Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain to Engage in Lincoln-Douglas-Style Debate for Publicity
Well, here's a fantastic idea: Let's take two Republican primary candidates — one with whom the GOP is still in its infatuation period and another who will never ever go away no matter what — and give them a whole evening in which to mouth platitudes and campaign slogans….
"We initially wanted a forum with all of the candidates," [Texas Tea Party Patriots treasurer Bill] O'Sullivan says. "But when we heard Gingrich say he wanted a more serious debate, like the Lincoln–Douglas debates, we wanted to do that, especially since watching the recent superficial debates has been frustrating."
Organizing the event was relatively easy, he adds. "We had a relationship with Herman Cain. He spoke at our tea-party event six months ago. We contacted him, asking if he was interested in a Lincoln–Douglas debate on entitlements. Then we got in touch with Speaker Gingrich."
"This debate is going to be dominated by the candidates going back and forth, in a respectful way," O'Sullivan says. "It will be divided into parts, one for each major entitlement — Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid — with each candidate detailing their arguments."
Oh, I see! It'll be just like the Lincoln–Douglas debates except that it will be one debate instead of a series of seven, between two people of the same wing of the same party who pretty much agree on everything instead of two rivals from either end of a large political divide, and mostly concerning the filtering of money upwards instead of the enslavement of human beings. Oh, and neither of these people will ever go on to be President of the United States.
But, besides that, exactly the same.

Exporters can profit from concentrating their resources: Chapter 11 of Dr. Betsy Krugers new book, Aesops Keys to Profitable Marketing, shows why exporters will benefit.
Daytona Beaach, FL (PRWEB) July 16, 2014
Should exporters allocate resources equally even though some investments are more profitable than others? No, exporters should concentrate their resources where they will produce the best rate of return.
For example, a universal law, the 80/20 rule, predicts that the top twenty percent of customers will produce eighty percent of the profits.
Dr. Kruger has laid out an easy-to-use process for growing top customers in any business, states Robert Iocco, CPA, CIC, CEO, Trustpoint Insurance, Bristol, VA.
Dr. Betsy Krugers new book, "Aesop's Keys to Profitable Marketing" coaches exporters to concentrate resources on their best opportunities. The publisher is Publishing Directions LLC.
Dr. Betsy Kruger's book explains how exporters can profit from using new marketing strategies. Some of Aesops Keys are to focus on quality, compete on strength, target top prospects, and reward the best. The chapters update tales by Aesop, relate his wisdom to marketing, and show how to adapt each key to an exporters situation.
For example, this is one way to interpret a parable by Jesus about using talents in business. A man entrusts his wealth to three servants while he travels. Two servants trade his talents to increase the mans wealth. The third servant digs a hole in the ground and hides the wealth. When the man returns, he praises the two successful businessmen but condemns the unprofitable miser.
A few centuries before Jesus, Aesop told a similar tale. Aesops neighbor converted all of his riches into gold, melted it into an ingot, and buried it in a secret place. Every day he gloated over his treasure for hours. Aesop said, He left his heart and spirit in the hole. His servant snoops on him, sneaks back to the place, and snitches the lump of gold. When the Miser returns, he discovers the hole is empty. In despair, the man pulls his hair and cries, My treasure is gone!
Aesop pretends to sympathize with his neighbors loss. Dont despair like that, my friend. You wont miss it. Just put a brick in the hole and imagine its your gold. You wont be any worse off than before. Before you lost it, your gold was of no earthly use to you. Aesop chides misers. Unused possessions create no good. Make good use of your wealth.
Both Aesop and Jesus encourage business leaders to use their wealth for good, instead of hoarding it. Exporters can provide benefits to their customers, income to their employees, and profits to themselves.
Dr. Krugers mission is to ignite the engine of prosperity with her message. She conveys twelve ways any business can profit by using the 80/20 rule. After selling her software worldwide, she provided consulting to many corporations and coached over 2000 start-ups to succeed.
Her first book, "Top Market Strategy: Applying the 80/20 Rule," enriches graduate marketing courses. She owns Strategic Power, a marketing consultancy rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau and certified by WBE and WOBE.
Dr. Betsy Kruger coaches business leaders and speaks to associations and businesses. She is an expert source on the topic of marketing for small businesses and start-ups. Please contact her for more information.

YouTubers bring audience to Ford-sponsored NBC reality series
Think reality TV is saturated with product placement? Meet Escape Routes , which uses large amounts of screen time to sell you on the Ford Escape. But there is some interesting digital innovation involved -- in the structure of the show and in the casting.
Think reality TV is saturated with product placement? Meet Escape Routes, just finishing its run on NBC Saturday nights at 8 PM (as well as on Hulu), and using large amounts of screen time to sell you Zynga games, iPads and, above all else, the Ford Escape. Despite the level of salesmanship involved, though, there are some interesting digital innovations in the structure of the show and in the casting.
The show, co-hosted by ubiquitous representative of online culture iJustine, features six teams competing against each other in various challenges. Not much new there. The real innovation, though, happens through the official website, created by digital ad agency Rokkan, which allows viewers not only to interact with the contestants, but also to actually participate in the competition as members of "virtual teams," helping their favorite duo win challenges. In addition, the site tracks contestants' rankings, which is where things get interesting.
In the first episode of the show, Escape Routes quickly introduces viewers to the teams: six pairs of photogenic young people (seriously, one team consists of two models). And while the teams are given arbitrary names based on the color of their product-placed cars, the White Team is far better known online as #TeamYouTube. Brett Lemick and Ross Everett, known on YouTube as BrettTheIntern and TheRossEverett, have both worked with YouTube talent company Maker Studios's network of channels.
This online presence gave them an early leg up in building their virtual team. "As soon as they were cast on the show, they started encouraging the audience they already had to follow the show — they hit the ground running," Rokkan VP of Technology Jim Blackwelder said in a phone interview. In the premiere, as contestants struggle to engage their social networks to solve a basic challenge, Lemick and Everett are shown easily setting up their live feed and interacting with fans.
With support from other YouTubers like ShayCarl (a Maker Studios co-founder), Lemick and Everett are dominating the competition. On the eve of the final episode, the pair were in second place, but they've been in first place in previous weeks. And here's the most important metric: They currently have over 8,400 fans on the site, by far the most out of the other teams (brother musicians Drew and Derek have the second highest number of fans at approximately 4,200).
That matters to Rokkan because one of the primary ways the company measures success for this branded content is through site traffic. While the official site's use of Ford logos and language is relatively subdued, "Every moment on the site is engagement with the brand," Rokkan CEO John Noe said via phone.
The product placement is blatant but this level of online and offline engagement is intriguing. If this sort of audience interactivity is the future of reality TV, then casting directors might want to rely heavily on YouTube creators going forward. Because when it comes to challenges based on building an online audience, the advantage an experienced YouTuber has is distinctly unfair.

By Gregory Lang and Janet Lankford-Moran
"A son needs a dad who knows how to have fun," Gregory Lang begins this testimony to the important roles fathers play in their sons' lives.
Increasingly in today's world, young boys are being raised either without a father or by fathers who have very little involvement in their sons' upbringing. A boy needs a dad to teach him how things work, how to talk with girls and how to tie a tie. He also needs a father who is willing to make sacrifices, one who shows him that love is unselfish and pulls him back when he is headed in the wrong direction. These and more than 90 other things are what a boy must learn about becoming a man. The result is a sequel to the New York Times bestseller "Why a Daughter Needs a Dad."
The relationship between father and son is both simple and complex: simple in that a father remembers the things he learned as a boy and passes them on to his son, complex in that it is filled with quiet hugs and laughter, the comfort of familiarity and the adventure of discovery – and the creation of a history from which they both may draw strength and wisdom.
Today Gregory Lang remembers his dad as someone he worshiped as a child, disfavored as a teenager – and now deeply admires. "On my mantle, next to a high school portrait of my mom and amid many photographs of my daughter," he writes, "sits a picture of my dad and me our front yard. He is squatting down, his arms wrapped around me as I stand between his knees. Sometimes I stand before this mantle and look at those photographs and realize how blessed I am." Now that he is a father himself, Lang realizes that being a dad is the greatest challenge and reward a man can have.
As a very special added bonus, when you purchase "Why a Son Needs a Dad" from WND's online store, you can also receive – FREE – three issues of our acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, which many have called the best news magazine in the world. That's a $22.50 free value! (Offer good in the U.S. only.) Watch for the free offer during checkout.

RALEIGH — Following a deadly shooting earlier this week, the state's Alcoholic Beverage Control board has suspended Club Bodi's alcohol license, effectively shutting down the troubled downtown nightclub.
The one-page order, dated Thursday, cites the shooting outside the club early Sunday that left 26-year-old Vernon Oneal Jones Jr. dead.
The commission found that the club's "disregard for safety and continuing violation of law … creates a hazardous environment for the public and law enforcement personnel," according to the document.
The order shows that Club Bodi's owners were warned twice within the past year that their liquor license was in jeopardy. The reasons for the earlier actions included tax and hours of operation violations, as well as violence.
Bodi has been plagued by criminal issues in recent years: shootings, assaults, drug violations and larcenies, according to police records.
The earlier warnings from the ABC commission were issued in January and May.
Could not be reached
The order gives Club Bodi 60 days to request a hearing on the case before an administrative law judge. The owner of Club Bodi, listed in state records as Peggy Rohm of Soze Entertainment LLC, could not be reached for comment Friday. Records show the company also owns Capital Cabaret, a strip club in Morrisville.
A person answering the phone at a promoter listed for a Friday night event at Club Bodi said he was unaware of the alcohol permit suspension.
Raleigh City Councilwoman Mary-Ann Baldwin called on city attorneys Tuesday to investigate any violations at the club.
City Attorney Tom McCormick said Friday that he's still compiling police records. Raleigh can provide data to the ABC commission, but it can also take separate legal action, he said.

Blackout postpones Moorpark College football game
Moorpark will head back to L.A. Pierce on Monday
WOODLAND HILLS —Blackouts are usually the bane of TV-watching football fans on Sundays, but a power failure at Los Angeles Pierce College forced the postponement of Saturday night's Moorpark College (1-3) road test against the Brahmas (4-1).
"There was a car accident on Winnetka that blew out the transformer," said Moorpark College athletic director Howard Davis. "They said (Sunday) would be the earliest they can get the power back on."
The Raiders will now have to wait until Monday at 6 p.m. to face their rivals from the American Division.
Power went out at John Shepherd Stadium approximately 10 minutes before the scheduled 7 p.m. kickoff. Captains for both teams met for the coin toss at midfield under the ever-increasing shroud of dusk, before the officials put a halt to the proceedings due to darkness.
The game's false start was taken in stride by the Raiders.
"One of our guys thought it was going to be an epic entrance for Pierce College at the time the lights went out," said Moorpark head coach Will Thurston.
With the move to Monday, the new start time allows both sides an extra day to prepare for the game.
"It's going to allow a couple guys to get healed up, and the players will adjust their schedules accordingly," Thurston said.
Though an odd and infrequent spectacle, power outages have affected football games in Ventura County and at the SCFA level before. Last season, power was lost for a stretch at Oaks Christian School in a game against St. Bonaventure.
"(It's the first time) it's happened to us, but last year Saddleback was at Bakersfield and had a lightning situation where they had to come back Monday and play," said Davis.

CARY — Year by year, lesson by lesson, Melissa DeRosier has transformed a company founded in her attic into a 75-member team that develops better ways to deliver social solutions to the masses.
Shes changing families lives, said Lynn Douthett, the U.S. Small Business Administrations North Carolina District director. Shes changing health care professionals lives all across the country.
DeRosier founded 3C Institute in 2001 and initially developed and sold research-driven social skills assessment and improvement programs to teachers and parents.
Nearly 13 years later, 3C has garnered more than $25 million in mostly federal grants and is preparing to move yet again to a 22,000-square-foot space in Research Triangle Park. An outpatient mental health clinic for children and families will remain in Cary.
The new space will house the companys research projects and a pipeline of workers who can customize digital information delivery systems, including intelligent games, e-training platforms and web-based assessments, for 3C Institute and other companies.
On Friday, DeRosier was the first to be recognized by the SBAs North Carolina District with an Award of Excellence for Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship, which highlights entrepreneurs who find unique and novel solutions to social problems, Douthett said.
Humble beginnings
DeRosier, a licensed clinical psychologist, received her doctorate from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1992 and completed a two-year fellowship at Duke University Medical Center.
She then worked on a five-year federal grant examining bullying and violence prevention in Wake County schools. In the fourth year of the grant, DeRosier started contemplating her career path.
She wanted to address a research to practice gap. Teachers and schools were using unproven programs to improve social skills and emotional health, and not research-based programs.
So DeRosier founded her company, worked in her attic office and sought Small Business Innovative Research grants.
SBIR program funding is given through a competitive process to small companies to explore the feasibility of an idea or technology, expand federal research and, ultimately, bring the innovation to the marketplace, said John Ujvari, an SBIR program specialist for the N.C. Small Business & Technology Development Center.
Eleven federal agencies award SBIR grants or contracts to businesses with less than 500 employees. North Carolina companies collect about $60 million of the $2.5 billion SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer funds, which seeks to promote technological innovation, Ujvari said.
You have to have, first, an innovative idea, a novel idea that fits with one of the 11 participating agencies missions, Ujvari said. No. 2, they do look at very carefully who the team is that is going to be carrying out the research and development that is funded.
The funding is generally broken into two phases.
Phase one allows grantees to carry out a proof-of-concept study with funding of generally up to $150,000 for six months.
After a report is submitted, the federal agency then decides whether to fund the second phase of the project with funds that generally do not exceed $1 million for two years.
That funding is to build on what you do in phase one, but the end goal of the phase two is to have a finished product, that is ready to sell, Ujvari said.
In phase three, which isnt funded, the company is expected to pursue commercialization, through options such as in-house sales, licensing or distribution arrangements. Many technologies, such as pharmaceuticals, are often not able to be fully developed just through SBIR funding.
Thats where equity funding often comes in, he said.
SBIR awardees likelihood of successfully attracting additional funding is about 1 in 9,he said.
Its a great leveraging tool, he said.
Developing a product
DeRosier received phase one funding from the National Institute of Mental Health for three proposals. The proposals included researching options for parent training in social skills development, a social skills program for children with high-functioning autism, and social skills assessment software that could be used in schools.
DeRosier moved into a small office space and hired four part-time employees. They developed the initial prototypes, submitted the reports and waited for months.
She eventually learned the parent training program and the autism social skills programs would receive funding for phase two, which generally takes three to five years, she said. They developed the curriculum and completed a clinical trial.
Over time, the company got into a groove of applying for and obtaining grants and established a set of products dubbed S.S. Grin that help improve social skills in children ages 3 to 16.
Then what happens is you start releasing products and you start building your commercialization side of the company, she said.
DeRosier sold S.S. Grin kits to schools, teachers and parents. The kits included a one-time training session and related curriculum. After monitoring the programs use in Chapel Hill schools, DeRosier noticed various barriers to extensive and consistent use that included price, teacher turnover and lack of access to ongoing training and support, she said.
Technology to me was and is the answer, she said.
The company started to incorporate online manuals, quick tips, and ongoing support through email and other options.
That discovery and implementation lead to 3C Institute establishing three different virtual information delivery systems that the company can customize and sell to other businesses facing similar challenges.
So we have devoted the last eight years or more to developing different technologies so that we can implement or scale up these programs so more kids can benefit, she said. We are really a technology solutions company now.

Our Toy Industry Foundation (TIF) has formed a wonderful partnership
with the My
Stuff Bags Foundation to provide duffels filled with new
belongings to children in crisis who often enter shelters and foster
care with nothing of their own. The toys and financial support
provided by TIF to the My Stuff Bags Foundation have provided comfort to
thousands of children.
On Tuesday, May 19, we have a golden opportunity for small, medium
and large TIA member companies to chip in their time and effort on
behalf of abused, abandoned and neglected children. On that day,
TIA and the My Stuff Bags Foundation will host the Do Good Stuff-A-Thon
in Westlake Village, CA to stuff thousands of duffle bags with toys and
other comforts for distribution to children in need. Already, we
have volunteers from many of our most prominent toy companies, including
Mattel, JAKKS Pacific, and Funrise, but we need more stuffers to get the
job done!
Not only is this a chance for you to help children and share a
worthwhile effort with colleagues in the toy industry, the event will be
attended by several C alifornia legislators and the media. This is
a great opportunity for our industry to demonstrate to local media and
politicians how toy companies truly care for children. And since
California is a top priority state when it comes to toy legislation,
this is the time for the industry to shine.
We need more volunteers for this important event, and I hope you will
help. To register as a Do Good Stuffer, or for more information,
please contact Foundation Manager Amanda
McDorman (tel: 646.520.4878).
Regards to all,
Carter Keithley

Father / Son Fly-in Fishing Special
Fly-in & Fly-out for 5 days of Canadian fishing with your son
They grow up so very fast, and then don't have time for a trip with "the ol' man." Here's a chance to make a memory that can last a lifetime. After spending Sunday night with us at our lakeside base (with an automatic free upgrade to one of our motel rooms if one is available at the time of your reservation), you and your minor aged child (17 and under) will fly by float plane and then catch a water shuttle towboat to the remote portage at Brewer Rapids. Within a few hours of paddling, set up your four-night base camp using our SILVER package, and quiet Royalex canoes. When your casting arm gets tired, take a side trip to Rebecca Falls or over to see ancestral cliff paintings pre-dating all European explorers. On Day 5, rendezvous with your towboat and floatplane to return to our base. We include a last night stay at our base.

SEN CARL LEVIN (D-MI): "Now, in terms of the weapons coming in from Syria, those weapons that you've described as coming in from Syria and perhaps other Sunni neighbors are killing our troops. Do we have a plan to address the Syrian weapon source — of killings of our troops?"JOHN MCCONNELL, Director of National Intelligence: "Sir, I know the military is working that border area to close it down from not only weapons but also jihadists coming in —"LEVIN: "It's more than just — we're trying to close down the Iranian border area too. The problem is that these weapons are coming from a state which is — doesn't recognize Israel either, just like Iran doesn't. We've got to try to stop weapons coming into Iraq from any source that are killing our troops. I agree with the comments about trying to stop them coming in from Iran, I think we have to try stop them that are going to the Sunni insurgents as well as to the Shia. I was just wondering, does the military have a plan to, if necessary, to go into Syria to go to the source of any weapons coming from Syria? That are going to Sunni insurgents? That are killing our troops? … I think we ought to take action on all fronts including Syria and any other source of weapons coming in, obviously Iran is the focus – but it shouldn't be the sole focus." (Armed Services Committee, U.S. Senate, Hearing, 02/27/07)
but that doesn't mean that if action occurred against Syria tomorrow that Levin et. al would support it.
Stand by for a Matt Stoller meltdown.
Unfortunately if we've been able to link arms to the Syrian -government- in the way we have with Iran, I haven't heard about it.

My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
I had a potential exposure in early October (received oral sex, gave oral sex for less than 15 seconds, was fingered in anus for extended periods of time, and the guy put his penis near/in my anus (can't remember if he penetrated, but I was diagnosed with Gonorrhea with an anal swab, and treated it).
I was put on PEP (Isentress + Truvada) within 24 hours and took the 30 day regimen as prescribed.
I subsequently took my first Rapid HIV Test (Antibodies) 6 weeks post exposure, but it was only 10-11 days after I was taken off the PEP, and the results came back negative.
I was wondering how accurate those results are, and I wanted to assess whether contracting Gonorrhea from this experience increases my chances of contracting HIV by a lot.
I am planning to go do another rapid HIV test in 5 weeks, but it is causing me a lot of anxiety as I read online that PEP might affect the "window period".
Any feedback on my current situation would be appreciated. Thanks!
In your case, the fingering in the anus (both giving and receiving; you did not indicate which took place) presents NO risk to you. Unprotected oral sex (both giving and receiving) carries an estimated risk of .5 to 1 per 10,000 exposures with a source KNOWN to carry the virus. If you are unaware of your partners status, the risk would be even lower.
If the anal contact involved only frottage, this is not considered a risk for HIV transmission.
Assuming that you picked up the gonorrhea (i.e., were not previous infected with this bacterial based STD) from the frottage is not unreasonable. These bacterial based STD's only require contact with mucous membranes for transmission as opposed to HIV which must enter body issues (typically through an open cut, tear, wound) for transmission to take place. This is why bacterial based STD's (gonorrhea, chlamydia) are FAR more prevalent issues than HIV.
The fact that you picked up this STD in no way increases your chances of contracting HIV.
I hope this helps to ease your concerns a bit as you wait for further test results.
Thank you for your detailed response, it definitely has given me some reassurance on some of my concerns. I had a few other questions I wanted to ask you in regards to my situation, and whether you would be able to give any additional input:
1) I mentioned that I was treated for Gonorrhea during my PEP regimen (I took oral antibiotics); would this have any chance of reducing the PEP effectiveness or skewing the rapid HIV testing results? (I took these antibiotics around 15-18 day of PEP regiment)
2) In regards to the Gonorrhea exposure, I am fairly confident that I picked it up with this encounter, and I had not had sexual relations for more than a year before it. Additionally, I started having anal pains (a bump) as well as bowel pains around two weeks after the encounter. I read online that it could a symptom of gonorrhea? I went to the doctor during that time to get an anal swab done, and they thought it was hemorrhoids as well.
3) During my PEP regimen, I also took some other antibiotics (7 days) for hemorrhoids (my doctor prescribed it to me believing that my anal pains were from hemorrhoids). Once again, would this have any effect on the effectiveness of PEP and/or the rapid HIV test results?
4) You mentioned in your post that PEP doesn't have statistical proofing to delay the "window period". As such, what accuracy would testing at 6 weeks be?
Thanks once again for answering my questions. I know that I am asking very detailed questions, but any input on it would be fantastic.
I really appreciate the time you have put in answering this board's numerous questions, thanks!
With current screening methods. the majority (95 percent) of newly infected folks would have enough antibodies present 1 month after transmission to show a "reactive" (positive) screening result. At three months this percentage has increased to 99.9 percent. Six weeks would fall somewhere inbetween this. Thus, it would be highly, highly unusual that someone would test negative at six weeks and positive at twelve.
The very small percentage of those who would need to wait for final screening at the six month mark are those whose immune systems have already been damaged by other, very serious medical issues and who may be slower at producing antibodies since the screening tests do not look for the presence of the actual virus but rather antibodies the immune system begins to produce after transmission. This group could includes folks who have recently undergone chemotherapy or those who have received an organ transplant and are on immune suppressing medications.
My anxiety had subsided for a little bit after your post last week. However,it has come back as I have had a cold/sore throat, making me anxious of ARS related symptoms. Thought I could ask you a few more questions to see if I can get any further reassurance:
1) From your experience (on the board, etc.), have you seen any individual who tested negative at 6 weeks change results?
2) I mentioned in my original post that the activity consisted of fingering (I was the receptive person for this). I have never been anally penetrated before, and am now having doubts whether during the "fingering" session, if the partner had also penetrated me with his penis, which is causing me doubts.
3) Do you think there would be any benefits of getting testing again (9 weeks post-exposure, 3 weeks post-PEP) this week, or should I just wait it out for the 11/12 week post-exposure, 5-6 week post-PEP).
4) I also read online that PEP is around 80-85% effective, does that already remove individuals who have not taken it as prescribed, etc.? I have never missed a dosage, but the times I have taken it have not always been firmly "consistent". For instance, I would take my morning dose from between the time of 8-9am, and the afternoon dose from 5-6pm. Would the spacing of the medication be a problem?
Thanks once again, I really appreciate it.
2. I suspect it would be rather hard to miss being anally penetrated with a penis.
3. Medically there would be no benefit to getting a 9 week test.
4. You took your PEP quite accurately.

DTE Energy recently kicked off its 2009 Energy & Our World Mini Grants for Educators program. The program offers small grants, typically up to $250, to help individual K-12 educators fund science programs that they otherwise couldn't afford.
"These grants provide teachers with funding for special science projects that school budgets typically cannot afford," said Carol Moore of DTE Energy Education and Community Relations in a statement released last week. "Last year the program awarded grants to 142 teachers for really wonderful projects that helped students better understand energy and the energy industry."
According to DTE Energy, "This year the DTE Energy Foundation is especially interested in funding projects that teach students about power generation, energy distribution, renewable energy technologies, environmental issues and energy conservation." The company said awards typically range from $50 to $250, though funding does sometimes go higher.
The grants program is open now to all K-12 educators within DTE Energy's service territory. The application period ends Nov. 21, and grants will be awarded within the first three months of 2009. Further information, including a grant application, can be found here.

A Madison circuit judge has ruled that state troopers did not violate a murder suspect's rights when they entered his Richmond home prior to obtaining a search warrant.
Judge William G. Clouse also ruled the KSP did not intentionally mislead or provide false information in the affidavit used to obtain a search warrant and gather evidence from Jason Singleton's Forest Hill Drive home.
Singleton, 36, and Christina Marcum, 29, are charged with murder in the death of 24-year-old Angela Frazier-Singleton, Jason's wife. Frazier-Singleton's dismembered body was found Jan. 19, 2011, in trash bags at the end of Tattler Branch Road in the Valley View community.
Singleton's attorney, Jim Baechtold, made the arguments at the Friday morning hearing in an attempt to keep evidence collected inside Singleton's home from being allowed at trial.
Singleton and Marcum are set for trial 9 a.m. March 11.
Securing the house
At Friday's hearing, which lasted all morning, three Kentucky State Police trooper were called to testify.
The first, Detective Edwin Botkin, testified about how he and two other troopers secured Singleton's house prior to obtaining a search warrant Jan. 20, 2011.
Botkin said he was instructed to park his unmarked vehicle outside Singleton's home and observe the residence while another trooper prepared a search warrant affidavit. An affidavit is a written document that outlines the reasons why, based on information gathered during an investigation, officers believe a crime has taken place, and a private area needs to be searched for evidence. The affidavit is presented to a judge, who then decides whether there is probable cause to approve a search warrant.
Frazier-Singleton's body had been discovered the day before, and Botkin had been investigating her disappearance. She was reported missing Jan. 17 by her mother, and on that same day, Frazier-Singleton's empty car was discovered on Interstate 75.
Botkin said he noticed the garage door and the interior door leading into the house from the garage of Singleton's home was open. He also said he could smell smoke in the air, indicating something had recently been burned.
Two other KSP troopers then arrived, Detective Chris Short and Trooper Don Foley, and the three men were ordered by Lt. Blake Slone to enter the house and secure it, Botkin said.
Botkin said the troopers entered to ensure there were no suspects or victims inside and that evidence wasn't being destroyed.
The troopers were in the house for nine minutes, opening doors and closets, anywhere that a person could be, both Botkin and Short testified. No evidence was seized at the time.
"We were told to secure the house," Short said. "I didn't see any problem with that, so we did."
When Short took the stand, he said once inside the interior garage door, he saw a knife on the floor. At the top of the stairs, he said it appeared carpet had been pulled up and a hole cut in the subfloor. A handheld circular saw was near the hole, he added.
Short also said there was soot throughout the house, and it appeared something had been recently burnt in the two fireplaces.

The Explanation
(for those who require one)
And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."

Hoboken police say Apple laptops and other electronics worth several thousand dollars were stolen from at least three different apartments over the last week.
On Monday night, a 25-year-old Sixth St. resident said she came home from work around 7 p.m. and later discovered two of her roommate's silver MacBook Airs and a Gucci watch were gone, reports said.
A 33-year-old Bloomfield St. man told police his black MacBook had also been stolen that night, reports said. He came home from work around 10 p.m., but did not notice the laptop was missing until he went to bed at midnight and found that it was gone from its usual spot under his pillow, reports said. The 33-year-old believes he may have left his apartment door unlocked, reports said.
One week ago, two 24-year-old roommates, students at Stevens Institute of Technology reported $200 in cash, a Nikon camera, three laptops and other Apple products missing from their Washington St. apartment, reports said. One roommate said he locked the door when he left around noon, and when he got back to the apartment and attempted to open the door with his key, he found the door was unlocked, reports said.
In all three cases, police say there was no sign of forced entry to the buildings or the apartment doors.
Hoboken police are still investigating the thefts, and no arrests have been made.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Lawmakers are working through the weekend to come up with a workable economic stimulus plan.
Senators met Saturday in a rare session to hash out details on the plan. It's on track for a vote on Tuesday. This comes after the White House and Democrats reached a compromise with moderate Republicans to trim more than 100 billion dollars from the bill.
That cuts out some 40 billion dollars in aid that would have gone to state governments for some programs, including education. Right now, the cost stands at $827 billion.
Metro leaders are keeping a close eye on Congress as well. It's still not clear just how much could be coming to federal, state and local governments, but some could be in line for some big bucks.
Metro would likely see money pumped into schools, law enforcement, and transportation. As far as transportation some in the mayor's office are hoping for improvements that would convince some to get out of the car and walk or ride a bike to get from point "A" to point "B".
"This winter it's been pretty chilly. So I really haven't been out here. This is the first time this year," said Nashville resident, Keith Vogt.
When Keith Vogt's wheels are in motion he leaves his worries in the rearview mirror.
"Everything you know a lot of people are losing their jobs and stuff like that. It's cheap entertainment. Plus you're getting your exercise," said Keith Vogt.
But to Keith, biking is more than a recreation, but a mode of transportation.
"I bicycle to work every once in a while. And my friend he does to," said Vogt.
It's the mindset Metro Mayor Karl Dean wants to see catch on. Which is why the mayor has put together bicycle pedestrian advisory committee.
Metro's Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator, Toks Omishakin, says the group's focus is creating a long term plan. More sidewalks, bike lanes, and greenways may make walking and biking a more attractive mode of transportation.
"Increase people's access to them. And get people walking and biking more for from an environmental perspective and then a quality of life perspective also," said Toks Omishakin.
A new economic stimulus package just might put dollars towards the vision. During these tough economic times, some taxpayers say other issues need to be addressed.
"Public safety and education would probably be a good thing to look at as opposed to - you know this is important. But I put those two above it," said Nashville resident mark Simmons.
Regardless of how the dollars drop, Keith Vogt says Metro is moving in the right direction.
"It's a good idea because I think everybody likes to bicycle or walk nowadays," said Vogt.
When it comes to bicycle and pedestrian issues Metro officials have their work cut out for them.
Funding is one of the biggest challenges. Still the Mayor's office is optimistic about what the future holds.
The Metro Planning Organization is also asking for your ideas on bicycle and pedestrian issues.
They've created an online survey.

Bonnie and Clyde's Smith & Wesson Revolver founded in perforated Ford V8 after their deaths is up for grabs
At approximately 9:15 am on 23rd May 1934, the notorious Great Depression-era criminals, outlaws, and loving-couple Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow while driving a stolen Ford V8 Deluxe on a rural road in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, were ambushed and shot to death in a hail of bullets by a posse four Texas and two Louisiana officers.
At that time, the temporary deafened officers inspected the heavily perforated vehicle and discovered an arsenal of weapons including stolen automatic rifles, sawed-off semi-automatic shotguns, assorted handguns, and several thousand rounds of ammunition, along with 15 sets of license plates from various states. And interestingly, some of those guns of the most legendary outlaws in American history who were immortalized in Arthur Penn's classic 1967 film frequently comes on the auction blocks and fetches huge prices. Last year, the Bonnie and Clyde's weapons including a Colt .38-caliber revolver and .45 caliber pistol, were bought by a single bidder for $504,000 at RR Auction in Amherst, and this year a Smith & Wesson .32L caliber revolver that was taken from the ill-fated car of the young gangster couple in love, will be sold to the highest bidder on Saturday, Feb 2nd by Mayo Auction & Realty.
This particular Bonnie and Clyde gun which is regarded to be the highlight of the auction which offers over 250 noted firearms, was first removed from the stolen Ford by Louisiana Deputy Sheriff Reginald Hightower, who was however not present at the ambush.
Later, when the Barrow family threatened a lawsuit for the return of the car's contents, Hightower gave the gun to his sister-in-law, Vern, a widow, for protection.
However, Vern kept the gun with her until early 1980s, when she gave it to Dr. Rich's father, A.D. Rich, who was managing Vern's bills and keeping up her house.
Additionally, watch out the iconic final scene where Bonnie and Clyde meet their ill-fate. This death scene has become legendary not only for the rapid-fire editing, but also the blood-soaked approach to depicting death on film.

Kevin Durant started the third quarter hot while LeBron James started the quarter cold, but a series of fouls turned the period in Miami's favor. Oklahoma City jumped out to a nine-point lead in the first five minutes of the quarter, but Durant picked up his fourth personal foul with 5:41 remaining and sat the rest of the quarter. Serge Ibaka and Derek Fisher followed that up with a couple of bad fouls of their own, and that turned the momentum of the quarter. A nine-point Thunder lead evaporated, and the Heat lead 69-67 with one quarter to play.
Incredibly, the Heat still aren't making jump shots. James hit a big three-pointer to give the Heat the lead at the very end of the quarter, but their outside shooting has still been absolutely abysmal. The Heat are now 6-30 on the night, which represents an improvement. They made three of those jumpers in the third quarter.
The Heat are currently living at the free throw line, where they were 13-14 in the third quarter. They're 22-25 from the line at the night, with Dwyane Wade getting there more often than any of his teammates. He has 20 points to go along with seven assists and six rebounds. James already has a double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
On the other end, Durant is having a stellar night with 21 points on 9-13 shooting, but he can't score if he isn't on the floor. His fourth foul caused a massive disruption for the Thunder and has Miami not only leading by two points, but currently looking like the team with the momentum.

DEA, FBI join probe of assault on doctor, wife in their Bedford mansion
BEDFORD - The FBI and federal Drug Enforcement Administration have joined the investigation into the assaults of Eduardo and Sonia Quesada, the anesthesiologist and his wife injured in their Bedford home this past weekend, an official said.
The two agencies provide resources that can be helpful in the investigation, said Hillsborough County Attorney Dennis Hogan, whose prosecutors are involved in the case.
"It's not unusual," Hogan said. "In fact, I can think of a lot of different cases where the FBI is there as a resource, and that's certainly the case here."
On Saturday night, police answered a call for a burglary in progress and found the Quesadas badly injured in their upscale home at 7 Proclamation Court. Dr. Quesada is believed to have suffered serious wounds to his head. Sonia Quesada's injuries were less severe, and authorities said Tuesday they hoped to interview her soon and develop a description of the assailant.
A 2-year-old child in the home was unharmed and was placed in the custody of a relative.
The federal agents join a host of others involved in the case, including Bedford Police, the New Hampshire State Police Major Crime Unit, the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office and Hillsborough County Sheriff deputies.
The DEA involvement means that Bedford Police Chief John Bryfonski has tapped the agency where he worked for about 17 years before taking the top job in Bedford last year.
"They have things within their agency that may be useful in the investigation," said Hogan, who would not elaborate further.
While police were called to the house for a burglary in progress, Bryfonski has said he has not ruled out other explanations for the assaults.
In November 2001, police had made an arrest at that address on a domestic-related assault charge, but charges were dropped and the record has been annulled, the chief has said. Police were called to the home about 10 p.m. Saturday. Police have said there is no indication that Bedford residents should feel any less safe than usual.
