for any state or local government employee who with a reckless disregard for the truth provides notice to a CHL holder that entering or remaining on the governmental premises with a concealed handgun is prohibited, when it is actually not prohibited. We have actually seen a large number of local government employees attempting to do this exact thing. The punishment would discourage local governments from wantonly trying to kick CHL holders off of the property, requiring them to correctly adhere to the law before they ask you to leave.
Punish The Victim of A Crime:
Senate Bill 1677 would punish gun owners after they were a victim of a crime.
This ill-conceived law would create an offense for failure to report a lost or stolen firearm. If you fail to report within 48 hours after you knew, or should have known it, that your firearm was lost or stolen, then you have committed a Class C Misdemeanor (unless you have been convicted of this before, in which case, it is a Class B). Frankly, this is an impractical solution to a rather common sense problem. The law seeks to punish you because someone stole your tool.
Resistance by Texas to Federal Firearm Regulations
House Bills 553, 1314, and 1076
There was also a trend across a number of bills, as best illustrated by HB 553, to create an offense for any peace officer, state officer, public servant, or state employee who tries to enforce any laws of the U.S. Government relating to the confiscation of firearms, banning firearms, limiting the size of magazines, imposing ammunition purchasing limits, additional taxing of firearms or ammunition, or requiring registration of such. Likewise, HB 1314 prevents the seizure of firearms under federal law when such seizure would not be permitted under Texas law.
It appears that Texas is trying to protect its own from any possible backlash from the federal government against a so called "assault weapons" ban, or other overly restrictive firearms laws. HB 1076 takes a similar tact, that no state agency or employee can enforce federal statutes that regulate a firearm, accessory, or ammunition that does not already exist under Texas law. Another similar bill states that firearms, firearm accessories (magazines, for instance), or ammunition manufactured in Texas that haven't traveled outside of Texas are not subject to federal law or regulation (including firearm registration). There are some exceptions for certain types of guns (such as guns that fire more than one bullet with a single pull of the trigger), but overall it looks to shield guns made in Texas from the federal government.
While noteworthy that Texas representatives have taken a proactive stance in protecting our Second Amendment rights, these pieces of legislation are unfortunately symbolic or paper tigers. In other words, they would more likely than not be struck down by federal courts as conflicting with federal laws.
Expanding Where You Can Carry and Open Carry
House Bills 2381, 3218, 700, 1194, 1304, and 1030
Some bills seek to expand the places you can carry as a CHL holder. HB 2381 would alter TPC §46.03 to allow the carrying of a handgun on the premises of a polling place on the day of an election or while early voting is in progress, and on the premises of a pari-mutuel race track. It would also let you carry on the premises of a school, provided that there was no class in session, no students present, or no activities sponsored by the school being conducted. Likewise, HB 3218 would eliminate every restriction from TPC §46.035 except the prohibition of failure to conceal and carrying while intoxicated, therefore allowing a CHL holder to carry on the property of 51% alcohol revenue establishment, premises where a high school, collegiate, or professional sporting event is taking place, and any meeting of a governmental entity. It would also lower the punishment for the crimes of intentional failure to conceal and carrying while intoxicated to a Class C misdemeanor from a Class A, and a repeat violator would be a Class B misdemeanor instead of a state jail felony. It also provides that the threat of the use of force is sufficient justification for unconcealing your handgun.
Open Carry:
Two proposals look to allow legal open carry for those with a concealed handgun license. House Bill 700, as well as HB 1194, specifically provides that open carry would be legal provided it is in a shoulder or belt holster with at least dual points of resistance. What constitutes a "dual point of resistance" holster is not defined. Other bills have differing requirements on the holster, but the message of open carry is the same. House Bill 1194 also would change the criminal offense of failure to conceal by a license holder to intentionally display the handgun in a manner that threatens another, places another in fear of immediate bodily injury, or is calculated to alarm.
House Bill 1304 does not create an open carry status, but it does change the nature of failure to conceal. The current phrase of "intentional failure to conceal" would be changed to an "intentional display of the handgun." However, the statute is unclear as to how this substantively changes the current law by failing to define what constitutes a "display." On a positive note, the proposed law reconciles the "display" of a handgun with the use of force statutes by stating that the justification of use of force, not just deadly force, would be a defense to this crime. Currently, the statute limits justifiable failure to conceal to situations where the use of deadly force is justified.Display of a Handgun:
Not all of our legislators believe in your 2nd Amendment rights. There are some significant anti-gun legislative proposals.ANTI-GUN PROPOSALS
Anti-Gun Shows: House Bill 1030 would allow a county or municipality (or other political subdivision) to prohibit the sale of firearms on their property, thus having gun shows from your local civic center to a private revenue, which may or may not be available. Additional CHL Licensing Requirements
House Bill 3288 would require a drug test, at your expense, to receive or renew your concealed handgun license. Failing the drug test would lead to a rejection of your CHL application or renewal, requiring follow up tests (again, your own expense) or a hearing on request. One is left to wonder if such a program solves any real problems or creates a massive potential for abuse by such a system. To our lawyers it seems like this could be a nightmare of more government, huge expenses, and a reduction of individual freedoms.
Sale of Seized Weapons by Law Enforcement House Bill 1421; Senate Bill 343Assault Weapon and Large Capacity Magazine RegulationThere is a bill that would allow law enforcement agencies to sell seized weapons at public auctions. Only licensed firearms dealers could purchase these seized firearms at such an auction. The proceeds of the sale would go directly to the law enforcement agency. On its face this does not seem anti-gun, however consider the potential for abuse of your property rights. One might be left to wonder if this will be abused by anti-gun police agencies and officers as police could start seizing firearms and charging individuals with crimes, and then offering to dismiss charges if they are allowed to keep the firearm, all for the sake of generating revenue for the agency. Just look at the history of traffic tickets. This is provided for under HB 1421, and SB 343.
These bills take ridiculously extreme measures, but rather than simply writing them off, we thought they should be discussed. In boxing it is the punch you don't see that knocks you out, and it is the bill you ignore that strips away your rights. So here are the proposed anti-gun laws which would regulate your previously legal firearms.House Bill 3325 would create a new series of laws based on the concept of "assault weapons." Assault weapons are defined in this bill as semi-automatic rifles that have the capacity to accept a detachable magazine that holds more than five rounds of ammunition, and has a pistol grip, folding or telescoping stock, thumbhole stock, or a grenade launcher (as you might expect, exploding grenades are already illegal as explosives). It also includes semi-automatic shotguns and semi-automatic pistols that have a folding or telescoping stock, a thumbhole stock, a second handgrip, an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip, or a threaded barrel capable of accepting a flash suppressor, barrel extender, or silencer.Yes, you read that correctly: a previously unregulated semi-automatic pistol with a threaded barrel would be classified as an assault weapon. The bill goes on further to state that before you can purchase such a weapon, you need a license. Such a license would have a $200 license application fee, and would require a local law enforcement authority to indicate whether or not you could lawfully possess the weapon. It also requires that you would have to register with the local law enforcement authority. Finally, after you have completed all of those requirements, there would be a $200 tax for the purchase. Essentially, House Bill 3325 looks to treat "assault weapons" in a similar fashion to how the federal government treats machine guns. Similarly, large-capacity magazines came under fire with Senate Bill 1676. Any magazine that has a capacity to accept more than 20 rounds would have to be surrendered to state or federal law enforcement agencies, or you would face a Class A misdemeanor. Certain types of ammunition feeding devices, .22 caliber tubes and lever action firearm tubes, would be excepted from the prohibition. Changes to Justifications for Use of Deadly ForceHouse Bill 3325; Senate Bill 1676
Senate Bill 1349 No More Deadly Force in Defense of Property: Senate Bill 1349 would change some elements regarding justification in using deadly force. If this bill passes, it is no longer a justification for the use of deadly force that you were defending a third person's property. Additionally, it removes the justification that you may use deadly force to stop someone who is fleeing with your property immediately after having committed burglary, robbery,aggravated robbery, or theft. It also would require that before using Deadly Force you must reasonably believe that the property can not be protected by other meansor that to use less than deadly force would subject you to the substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury. Finally, the bill stems that in case of self-defense involving deadly force, the finder of fact in a trial (i.e., the jury) can consider the following factors when determining justification: physical proximity, whether the other person exhibited or used a weapon, and whether they were fleeing at the time force was used. Unfortunately there is always going to be someone who opposes the rights of individuals to protect their property, and this bill is simply a reflection of that opinion.

30-35 yards with no return is NOT acceptable, btw. There's a happy medium between that and a 60 yarder. It is fully reasonable to expect a 40 yarder with good hang time.
kind of agreed. i'll take a 38-45 yard punt with no return or with a risk of the return man to take it but take the chance of taking a big hit or going nowhere unless coverage unit doesnt play their lanes
Don't you roll your eyes at me buddy The lowest net average in the league is 35.8. The median is 38.9. You're happy with 30-35 ??? I need you for a boss.
I like the angled out of bounds kicks. But they need to do whatever it takes to keep Miller as a non-factor in the game.
Ah, not sure what to think of a guy that likes peanut butter and banannas on his pizza? But I do know that the "Punter" sucks!
I'm happy with an effort that fits into the team's plan of attack, freelancers always seem to affect that sign listing the number of days since the last accident. Though I'll cheerfully give you references to past subordinates, I get paid the same whether I'm loved or not.
Sauerbrun should be signed for next year. He probably will not alter his style now ... but I'm thinking he tweaks his style a bit to get alot more air with 5 yards less distance ... I can see that and i love it.

Myth #6: Bullying involves only perpetrators and victims.
Many parents, teachers, and students view bullying as a problem that is limited to bullies and victims. Yet, there is much research showing that bullying involves more than the bully-victim dyad (9). For example, bullying incidents are typically public (rather than private) events that have witnesses. Studies based on playground observations have found that in most incidents, at least four other peers were present as witnesses, bystanders, assistants to bullies, reinforcers, or defenders of victims (10). One observation study found that in more than 50% of the observed incidents of bullying, peers reinforced bullies by passively watching. In only about 25% of the incidents did witnesses support the victim by directly intervening, distracting, or discouraging the bully (10).
Understanding facts versus myths about bullies and victims is important for intervention. The problems of victims and bullies are not the same. Victims of harassment need interventions that help them develop more positive self-views and that teach them not to blame themselves for their experiences with harassment. Interventions for bullies do not need to focus on self-esteem. Rather, bullies need to learn strategies that help them control their anger and their tendency to blame other people for their problems. And peers need to learn that bullying is a whole school problem for which everyone is responsible. There is no such thing as an innocent bystander.

Police arrest 6 in slaying of ex-Mob boss Montagna
Quebec provincial police say they've made five arrests in connection with the slaying of a powerful mob boss who once led a New York City crime family.

MONTREAL—Police say they've made a major dent in Montreal's turbulent underworld with six arrests in the slaying of a powerful Mob boss who once led a New York City crime family.
The charges includes first-degree murder and conspiracy in the slaying of Salvatore Montagna, who was named by U.S. authorities as a former head of New York's notorious Bonanno crime family.
The six arrested include Raynald Desjardins, 59, a former confidant of Vito Rizzuto, the reputed head of the Montreal Mafia who is in a U.S. prison.
Desjardins, identified by authorities as a dominant figure in Montreal organized crime circles and in the construction industry, has a lengthy criminal record that includes a conviction on cocaine trafficking charges from 1993.
One of the few non-Italians within the Mob's inner circle, Desjardins had been the victim of an attempted murder last September by an assailant believed to be aboard a watercraft.
Tuesday's arrests came after nearly two years of carnage in Montreal's underworld, with brazen hit after brazen hit.
Montagna was gunned down and found near the home of Jack Simpson, 69, near Montreal on Nov. 24.
Police believe Montagna was shot and ran to the L'Assomption River nearby to evade the gunmen. He was pulled from the water by emergency crews.
Police say Simpson was also tied to the Mafia. He was on parole at the time of the shooting but is currently incarcerated. He will face the same charges as the others.
Two of the others arrested are Vittorio Mirarchi, 34, described by police as another important player in the Mafia, and Felice Racaniello, 27.
Two others arrested without warrants are expected to face similar charges.
"We believe we have just dealt a major blow to organized crime, particularly Italian organized crime," Insp. Roberto Bergeron told a news conference.
Montagna's slaying was one of the latest in a series of Mafia-related killings and disappearances amid an ongoing power struggle.
That struggle has intensified since Rizzuto was jailed in 2007. Several killings and disappearances in late 2009 and early 2010 have robbed him of many of his closest family members and allies.
Rizzuto is due to be released in mid-2012.
Montagna was born in Montreal but raised in Sicily and, although he moved to the United States at 15, he never obtained U.S. citizenship.
The married father of three was deported to Canada from the United States in 2009 because of a conviction for refusing to testify before a grand jury on illegal gambling.
He pleaded guilty to the minor charge, but it made him ineligible to stay in the U.S.
The RCMP and municipal forces from Montreal, Longueuil and Laval were involved in the investigation.

Child Support: What to Do When a Child Emancipates
It's a common story. Pursuant to your Virginia divorce decree, you are ordered to pay your ex-spouse $1,200/month in child support for your three children. A few years later, your oldest child graduates from high school and goes off to college. So what do you do? You figure $1,200/month divided by three kids = $400 per kid, so you'll reduce your monthly payments to your your ex-spouse to just $800 for the two remaining eligible kids. Right?
Wrong. And in fact, you can get yourself in a lot of trouble this way. You cannot unilaterally change your child support amount without the court's involvement. Your spouse can later take you to court and you will almost certainly be held accountable for that extra $400/month that you stopped paying.
How could that be, if one of your children is no longer eligible for child … Read More »
Spousal Support Reservations in Virginia
Virginia Code Section 20-107.1 provides that pursuant to a divorce, a court may reserve the right of a party to receive spousal support in the future. Furthermore, "in any case so reserved, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the reservation will continue for a period equal to 50 percent of the length of time between the date of marriage and the date of separation. Once granted, the duration of such reservation shall not be subject to modification."
What does this mean? This means that in lieu of a spousal support award, or in addition to a spousal support award, a Virginia court can grant a reservation for one or both parties to seek additional spousal support from the other in the future.
Why would a spouse not elect to immediately pursue his or her reservation? Because it's not as simple as … Read More »
How to Protect Yourself as the Breadwinning Spouse
Divorce can be financially difficult for both parties, particularly in today's economy. If you are the breadwinning spouse, you may face special difficulties—which include but are not limited to the following:
Your spouse doesn't (or refuses to) work, so you may be looking at higher amounts of spousal support and child support.
Your name is tied to all of the marital debts because your spouse doesn't have good credit.
You're stuck paying everything: a mortgage, two car payments, and massive credit card debt that is more than you can afford.
Your spouse recklessly increases your debt, and only you are held responsible.
Your spouse has requested pendente lite support and attorney's fees to help him or her carry on the divorce lawsuit.
Unfortunately, these are examples of some of the pitfalls that come with being the breadwinning spouse. Here are four tips to help protect yourself before, during … Read More »
Six Things to Keep in Mind Before Signing a Prenup
If you are engaged to be married, you may be considering entering into a prenuptial agreement or "prenup" with your spouse-to-be. Although popular recognition of prenuptial agreements has grown thanks to celebrity divorces, prenups are still relatively uncommon in everyday marriages. If you or your soon-to-be spouse are pursuing a prenuptial agreement for your upcoming marriage, here are six things to keep in mind as you move forward:
Remember the purpose. Perhaps this is opinion, but the purpose of a prenuptial agreement is more about simplifying and reducing the costs of a potential divorce, and less about defining the marriage relationship or dictating the behavior of either spouse. Keeping this in mind should help you determine which terms are necessary to include and which terms are not.
Protect what you have now. People often enter into prenuptial agreements to protect the separate assets … Read More »
Five Tips For Getting the Most From Your Family Law Attorney
If you are going through a divorce or other family law case, it is advisable to hire an experienced family law attorney as early in the process as possible. Not only will your attorney help guide you through the process, he or she will also serve as your advocate and voice so that you can get the best possible result without having to stand alone. It is no secret, however, that legal fees in a family law case can be expensive—and you want to receive value for your money. Here are five tips for getting the most from the relationship with your family law attorney:
Pick wisely. Not all attorneys are created equal. Make sure you feel comfortable with your attorney's personality, level of professionalism, and views about your case. Feel free to seek a second opinion with another attorney so that you … Read More »
Treatment of 529 Plans in Virginia Divorce
A 529 plan is an education savings account that parents may set up to pay their children's future college education costs. Otherwise known as a "Qualified Tuition Program" in the Internal Revenue Code, 529 plans are typically established through individual states or educational institutions and provide a variety of benefits. The primary benefit is that earnings derived from the investment of a 529 plan are not subject to federal taxation when used to pay college education costs. Unlike 401k accounts, however, the contributions to a 529 plan are not excluded from taxation, and there is no third party "matching" of funds.
To set up a 529 plan, you need one custodian (also known as the account holder), one beneficiary, and a plan administrator to invest the contributions. Parents who set up a 529 plan for their child can do so in … Read More »
What Does It Mean To Dissipate Or Waste Marital Assets?
If you are involved in a contested divorce in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the court will eventually set a date for an equitable distribution trial. At that trial, you and your spouse will have the opportunity to present proposals to the court for distribution of the marital property and debts. Occasionally, one party in an equitable distribution hearing will allege that the other has misused or deliberately disposed of marital property to purposefully deprive the other party of his or her share. This behavior is commonly known as "marital waste" or "dissipation of assets," and the court has authority to consider such behavior in making an equitable distribution award.
But how does the court know when marital waste was purposeful? The general rule in Virginia, stated in Booth v. Booth, 7 Va. App. 22, 371 S.E.2d 569 (1988), is that "waste may be … Read More »
How The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act Can Help Or Hurt You
Signed into law by President Bush in 2003, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) both replaced and expanded the similarly-focused Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act (SSCRA), which was originally passed in 1918. The purpose of the SCRA is to allow servicemembers to "devote their entire energy to the defense needs of the Nation." As such, the SCRA provides legal protections to active duty members of the United States military when they are involved in lawsuits that affect their rights.

The Non-Participating Spouse
Let's suppose the marriage between you and your spouse has broken down, and you are ready to dissolve it. You and your spouse have already begun moving in separate directions. Tensions are mounting, and you've stopped communicating to avoid further escalation. Despite this, you'd like to resolve things through the cheapest and most efficient means, i.e. a property settlement agreement, rather than spending the time and money to litigate the issues of marital property, custody and support in court.
The catch is that your spouse won't answer your attempts to communicate, won't hire an attorney or regularly communicate with the attorney he or she has hired, and won't extend the courtesy of resolving matters efficiently. What can you do?
You have options, although you'll need to balance what you know about your spouse with your desire for resolution. You can try to … Read More »
What Happens If I Violate My Virginia Court Order?
Let's say a Virginia court order specifies that you owe child support in the amount of $500/month, but you recently lost your job and haven't been able to afford to continue paying. Or you moved yourself and your children to Maryland to be near your parents even though your custody and visitation order states that you must provide the court and the other party with advance written notice thirty days before relocating outside the Commonwealth of Virginia. Regardless of your justifications, these are violations of court orders and they should not be taken lightly. If you expect to soon violate your court order, or if you have already violated your court order, you are probably wondering about the possible consequences.
When one party in a custody or divorce case violates a court order, the other party has the opportunity to petition … Read More »

My family and I stayed here in February and I cannot recommend this riad highly enough. The decor is stunning, the staff is helpful, and the location is great - they really are just 15 minutes from the central part of the medina. The decor is traditional yet tasteful - every element was chosen with an eye for design by the owner. The breakfast offers more than most independent hotels, and despite being really in the medina, the rooms were truly quiet at night (and the beds are comfortable too). All of the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly - happy to arrange whatever you need. We travel extensively - this is our fourth trip to Marrakech - and I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Police say two charred bodies found in a burned-out Cadillac in the desert southwest of Las Vegas were shot execution-style in the back of the head.
A homicide lieutenant said Wednesday the victims were a boyfriend and girlfriend in their mid-20s.
He says investigators know who they are, but they're not releasing their names while they try to find a motive for the slayings.
The Clark County coroner's office isn't releasing their identities.
An off-road vehicle rider found the nearly skeletal remains Nov. 11 in the burned car well off State Route 160.
Police say the bodies might have been there up to five days before they were found.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Joe Crede went 2-for-5 with three runs batted in and a run scored, as the Minnesota Twins handled the Milwaukee Brewers, 7-3, in the opener of a three-game interleague series at Miller Park.
Carlos Gomez went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a pair of runs scored for the Twins, who started a nine-game road trip on Tuesday. Brendan Harris had an RBI single, while Delmon Young had an RBI double. Justin Morneau had a pair of doubles and scored once.
"I have never had three hits in three innings before. I thought all three balls were going to be caught. I got lucky tonight," Gomez said.
Francisco Liriano (3-8) went five innings, allowing three runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and five walks to snap a seven-start winless streak. Liriano's last victory came on May 9th versus Seattle.
Mike Cameron had a two-run single for the Brewers, who have lost four straight games. Casey McGehee went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored.
"It wasn't our best game. I thought we had some pretty good at-bats. We had chances. That's the way it goes sometimes. We had opportunities but we just couldn't push it across," McGehee said.
Jeff Suppan (5-5) was rocked in five frames of work, giving up seven runs -- four earned -- on nine hits with three strikeouts and three walks. Suppan had a four-start unbeaten streak broken. He had allowed two runs or less in three of those appearances.
The Twins used a three-run double from Crede in the top of the first inning to go ahead early. Gomez singled, Morneau intentionally walked, and Michael Cuddyer struck out, but went to first on Suppan's wild pitch, to load the bases with two outs. Crede cleared the bases when he drove the ball off the bottom of the wall in left-center field.
Milwaukee responded with a pair of runs in the bottom half to cut the deficit to one. Jason Kendall singled, McGehee singled, and Corey Hart walked to load the bases with two outs. Cameron then stroked a two-run single to left.
Minnesota plated a run on Harris' RBI single in the top of the second to build a two-run margin. But the Brewers used a McGehee RBI double in the home half to make it a one-run tilt again.
The Twins put a three-spot on the board in the third to go ahead 7-3. Cuddyer singled and Crede reached on J.J. Hardy's fielding error with one out in the frame. Young then laced an RBI double down the left-field line. Nick Punto was intentionally walked to load the bases. Two batters later, Gomez stroked a two-run single to center.
R.A. Dickey, Matt Guerrier, and Joe Nathan combined to toss four scoreless frames of relief to secure the win for Minnesota.

Manna Offers Home-Style Fare in Lauderhill's Korea Town
Young Kho whirls around the dining room of her small Lauderhill restaurant.CandaceWest.com
One moment, she's laughing and chatting in Korean with a family of regulars. The next, she's patiently explaining the menu to a table of elderly New Yorkers.
A few minutes later, she's effortlessly gliding from the kitchen, in a pair of conservative wedge sandals, with a huge silver tray of banchan (side dishes) and barbecue.
Young and her husband, Tae, opened the doors four years ago to their modest eatery, Manna Restaurant, on State Road 441.
When the economy tanked, so did their clothing business. The couple, who have three children, were left looking for alternative options to make a living.
"We were looking for a business to support our family," Young says, her face lighting up in a cheeky smile. "We needed to make money."
See also: Vienna Cafe & Bistro Brings British High Tea to Western Broward
Armed with a vast repertoire of family recipes, Young and Tae decided to leap into the restaurant industry, setting up shop in the burgeoning Korean district sprouting up around University Drive and Commercial Boulevard.
Right across the street from Gabose (the first Korean joint to grace the area) and just down the plaza from Korean grocer Kim & Lee Oriental Mart, Manna has become a firmly entrenched part of the local Korean community.
It strives to serve the kind of healthy, home-style fare one would find in any Korean household.
"Every mom makes food for her family," says Young. "We do the same."
While Manna doesn't offer the fancy charcoal pits found at other spots, the barbecue dishes are still some of the most popular offerings.

Great trip- the tour of the ruins was informative; it is only 3 hours (which seems like a lot until you realize how much actually there is to see) and it would have been nice to have some additional time to walk around on your own but it was really great. The lunch was good- definitely try to the corn ice cream. Swimming in the cenote was a highlight and fun; definitely a unique experience. Definitely recommend for any first timers to the region/looking for something interesting to do.

The catamaran and snorkeling was amazing. We saw a couple sea turtles and our guide made sure we received a great tour of the reef. We were lucky that the weather was terrific, but also lucky that we had such great guides for our trip. We will definitely use "Fat Cat" tours next time we want to snorkel. Thanks for the great time!!
Doing what: Riviera Maya Catamaran Adventure
Highly recommend this tour! The sites are breathtaking, and the staff fantastic! Jesús, Samuel, José and Amado couldn't have taken better care of us or done more for us, and it's wonderful to get to see such a fascinating place as Chichén Itzá without having to worry about the logistics. It's a 12 hour day and make sure you bring your camera!
Doing what: Chichen Itza from Riviera Maya
The tour guide gave us great and detailed information; he (Felipe) was pleasant, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The tour was well organized and kept to the schedule very well. The bus was very comfortable. It would have been nice to have literature or handouts to read later at one's leisure. There was a lot of information to take in! I wish I had known ahead of time that there would be shopping opportunities at both the buffet restaurant and the cenote, and would have preferred more time for browsing and shopping. The meal was interesting but again, would have like more information about the authenticity of the the various foods. The tour certainly piqued my interest to visit my local library to read up on the Mayan history. I found that the day was rather long because of the intense heat. I do not regret taking this tour and would recommend it to family and friends.

this is the second time we have used the fat cat and this wont be our last. Everyone is just great, from the owners to the lovely crew.... Sammy who keeps the glasses filled and the rest who keep the party atmosphere going... just great. Cant recommend this trip enough... I urge you to do it.
Doing what: Riviera Maya Catamaran Adventure
A good day out but the whole process of arranging the tour once in Mexico was very tiresome. It's a shame viator didn't provide the correct information and I also had to pay for local phone calls to arrange a voucher exchange. A good tour but honestly wouldn't recommend booking through Viator (sadly) as the process is much easier if booked locally. Nearly lost out in the excursion due to this problem. Needs to be sorted Viator. Very disappointing.
Doing what: Tulum and Xel-Ha from Riviera Maya
We had a fantastic tour guide at Chichen Itza who was very friendly and informative. The food was great, but did not include the price of drinks, even water. This was not a big deal at all but would have been nice to have been prepared for.
The Dolphin Xtreme: Swimming with the dolphins and manatees was fantastic. Each person in our group got plenty of one-on-one time with the dolphins. There are no stingrays or sharks in the area, so that was disappointing... The rappelling, zip lining and snorkeling was a ton of fun! I only wish we had more time to these things - it felt a bit rushed. That guide was great, too, and the food was very good. You cannot have cameras with the dolphins and manatees, but you can with everything else. The photographers were great, though, so you don't NEED a camera.
Doing what: Riviera Maya Combo: Chichen Itza Tour plus Dolphin Xtreme
Would give this tour 10 stars if possible!!! SUPER organized and easy communication from beginning to end...tour bus was nice and staff were amazing!!! Great tour guide (GREAT), lunch at a super nice restaurant and visit to the Cenote was fun!! Would recommend this tour 110% without hesitation
Doing what: Chichen Itza from Riviera Maya
Great tour! My wife and I enjoyed this day trip on our honeymoon. We really enjoyed the sites. The lunch and the swimming in the afternoon was great too!
Doing what: Chichen Itza from Riviera Maya
Quite a lovely trip overall. Travel accommodations (tour buses, etc.) were nicely apportioned. The guides, steward, and driver were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Luncheon was delicious. Very nicely organized; however, the trip went longer than planned. The drop off process was rather drawn out.
Doing what: Chichen Itza from Riviera Maya
This trip was not at all as sold. Please book this tour if you're prepared to be very disappointed. We were only told once on location we could only complete half the trip in one day and would need to re-book another day to complete the second half. A day we didn't have. The part of the trip we did get to go on was good but did not require an entire day or our trip and felt like a waste of our short time in Mexico.
Doing what: Riviera Maya Combo: Chichen Itza Tour plus Zipline and Snorkel Adventure
Was welcoming and great treatment .. Wished had more hime in the water .. Very rushed .. Would do it agsin though
Doing what: Riviera Maya Catamaran Adventure
The time spent in Tulum was short and only little information was provided. on the tour bus we only received information about Xel-Ha but, unfortunatley, not about Tulum. in addition, we did not get to know about a few helpful details in Xel-Ha, for example deposits and prices of extra-tours etc.
Of course, Tulum is worth visiting, Xel-Ha is also a very nice and attractive place. But you will definitely not need a tour to experience these sites.

He goes on starving himself in the name of fasting. As if starving your body is in any way going to help you to come closer to god: as if God is a sadist and he wants you to be tortured. Do you think god is an Adolf Hitler, a Mussolini, a Genghis Khan, a Tamerlane or a Nadir Shah? What do you think about God? No father would like his children be starved! But all religions, the so-called religions - Christianity, Hinduism, Jainism, Mohammedanism - all preach fasting, because fasting gives you great ego.
These two are basic instincts: food and sex. Food is needed for your survival, and sex is needed for the survival of the race. Both are basically needed for survival. If everybody fasts, and everybody becomes a celibate, there is no need for atom bombs! There will be no third world war. People will die on their own accord. Sex and food are deeply joined: food keeps the individual alive, and sex keeps the race alive. That is their similarity: sex is food for the race, and food is sex for the individual.
Hence, one more point is to be remembered: if you repress sex you will start eating more food, because you will have to compensate. If you stop eating enough food that is necessary for the body you will become more and more sexual. You will have to compensate. And your saints are against both.
Your saints are suicidal. Of course, their suicide is a very very slow suicide. They are not even courageous enough to commit it in a single blow. They go on cutting themselves limb by limb, they go on destroying themselves slowly. They enjoy the whole process, they are masochists. They torture themselves and they feel that by torturing themselves they are purifying themselves and they are becoming holier.
They are simply becoming pious egoists! And the pious egoist is far more dangerous than the ordinary egoist, because the ordinary egoist has a very gross ego. He knows he has it, everybody else knows he has it.
The politician lives with the gross ego, and the saint, the mahatma, lives with a very subtle ego: and with such a facade of holiness that others will not be able to see it. He is so humble, he is so surrendered to God.. And he lives such a simple life - little food, clothes are.. There are saints who don't use clothes at all.
Jaina saints live naked. Their requirements are almost none. Living a naked life in a cave, in a primitive way, they seem to be very nonpossessive. But that is only appearance. Deep down they are hankering for heaven, deep down they are greedy. Deep down they are thinking nobody is more humble, more pious than they are. Deep down they think about you as sinners, and themselves as saints.
This is a very complex situation. This is a fight with themselves. They have divided themselves into two: the higher and the lower. Even in the body they have a division: the higher part and the lower part. Above the sexual organs the body is higher, below the sexual organs it is lower: as if the body is divided anywhere.

Distinguished character actor Michael Shannon essayed a diverse series of characterizations onscreen, beginning just after the start of the new millennium. A veteran member of Chicago's experimental Red Orchid theatrical troupe, Shannon specialized in small, multidimensional portrayals that added to the overall effectiveness of each project -- per his contributions to Vanilla Sky (2001), 8 Mile (2002), and Bad Boys II (2003). Whenever necessary, Shannon imperceptibly blended into the material at hand. He played a therapist in Nicole Kassell's psychodrama The Woodsman (2004), yet by virtue of his emotional intensity and eccentric look, Shannon evinced an ability to dominate with his onscreen presence, as well. Nowhere was this tendency more evident than in William Friedkin's psychological thriller Bug (2006). As adapted by Tracy Letts from his own stage play, the film concerns a shabby and skanky drifter (Shannon, reprising his role from the play) with a serious complex of delusional schizophrenia, who believes that bugs are crawling beneath his skin and enters a terrifying pas de deux with a young waitress (Ashley Judd). Shannon followed it up with a memorable contribution to Oliver Stone's World Trade Center -- as a military man desperate to help in any way possible during the 9/11 tragedy -- and Sidney Lumet's Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007), a crime thriller about two brothers who team up to rob a jewelry store. Shannon grabbed his first taste of stardom with his breakout role as a mentally disturbed man in Sam Mendes' adaptation of Revolutionary Road. His truthful, menacing character cut through the main characters' self-deception, and Shannon's off-kilter delivery won him glowing notices from critics, as well as a nomination for Best Supporting Actor from the Academy. He worked steadily after that success appearing in The Greatest, Jonah Hex, and Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. In 2010 he had a pair of critical successes that included his work as a repressed federal agent on the HBO series Boardwalk Empire, and his portrayal of the eccentric rock entrepreneur Kim Fowler in The Runaways. In 2011 he again earned raves for his work a schizophrenic in Take Shelter. His intensity got him cast relatively often as bad guys, something he put to great effect in the 2012 action film Premium Rush and in the criminal biopic The Iceman.

Mischa Barton loves 'dark' men.
The former 'O.C.' actress – who recently split from Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard – is attracted to intense, brooding types even though they make her feel depressed and claustrophobic. She said: 'I have always been in very heavy, long-term serious relationships… three in a row. I tend to be attracted to slightly dark men, meaning they have huge lows, which I can too. This is not conducive to being happy and carefree.
'I have therefore set my mind to dating if I feel like it, but not getting into anything serious. It's difficult to find the happy medium. I am dating in a general sense… nothing exclusive. I am enjoying myself.' When it comes to choosing potential lovers, the 23-year-old beauty prides brains over bulging muscles. She added to Britain's Hello! magazine: 'I love men to be super-intelligent rather than Greek gods. I love hanging out with the boys, so even after a relationship has ended I like to stay friends.'
Mischa also spoke about her tumultuous past, including her 2007 conviction for driving under the influence and without a valid licence. She said: 'I have no privacy and therefore I have grown up in the public arena. Not an excuse, just a fact. 'I should have known better than to drink-drive and I am just very happy nothing worse happened. I have learnt a huge lesson and am now also more wary of my friends and their influence over me. 'I should never have got in that car, and for that I admit my guilt. Sometimes you need a big shock to shake you up.'
The following is a video segment from E! News Now looking at Mischa's May 2009 cover of Cosmopolitan in the UK. Scans of the spread can be viewed here.
Candids of Mischa leaving club Bardot in LA have been uploaded. They are from the same day as the previous set of candids.
Now back from Montreal where Mischa filmed her new pilot for The CW, she was quickly spotted out and about in LA. Unless the show gets an extra early pick up, we won't know if it will go to full series until the middle of May. This is also the first set of candids with Mischa's new hair colour.
The full spread from Mischa's stunning editorial for Genlux Magazine has been uploaded (photos courtesy Genlux via their website, with thanks to Michele for the tip).
You can also view extracted hq photos of the shoot here.
Many many more behind the scenes videos from Mischa's upcoming The CW pilot Beautiful Life were added to YouTube. The two videos below are the main vids that feature Mischa. Click here for all the videos which feature the rest of the cast.
Mischa is featured on the cover of the brand new issue of Cosmopolitan UK for May 2009. It's a stunning new photo shoot featuring a brand new interview where Mischa talks about her perspective on body image. IMO, this is one of Mischa's best interviews to date. She comes across extremely aware of the issue at hand and articulates her answers in a fashion that should be relatable to all Cosmo readers the world over. Great job, Cosmo! Make sure to grab your own copy of this if you can.
Big THANK YOU to Tona for sending in the scans! I had no idea this editorial was even on the horizon.
A few behind the scenes production stills from Mischa's upcoming film titled Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain have been added. This is the movie she filmed in India that is inspired by true events associated with the 1984 industrial disaster in India. A pesticide plant released 42 tonnes of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas, exposing at least 520,000 people to toxic gases. The Bhopal disaster is frequently cited as the world's worst industrial disaster. The movie also co-stars Martin Sheen and House's Kal Penn. Thanks to Maz for the photos.

Nice but uncomfrontable
"They run a little long, and I haven't been able to break them in yet. I keep getting blisters in the back by just wearing them for 10 min. I find this shoe beautiful and fashionable, but unfortunately for me is very uncomfortable."
September 06, 2014
Good quality shoe
"I read reviews and bought this sandal 1.2 size down from my regular size. It fits perfect. I love light gold color (not platinum, but again, I read reviews). Very comfy and classy. Crown Vintage brand never disappoints me."
July 07, 2014
Lovely shoe
"I love this pair of shoes. They have a bit of padding on the sole of the shoe making them feely very comfy. The shoe is leather so it will strength a bit. I found them to run a bit long and a bit wide. I usually wear a size 7 but had to exchange them for a 6.5"
May 31, 2014
Pure Golden Loveliness
"The Crown Vintage Firenze Flat is a winner. This sandal is a great neutral gold that can be paired with anything to jazz up an outfit. I am sure these will be a go-to for me this summer season. How do I know that? I am so in love with them that I went back for a second pair in black. Beyond looking awesome, they fit well too. True to size - I usually wear 8.5 or 9 and the 8.5 fit well and are superbly comfortable."

The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday took a swipe on former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode for refusing to say the fact on the party's comments concerning the proscription of Boko Haram outlawed sect by the Federal Government.
The opposition party in a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Fani-Kayode's response to an earlier statement released by the APC showed that the former Minister made himself available to be used to castigate the opposition on the altar of obtrusive exigency.
The party noted that Fan-Kayode has failed to wash off the thick mud he splashed on himself when he returned to his vomit, adding that it has decided not to engage Fani-Kayode in war of words but to simply set the record straight for the sake of posterity.
The party described the estranged member as a Janus-faced, brassy personality who stands for nothing and will fall for anything.
The statement reads, "On June 9th 2013, the ACN issued a statement in which it said in the opening paragraph 'The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has said that the recent proscription order against Boko Haram and Ansaru, desirable as it may be in tackling the terrorist organisations, violates the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by stifling the press and tampering with the fundamental human rights of Nigerians'."
"Any person, especially one who supposedly had the benefit of a sound education, who interprets this statement as a condemnation of the proscription itself is either acting out of deliberate mischief or has failed to take advantage of his good education, perhaps in a desperation to escape justice at all cost.
"What the statement means is that in as much as the FG may have done a desirable thing in proscribing the terrorist groups, a section of the proscription Order violates the constitution by stifling the press and tampering with the fundamental human rights of Nigerians.
"We then went ahead to quote that offensive section of the Proscription Order as Section 5 (1), which prescribes a term of imprisonment of not less than 20 years 'for any person who knowingly, in any manner, directly or indirectly, solicits or renders support for the commission of an act of terrorism or to a terrorist group'.
"We said 'support, as defined by the Order, includes 'incitement to commit a terrorist act through the Internet, or any electronic means OR THROUGH THE USE OF PRINTED MATERIALS OR THROUGH THE DISSEMINATION OF TERRORIST INFORMATION (emphasis ours). We said this section is in conflict with Chapter II Section 22 of the Nigeria constitution which says 'The press, radio, television and other agencies of the mass media, shall AT ALL TIMES BE FREE (emphasis ours) to uphold the fundamental objectives contained in this chapter and uphold the responsibility and accountability of the government to the people'.
"We said by stifling the press, the Order is abridging a part of the fundamental human rights guaranteed every citizen under Chapter Four of the Nigerian Constitution in Section 39 (1), which states thus:
'Every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression including freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart ideas and information WITHOUT INTERFERENCE?' (emphasis ours), and warned that this section could be used against journalists and the opposition," APC said.
"In order not to be misunderstood or to have our stand distorted by mischief makers seeking to feather their own nest at the expense of the truth, we then said that against the background of insinuations in government circles, let us be clear that we do not condone the activities of these sects that have killed and maimed innocent Nigerians and turned a section of the country into a battle field. Terrorism in all its ramifications is condemnable, and no responsible government will allow any group, no matter its name, grievances or ideology, to carry out terrorist acts unchecked."
It quoted a Presidency statement as saying; "For the avoidance of doubt, the Order is not meant to stop journalists from carrying out their duties or function of news gathering or reporting as they differ from terrorist activities. Rather, the Order is out to criminalize acts of incitement by anyone, group of persons or institutions to commit terrorist acts through dissemination of terrorist information'.
And the PDP said in its own statement: "For the avoidance of doubt, no section of the Order stifled the press; violated or seeks to violate any provision of the constitution. Instead the Order reinforced the provisions of the constitution guaranteeing the security and welfare of all Nigerians."
The party said it is therefore shocking, to say the least, that anyone would still take this statement to mean that APC is against the proscription of Boko Haram.
"In line with his shifty and deceitful style, Mr. Fani-Kayode, in his rambling response, tried to tone down his earlier statement by saying 'I believe strongly that the APC comprises of at least a handful of Boko Haram sympathisers and questionable individuals who have at various times expressed a certain degree of support for Boko Haram'.
"But our response to this toned-down version of what he said on television is that it is too late in the day for him to back away from his earlier statement, for which he must apologize or face a court action," it said.

30 years too late
LAKE PLACID _ OK, so my timing was a little bit off. Thirty years off, to be exact. I sat in hotel room here with friends today to watch the U.S. try to win an Olympic gold medal in hockey. They fell in overtime to Canada, 3-2. Almost exactly 30 years ago, the gold-medal hockey […]

I'll admit it. I don't know what it takes to be a good governor.

Happy anniversary?
Eight months ago today I underwent eight hours of abdominal surgery to try to help me beat, or at least hold off, pancreatic cancer.

Maybe not born too late
Is it really so bad that the contemporary Pony Tails singing group really has no connection to the original singing group of the same name?
