Jennifer Mora's labor and employment practice is unique in that she not only has broad subject matter experience, but she has developed a special expertise in and regularly advises employers and consumer reporting agencies on the intersection of federal and state background check laws (e.g., Title VII and the Fair Credit Reporting Act and their state law equivalents). She also regularly defends employers and consumer reporting agencies in federal and state courts against claims brought under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its state law equivalents. She writes extensively on background screening issues and has given numerous presentations on the topic.
Jennifer also represents and counsels employers in all aspects of traditional labor law, including investigating and responding to unfair labor practice charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board, assisting employers with collective bargaining negotiations and union campaigns, and arbitrating grievances involving employee discharges and contract interpretation issues. She interned with Region 19 of the National Labor Relations Board during law school.
Jennifer also has extensive experience defending employers in state and federal courts with a focus on litigating disability and failure to accommodate claims. Prior to joining Littler in 2007, she focused her practice exclusively on representing and defending employers on a wide range of labor and employment matters and has been doing so her entire career.

We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend. What a great view we had of Pikes Peak from our window. We were able to watch several firework shows from the window. The rooms are clean and spacious. The hotel is on a hill and isolated from traffic and other hotels. The only drawback is that you have to go north to Academy Blvd. to get to any restaurants, but the hotel was great. I would avoid the hotel restaurant at all costs, and I mean COSTS. The breakfast buffet was 14.95 and was the same that is provided at Comfort Suites for free. This would be your best bet for a hotel in this area.

Fresh Air Weekend: Civil War, 'Downton' And 'Girls'
Originally published on Sat January 12, 2013 10:43 am
Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors, and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
'The Fall Of The House Of Dixie' Built A New U.S.: In a new book, Civil War historian Bruce Levine says that from the destruction of the South emerged an entirely new country, making the Civil War equivalent to a second American Revolution. Integral to the Union's victory, he says, were the nearly 200,000 black soldiers who enlisted.
Julian Fellowes On The Rules Of 'Downton': On the hit Masterpiece Theater series, the social rules the characters have always known are changing as the world events of the 20th century unfold. The series' creator, Julian Fellowes, says his relatives who lived through that era inspired his lasting interest in class.
Season Two Brings Changes For 'Girls': The second season of the HBO series premieres this month, and Fresh Air critic David Bianculli says "these young women — these girls — really are changing and growing and adapting to tough life in the big city."
You can listen to the original interviews here:

Jazz Vocals
Acclaimed Vocalist Lizz Wright Signs with Concord Music Group
Concord Music Group is pleased to announce the signing of acclaimed vocalist Lizz Wright. Wright is currently recording in Los Angeles on what will be her first album since 2010's critically lauded Fellowship. The as-yet-untitled album is scheduled for release on September 8, 2015.
Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as a "vocalist of substance more devoted to song than to image," Wright possesses a remarkable ability to sing in multiple styles, including soul, jazz and gospel. Produced by Larry Klein, her Concord debut will feature a mix of cover songs along with collaborations with such noted songwriters as Klein, David Batteau, Maia Sharp, J.D. Souther, Toshi Reagon and Jesse Harris.
"Lizz is an extraordinary artist and we are very proud to welcome her to the Concord family," said Mark Wexler, General Manager/Senior Vice President, Concord-Telarc Group. "We all look forward to working with her in this next chapter of her ever-evolving career."
Known for topping the jazz charts, Wright is far from most people's idea of a traditional jazz singer. She grew up in Georgia and began singing gospel music at a young age, thanks to her father, a pianist and musical director at the local church. She has been the recipient of nonstop critical acclaim and ever-increasing audiences ever since her Verve debut, Salt, in 2003. Dreaming Wide Awake followed in June 2005. Wright released her third album, The Orchard, in 2008. In 2010, Wright returned with Fellowship, featuring guest performances from bassist Meshell Ndegeocello and vocalist Angélique Kidjo.
Kristin Chenoweth's Live Debut Out Now
Emmy and Tony Award-winning singer-actress Kristin Chenoweth has released her first live CD, Coming Home. A PBS concert special, Kristin Chenoweth: Coming Home, will air on November 28, 2014 and will be available on CD and DVD. Billboard recently premiered a "making of" video, which can be viewed here.
"The whole experience was very emotional," Kristin Chenoweth said of the historic performance that's captured on Coming Home, her debut release for Concord Records and first-ever live, career-spanning album.
The aptly titled, 15-song set captures the versatile star singing for a rapturously enthusiastic crowd at the Kristin Chenoweth Theatre in the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center in her hometown of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The personally charged concert finds Chenoweth accompanied by an expert 11-piece band incorporating strings, horns and woodwinds, along with a trio of backup vocalists and the Broken Arrow High School Choir. The set list spans her entire stage and screen career and encompasses the breadth of her musical interests, incorporating Broadway classics, timeless pop standards and contemporary material, covering a remarkable amount of stylistic ground while providing a compelling showcase for Chenoweth's abundant talent and charisma.
"When I'm in a concert setting, I don't have to play a role," she notes. "It's more of a challenge to sing as yourself, because you can go to a very raw place that you don't always want to share, or maybe you don't mean for it to come out. But it's all part of being an artist and letting people see who you are. And hopefully when people listen to this CD, they'll have a better idea, or maybe even a different idea, of who Kristin Chenoweth is."
For more on Kristin's thoughts about her new album, you can check out Perez Hilton's exclusive interview here.

Madeleine Peyroux's First-Ever Career Retrospective
Rounder Records is pleased to announce the release of Keep Me in Your Heart for a While: The Best of Madeleine Peyroux, the debut anthology of the critically acclaimed, singer-songwriter's nearly 20-year career. The album includes favorites not only from Peyroux's releases with Rounder, but also tracks from her Atlantic and Decca/Emarcy catalogs. Additionally, the compilation includes one previously unreleased recording—the collection's title track and Warren Zevon cover, "Keep Me in Your Heart"—which appeared in 2011's independent film Union Square. Liner notes by former Atlantic Records A&R man, Yves Beauvais, who discovered Peyroux, complete the package.
Peyroux, whose voice has often been compared to that of Billie Holiday's, was discovered while in her early twenties, when Beauvais spotted her at a New York club. He recalls the worldly singer's set to be "some of the most exciting, viscerally moving minutes of my music-listening life." Beauvais subsequently signed Peyroux to Atlantic and co-produced her 1996 debut Dreamland. And the rest, as they say, is history.
A living document of her artistic metamorphoses, Keep Me in Your Heart for a While… combines the poignant with the charming, the old with the new, and the standard favorites with the original compositions. Beauvais writes of his protégé, "Whether she sings Leonard Cohen ("Dance Me to the End of Love"), Bob Dylan ("You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go") Charlie Chaplin ("Smile"), Edith Piaf ("La Vie en Rose"), or post-punk songster Elliott Smith ("Between the Bars"), [Madeleine] brings to this most diverse material the same beguilingly cautious, respectful, and crystal clear way with the melody, the same revelatory focus to the lyric's delivery."

The album includes classics from the Great American Songbook including such gems from the repertoire as George and Ira Gershwin's "Love Is Here to Stay," Jerome Kern's "The Way You Look Tonight," and "If I Were a Bell," from Guys and Dolls, as well as three songs written or co-written by Stigers, including the title track, "Hooray for Love," "Give Your Heart to Me," and "A Matter of Time." Of his new album, Stigers comments, "On almost all of my Concord records, I've done a standard or two and lot of songs by modern songwriters. This time around, I've flipped it and recorded mostly standards with a few modern songs."
A seamless combination of old and new songs, a classic pop album recorded with jazz musicians and a jazz sensibility, Hooray for Love is a celebration of this universal human condition. "I set out for this album to be like an old Nat King Cole record from the '50s. I've had a lot of people ask me to do more standards, not critics or record companies, but friends. So, I had a running list of songs that I love and have always wanted to record. This time it really made sense."
As with most of Stigers' recordings, he is very comfortable juxtaposing standards with modern songs. In addition to the songs penned by Stigers, Hooray for Love also includes a Steve Earle song called "Valentine's Day," included because, as Stigers notes, "I like songs with stories that are told from a point of view of someone that is flawed, and this narrator is, although he ultimately redeems himself with some very romantic wordplay. I think that, while it's important to keep the Great American Songbook alive, it's equally important to be open to adding to it."
Recorded at Brooklyn Recording studio, Hooray for Love was produced by Stigers and John "Scrapper" Sneider and features musicians Matthew Fries (piano), Keith Hall (drums), Cliff Schmitt (bass), Matt Munisteri (guitar), and Sneider (trumpet).

Water Arc Welcome
Monday 28 November 2011Exeter Airport played an important role in the celebrations to mark the delivery of Flybe's first two E175 jet aircraft when the airport fire service provided a spectacular water arc.
The arc, a traditional form of welcome for aircraft joining the fleet and the first for the airport, was created when two fire tenders on either side of the taxiway near the fire station sent water under high pressure 50 metres into the air. Those watching the welcome included Flybe's Director of Engineering Stefan Kontorravdis and Andrew Strong, Managing Director of Flybe UK who commented: "The water arc is a tremendous sight and I'm particularly grateful to our friends at Exeter Airport for arranging such a great display."
"The arrival of the first two new Embraer aircraft is a significant moment in Flybe's history. The financing with BNDES, Brazilian Export Development Bank, secured all planned aircraft financing requirements through to July 2014 and is an important milestone for Flybe, sending out a very clear message that the business is in robust financial health.
"The aircraft will be in service in the next few weeks, once the relevant approval has been gained from the CAA, and I'm sure Flybe passengers around the UK and Europe will be impressed by the comfort, speed, reliability and performance of one of the world's finest aeroplanes."

Management Bachelors of Science in Business Administration
Primary objective of the Department of Management is to educate students in the skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to perform the basic tasks of management. Course offerings are designed to demonstrate how managers, as decision makers, affect organizational efficiency and effectiveness by considering the impact of environment, technology, administrative structure, information and human resources. General skills emphasized are problem identification, analysis and solutions. Specializations in entrepreneurship, human resource management and general management are available.

No certificates are offered for this major.
Internships are academic courses that allow students to apply classroom theory in a practical work setting and gain personal, academic and work competencies.
- One semester
- Major-related
- Off-campus
- Usually for credit
- Paid or unpaid
- Structured for learning
For this course you are expected to work a minimum of 20 hours a week for 15 weeks or a total of 300 hours per term. The internship must relate to and expand upon your management coursework. Present positions with an employer do not qualify for internship credit. Internships that deal primarily with marketing or finance, for example, will be referred to those departments. A mid-term paper and end of semester report are also expected, which describe your work experience and what you have learned while participating in the internship. The mid-term and end-of-semester papers must be at least 5 and 10 pages in length, respectively. Each student will also be required to submit two evaluation forms by the end of the semester. The first will be an evaluation of the internship organization, which will be submitted to the Internship Coordinator. The second will be an evaluation of the Internship Coordinator, which will be submitted to the Management Department Chair. In addition, at the end of the semester your supervisor in the internship organization will complete an evaluation of you, the student intern. A learning agreement will be signed by each student who registers for an internship and bi-weekly reports must be submitted in order to account for the completion of the mandatory hours.
Internships count for three hours of elective credit toward the bachelor's degree. Students will receive a letter grade for their internship that will be contingent upon their success in the internship and the quality of the work they submit to the internship coordinator. Applicants must be of junior or senior class standing, have a declared a major in Management, and have a minimum of a 3.0 GPA in the Management Major as well as a 2.75 overall GPA. Students are required to seek Management Department approval for internship positions prior to accepting them.
Internships which work with all majors are available to all students at the University of Central Florida for elective credit through the Office of Experiential Learning.

Region: Southwest
Topic: Pollinators
Title: Smarty Plants on pollinators
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I am researching threatened pollinators in Texas and elsewhere - bees, butterflies, hummingbirds. I would like your input on the subject.
ANSWER:The US Fish and Wildlife Service web page shows all animals and plants listed under the US Endangered Species Act. There are no bees or hummingbirds listed as threatened or endangered anywhere in the United States. There are several species of butterflies in California, a few in Colorado and a few in the eastern United States that are on the list, but there are no threatened or endangered butterflies listed in Texas. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department web page also lists animals and plants under both the federal and state threatened and endangered species regulations. Again, no bees, butterflies, or hummingbirds appear on the Texas list. You can find a list of Butterflies of North America on the USGS, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center web page and read the Nature Conservancy Global Rank for conserving individual butterfly species. You can search through the list and find several that the Nature Conservancy deems "threatened throughout its range" that are not on the USFWS Threatened and Endangered Species list.

Jasmine Rice
Strangely enough, I grew up with rice on the menu. (Strange because parents were staunch gardeners and a wee pinched for money, so 97% of our meals were from the garden, cow shed or hen house.)
Over the years, my perception of rice changed, or maybe the rice itself differed. What was once a flavorful and aromatic adjunct served plain with a bit of butter, or tossed into the chicken soup, or used for rice pudding or quiche crust, rice became [to me] nothing more than tasteless. A blob of blah, grains of white with nothing to contribute to the dish. I really think it was my tastebuds... but a while back, DH brought home a bag of Jasmine Rice.
Oh wow! Cooking it, I was tossed back to the scents of childhood dinners. This actually *smelled* like rice, and tasting it, yes, it *tastes* like rice. Nothing fancy, it's just what I remember rice being. It has flavor, texture, and aroma that all say RICE.
If you have found yourself thinking rice is blah, try some Jasmine Rice and see if you too have a recovery of the taste buds.
I buy 5lb bags of Jasmine rice from the Bermese grocery stores in my neighborhood. I love it so much i can eat it cold. I like to cook it with a pinch of grated ginger and some curried salt. You are right nothing compares with the scent..its pure heaven for me.
Lots of different kinds of rice are out there and fun for the taste buds.
I like the Jasmine, Basmati and black wild rice.
Here is a link that might be useful: Rice: History & Types Of Rice
Have any of you tried Royal Blend rice and grain mixes? Totally delicious! The talk about how wonderful the aroma of jasmine rice is triggered this post.
We've used all of the blends over the years and fix some at least once a week with something. They are a combination of different grains, no seasonings of any kind. I always add veggies when cooking, and all of the blends are great with any kind of meat.
I might just make it with some shrimp and sausage tonight!

The Evolution of Python 3 215
from the all-growd-up dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Unless you're trying to learn how to code Django apps, which won't work on Python 3.0. Neither will a lot of other 3rd party modules.
Not really. Keep learning 2.x as you were. Quoth Guido:
http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=211200 [artima.com]
Ignore 3.0 for now. If you encounter it, there is a handy script to help update your code, though most of the language is unchanged. The biggest gotcha is that print is now a function print() rather than a statement.
The name Python originally came from Monty Python, so you're about 18 years late on that joke.
For those interested, IBM is running a primer series [ibm.com] on the new language/runtime features.
There's also this [python.org] older (but still relevant) PEP that explains things that did not change between the 2.x series and 3.0.
Personally, I'm not looking forward to migrating existing code bases (especially non-trivial ones) to 3.0, but I'm planning to do all new development against it (of course assuming that the various packages I use have ports).
For Python trivia lovers, here [slashdot.org] the the actual moment in time when 3.0 was let loose on the world. I'm such a sentimental geek
I've read your previous posts. You weren't making any sense back then, and you aren't making any now either. However, for some reason your trolling seems to go well with the mods every time.
It's a fact that the Unicode support in Python is not perfect (see e.g. this post [cmlenz.net]). However, every and any issue you might have with Python 3 internal representation of Unicode strings, you are bound to have with Python 2 as well. The only thing that has changed is that the unicode and str types got replaced with str and bytes types respectively, and that you can't mix the two anymore without explicitely encoding/decoding them. And both of these are good things (TM).
Also, for someone who has supposedly spent so much time investigating Python Unicode support to great depths, it's rather funny that you don't know that Python does not use UTF-16 for internal representation of Unicode strings. It uses either UCS-2 (the default) or UCS-4, which are both fixed-length encodings. Unfortunately, the default one cannot represent characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane, but hey - neither can say Java.
And finally, your argument that "real Python programs need to handle arbitrary data that is *PROBABLY* UTF-8." is utter rubbish. If you need to handle non-ASCII textual data you either:
To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The leader of small businesses in Mexico City's historic downtown district says owners have complained of a 60 percent drop in sales during the first week of filming of the new James Bond movie, "Spectre."
Officials have announced some street closures in the nearly 500-year-old colonial district between March 19 and April 1.
The head of the city's small business chamber says his group appreciates the publicity from the film. But Gerardo Lopez Becerra said Thursday that in some cases, store and restaurant employees haven't been allowed to go to work and the street closings have scared away customers.
Lopez Becerra said the city should help business affected by frequent closures in the downtown area due to street protests, festivals and film projects.

|"Really, you can't expect us to not give her ANY meat until shes 8 years old"
My daughter is only two and she can describe the process pretty well. I'm very firmly in the camp that if you are a meat eater it's not ok to think that meat comes from the grocery store wrapped in plastic.
Is feeding a baby/toddler who is simply not capable of making a sound cognitive choice regarding what to eat meat something that you really are willing to jeopardize your child's relationship with her grandmother over?
But all in all, she and I are going to have a war if I find out that she fed my (exclusively breastfed) baby chicken out of a jar.
No. I stated previously that it would not be ok to just not ever leave the child with her. DH would have huge issues with that, and it would be unfair. However, since my parents are both remarried, she would live 8 years with out 1 of her 3 grandmothers.
The idea of feeding my child meat really grosses me out, and I have every right to tell her not to do it. She DOES NOT COOK. Ever. DH and I have been together for over 8 years and I have seen her cook maybe 3 times. She eats fast food. We arent talking about good, farm raised meat here. We are talking about McDonalds and pureed chicken in a jar. I wouldnt expect anyone to eat purreed meat.
The point really is that I dont know how to respond to this chidding and joking at me about the topic. Im not sure if she will really do it, or where we will be in our desicion at that time. One thing I am sure of is that she will cultivate a "lets keep things from Mommy" dynamic. She has proven this by telling my DH (when he tells her that i dont like something) ell, what Holly doesnt know wont hurt her,now will it?"
But all in all, she and I are going to have a war if I find out that she fed my (exclusively breastfed) baby chicken out of a jar.
OP -- OFF TOPIC -- how do you guys plan to do this? do you guys cook meat at home?
is dh going to stop eating meat in front of your dd?
if dh is going to continue eating meat in front of her and she wants to have some what will you say?
I would talk to my DH, tell him my concerns, and that the comments are making me very uncomfortable, etc., and have him bring it up with MIL. If he supports your decision, he should make it clear to MIL that it is not just your decision, but his as well, and that he, as well as you, will be extremely upset if the joking does not stop (or if meat is fed). A marriage is about a partnership, and he needs to portray that. He needs to take your side over his mother's.
If he can't do that...well...I'd suggest counseling. Seriously. What you describe sounds like a very unhealthy, passive-aggressive relationship between mother and son, and it's going to come between you for the rest of your marriage if you don't put an end to it. You should also keep in mind that the kind of relationship he has with his mother is likely to be the kind of relationship your DD will eventually have with Grandma. He needs to be modeling a healthy way of dealing with her.
Chicken out of a jar isn't a "meat" issue, it's a food quality issue. I am a big fan of meat and encourage my DD to eat it (not that it's hard, she would live happily on fish, meat, eggs and fruit.) But chicken in a jar is just yucky. You could tell grandma she'd have to eat a jar first.
I would very calmly look her in the eye the next time she said something like that. Pause long enough for your gaze to have an affect and then state: "I know you find that funny but quite frankly it has grown old. When and if we decide she's ready to eat any meat, you'll be the first to know. Until then, I would appreciate no more jokes".
Maybe to get your DH more on board, you need to find an issue that he cares more about that your MIL will try to disregard you on. Because to me, this isn't a vegetarian issue, this is a "I don't respect you as a parent" issue. How does she feel about carseats? Discipline? Allergies? This is not going to stop without some measures being taken, she is going to keep disrespecting you in areas when she doesn't agree. And while normally I am all for some give and take and letting grandparents do some special things with their grandchildren, this to me seems like a small piece of a much larger problem of lack of respect.

Size does not matter. or does it?
My Dendrobium speciosum var grandiflorum produced the longest lead so far. From origin to leaf tip it measures 39". Looking around the orchid area I found 2 Cymbidium leaves checking in at 50". No long flowers at this time.
Who has the longest?
Let us know your measurement, I suggest 4 categories:
1) Growth plus leaf
2) Leaf only
3) Growth, leaf and inflorescence
4) Inflorescence only
In know in category 4 there are some vandaceous types with bisexual flowers on 7' to 10' inflorescence. If anyone has a fully developed Grammatophyllum speciosum he will be 'King of the Hill' In category 1. I have seen Cymbidiums with leaves that make mine look like a pygmy.
Ladies, don't be shy, get out the measuring tape and let us know what you have, even if it's only in your dreams.
I have a Dendrobium helix. Its tall.
It goes into the rafters, the bench is about 38", I think the rafters start at about 8'. Its probably like 6 ft tall.
Then there is this.
Maybe 12 feet tall?

The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt
Ian Shaw
OUP Oxford, Mar 14, 2002 - Social Science - 528 pages
The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt is the only book available providing detailed historical coverage of Egypt from the early Stone Age to its incorporation into the Roman Empire. The lively essays and beautiful illustrations portray the emergence and development of the distinctive civilization of the ancient Egyptians covering the period from 700,000 BC to ad 311. The authors - each working at the cutting edge of their particular fields - outline the principal sequence of political events, including detailed examinations of the three so-called Intermediate Periods previously regarded as 'dark ages'. Against the backdrop of the rise and fall of ruling dynasties, this Oxford History also examines cultural and social patterns, including stylistic developments in art and literature. The pace of change in such aspects of Egyptian culture as monumental architecture, funerary beliefs, and ethnicity was not necessarily tied to the rate of political change. Each of the authors has therefore set out to elucidate, in both words and pictures, the underlying patterns of social and political change, and to describe the changing face of ancient Egypt, from the biographical details of individuals to the social and economic factors that shaped the lives of the population as a whole.

Runaway teen returns to Sequim, admits fabricating story

19-year-old treated, released after wreck near intersection of highways 101 and 112 west of Port Angeles
Port Angeles man sentenced to prison after collecting nearly $200,000 in dead grandmother's benefits
The 15-year-old who ran away Thursday and told his parents he did so with the help of the online "The Runaway Guide" returned to his Sequim home at about 9:30 p.m. Monday.
He had been in Olympia and had never been in danger, said Sgt. Dave Campbell of the Sequim Police Department.
Jonathon Chrysler Sr. said his son told them that strangers whom he had met through the online site had taken him to Boise, Idaho, and then to Montana and were armed gang members.
"Allegations that he made were self-admittedly false," Campbell said. "He was not held at gunpoint. He was not absconded with."
The boy had arranged for a distant relative to pick him up and take him to Olympia.
He stayed in Olympia the entire time he was missing, Campbell said.
"At no time was the boy ever held against his will by armed strangers nor was he ever an endangered missing person," Campbell said in a written statement.
Chrysler Sr. said the boy was sent to the Crisis Residential Center at the Clallam County juvenile detention facility in Port Angeles on Tuesday.
He said his son was scheduled for a judicial evaluation Wednesday.
"It's been a rough time since we got him back," Chrysler Sr. said.
"But we're just happy he's home."
Jonathon called his parents from a phone with a Montana area code Friday after running away in the early morning hours Thursday.
The boy told his parents he had left with a pair of adults he met through "The Runaway Guide" blog and Facebook page.
Chrysler Sr. said his son told them Saturday that he was between Spokane and Seattle on his way back to the Peninsula.
Area law enforcement put out a call for a black four-door Nissan with Jonathon and four other men Saturday afternoon.
The Chrysler parents posted a Facebook page, seeking to have "The Runaway Guide" taken down.
The guide's author, who identified himself only as "Leif," wrote on his blog that he had no contact with Jonathon and that there is "absolutely no way [it] would be possible" for the teen to meet adults through his blog.
"Regarding the recent runaway named Jon, I am very sorry about this situation," Leif wrote Tuesday.
"However, I will not take responsibility for it in any way."
Campbell said in the statement that the boy returned home "after his parents promised he would be rewarded with the return of privileges recently removed for violation of household rules.
"It appears the boy had made the phone calls to his father making these allegations as a means of seeking attention and sympathy," the statement said.
Campbell said the investigation is continuing as a custodial interference case pertianing to the relative.

Ga. police hunt lost evidence in '96 killing
Copyright 2006 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The whereabouts of a missing weapon and other key evidence in a 1996 Fulton County homicide remained a mystery Wednesday.
A veteran Atlanta police detective said he doesn't know what happened to the gun, bullet and shell casing, fingerprints and other evidence from the December 1996 slaying in Buckhead of millionaire David Coffin Jr.
"Once it goes to the state crime lab, it is not my responsibility to keep it," Sgt. Rick Chambers testified Wednesday as defense attorneys fought to have the case dismissed. Chambers testified that he last saw the gun on Dec. 11, 1996, a day after Coffin's body was found, when he handed it to his partner on the case, detective Marchel Walker.
