On December 27, when police arrived to schedule interviews with the Ramseys, Bynum was again present. John Ramsey said little; the family doctor told police Patsy was too overwhelmed to see them. On December 28, prosecutor Pete Hofstrom informed the cops that there would be no Ramsey interviews because the Ramseys were leaving for Atlanta. The Ramseys had gone to the criminal justice center that day and given such non-testimonial evidence as fingerprints and blood and hair samples; Hofstrom suggested the police fax their questions to the family. On New Year's Day, the Ramseys appeared on CNN to proclaim their innocence.
Steve Thomas's theory about what happened in the Ramsey home is just that: a theory. But the facts he marshals do make a convincing, if circumstantial, case for Patsy's guilt. He believes JonBenét's death may have been accidental, the result of a bed-wetting incident during which her head was slammed against something hard. Police saw a box of pull-up diapers hanging halfway off a cabinet shelf outside the child's bedroom and a balled-up red turtleneck on the bathroom counter. Patsy had said JonBenét was put to bed in a red turtleneck; the body was found in a white shirt with a sequin star on the front. Under this scenario, the garrote, the bound hands and the placement of the body in the basement were essentially staging, intended to cover up the nature of JonBenét's death; the duct tape appeared to have been placed over her mouth after she died. Although it has been the subject of hot dispute, no one has determined whether JonBenét's death was caused by strangulation from the garrote or the massive blow to her head; either injury would have been fatal by itself.
The garrote was made with the broken handle of Patsy's paintbrush. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation tested red acrylic fibers found on the duct tape covering JonBenét's mouth and said they were a "likely match" for Patsy Ramsey's blazer. Beaver hairs were also found on the tape, but police were unable to obtain permission from the DA's office to get Patsy's fur coat and boots for testing.
There were no fingerprints on the ransom note, but the tablet on which it was written was Patsy's, and it bore her fingerprints. On the same tablet, there was also what appeared to be a practice note. Both parts were written with a Sharpie pen that was then replaced in its holder in the Ramsey kitchen. Many experts examined the note's handwriting and were unable to rule out Patsy as the author. At least one named her unequivocally.
The Ramseys have said that police were too quick to focus on them, ignoring the possibility that an intruder came into the house and killed their daughter. In the months and years following JonBenét's death, they have mentioned several possible suspects, including their housekeeper, Linda Hoffman-Pugh; a former nanny; a onetime Accent Graphics worker whom John Ramsey had fired; Fleet and Priscilla White (named after Fleet confronted John Ramsey in Atlanta and told him he should be cooperating with the investigation); a neighboring couple -- he palsied and she suffering from Alzheimer's disease; a local reporter whose girlfriend said he'd behaved strangely when he heard about the murder; Jay Elowsky, a Boulder restaurateur who allowed the Ramseys to stay in his house to avoid the press and, in his zeal to defend their privacy, once came out swinging a baseball bat; and -- most famously -- Bill McReynolds, a retired journalism professor who had attended Ramsey holiday functions dressed as Santa Claus. At the time of the murder, McReynolds was still recovering from the heart surgery he'd had four months earlier.
The DA's office pressed McReynolds relentlessly, even after police concluded he had not committed the crime. Two years after the murder, prosecutor Trip DeMuth had McReynolds tailed and sent police to retrieve some cord McReynolds had been seen using, Thomas says. Santa Bill was also grilled by Deputy District Attorney Mary Keenan. The experience "was the worst thing I've ever been through," says McReynolds, who has since left Colorado with his wife, Janet. "I thought about suicide."
Every suspect named by the Ramseys spoke willingly with police.
Boulder police had been skeptical about Alex Hunter's office long before the murder of JonBenét Ramsey. "Some of us felt you almost had to have a videotape of a murder, a full confession and an affidavit from the victim to get a homicide case to go forward in Boulder," Thomas wrote in his book. The skepticism proved justified in the Ramsey case. Boulder prosecutors refused to authorize routine warrants for such things as credit card receipts and phone and banking records. They allowed the Ramseys' lawyers to dictate the conditions under which evidence would be tested. They hemorrhaged confidential information to the Ramsey team and to journalists. According to both Thomas and Lawrence Schiller, Hunter himself developed a friendly relationship with tabloid reporter Jeff Shapiro, then working for the Globe. He gave the reporter inside information. And in an astonishing departure from normal ethical practice, he offered Shapiro access to the personnel file of John Eller, the commander overseeing the Ramsey case; Eller's zeal apparently troubled Hunter.

Some lucky person could win more than $320 million this week in the Powerball lottery.
If you plan on playing, you might want to get your ticket sooner rather than later. There could be some long lines ahead of Wednesday's drawing.
Bob Stuhmer is trying to get ahead of the game. You can tell he's a regular customer by his shirt that says "Please Lord...let me prove to you that winning the lottery won't spoil me." He's buying three tickets on Tuesday.
"You keep your fingers crossed, buy your tickets and give it a try," Stuhmer said. "Keep trying, one of these days."
He's buying his Powerball tickets the day before the big drawing so he can avoid long lines of people all trying to get a piece of a multi-million dollar jackpot.
Dean Gowens runs the Styles Bi-Rite off Hull Street Road in Chesterfield. He's expecting and bracing for a busy day Wednesday.
"People wait until the last minute and you just can't control the crowd," Gowens said. "There are so many tickets and the machines run only so fast and sometimes some people don't get to play."
Virginia Lottery officials say they're expecting to sell more than 2100 Powerball tickets a minute Wednesday.
"Everybody has that hope for the one time," Stuhmer said. "This one is so big, even if you hit the second or third prize, it'll still help out big time."
The winner can opt for thirty yearly payments or a lump sum of more than $200 million before taxes.
After playing for 17 years, Stuhmer says he's due. He's matched five out of the six numbers three times, but he's never had a winning ticket.
"There is always a chance," he said.
There have been eight tickets sold in Virginia in the last two years that have won a million dollars.
The Powerball drawing will be at 11 p.m. Wednesday.

I should have been born with my fingers permanently glued to a keyboard. From the age of five, I've known that I want to be a professional writer: a journalist, a novelist, a modern-day Shakespeare, maybe. Okay, not Shakespeare. Will used to give me terrible headaches back in my freshman year as I tried to figure out what he was talking about in A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. Macbeth in my sophomore year was much easier to understand.
Regardless, I'm practically addicted to books, whether I'm reading or writing them. I can't go a single day without writing something – a short story, a novel chapter, an article – and if I do, I feel a tingling in my fingers, an itch that won't go away until I sit in front of a computer or pick up a well-sharpened pencil and just let my thoughts out.
I can be inspired by anything: an expression, a song, a movie. Once I get inspired, it's like a series of bells going off in my mind, the gears turning faster and faster as I spin out one possible story after another. Ghosts? Vampires? Shape-shifters? What about bogeymen, fairies, and…Desis? Well, why not let my Desi – my South Asian – heritage inspire me too?
My extended, very Desi family is so widespread that whenever I meet with a cousin or an aunt I only vaguely remember, I tell him or her I'm a writer because I know it will distinguish me from all the other "kids" in the family and make me memorable. I tell my relatives about the stories I used to write as a child, the projects I'm working on now, and why I'm working so hard to make a breakthrough in the competitive world of publishing. One aunt hugged me and told me, "Just don't forget about the rest of us when you become the next J.K. Rowling."
Smiling, I replied, "Don't worry, I won't." Call it a hunch, intuition, or confidence, but I know that I will become the next J.K. Rowling. I have the ambition, I have the means, and I have the talent. My English and History teachers don't praise my writing and tell me I have an innate writing talent because they want to be nice – they know how passionate I am about writing, and how that passion slips through my fingertips to the paper.
I don't really know why I love writing so much, I just do. There's something about putting a story down on paper for friends halfway across the globe to read and understand, about finding just the right word to describe what I can see so clearly in my head, that lures me in like a siren's song. Writing makes me who I am.
Maybe I just want to leave my mark on the world, and since I can't sing if my life depended on it or have the patience to create a majestic work of art – although I am a pretty decent actor, and a guitar recital in my sophomore year permanently rid me of my state fright…but acting doesn't seem like the right path for me – I've chosen writing to make a name for myself. Sara B., novelist, journalist, graduate of Columbia University. It has a nice ring to it.

These days filmmakers are willing to experiment when it comes to promote their films. That even mean taking help from youngsters...
Producer Kiran Rao along with Anand Gandhi the director of 'Ship of Theseus' has hired a group of enthusiastic management graduates from various management colleges for two months to help promote the film.
As a matter of fact, this would be first time management students would be hired for specific two month exercise to work on a film and not film company. While most corporate hire them to work on research, Kiran Rao saw this as an opportunity to get fresh minds with new creative ideas and get them to direct marketing for the film.
Essentially their job would be to do field work and increase the ground awareness for the film 'Ship of Theseus'.
Indie films like 'Ship of Theseus' relay a lot on word of mouth and innovative marketing as they are always starved for budgets. While 'Ship of Theseus' has already buzzing and has a strong word of mouth, all endeavours are to increase the awareness and broad base the film.
Management interns that are hired will be expected to go to various institutions and do ground tie ups for the film. For example they have initiated conversations with all medical associations across India to introduce them to the film.

In late June, the U of M hosted Minnesota Senator Jeremy Miller for an educational visit to learn more about the exciting neuromodulation research and technology taking place as part of the MnDRIVE brain conditions initiative.
During his visit Sen. Miller had the opportunity to tour the campus, meet and welcome new Minnesota men's basketball coach Richard Pitino and hear from students and faculty about their research.
"I believe it's extremely important for legislators, especially those on the higher education committee, to see and understand what our higher education institutions are doing," Miller said.

So I guess I'm kind of back together with the ex. We're just sort of hanging out and seeing where it goes for now. Here's my dilemma, I'm not sure if we have enough heat together. I tend to have two different types of relationships, I either have a lot of heat with no real common ground, or little heat with a lot in common. The ex falls into the latter category. We are very similar and have a lot of fun together, but there's not a lot of 'I want to rip your clothes off and have my way with you' passion. When we dated the first time around we had a bit of technical difficulty in the bedroom so we didn't sleep together all that often, well we slept together, but the nonsexy I actually got sleep kind of sleep. Am I naive in thinking that the first part of a relationship should be sexier than that? Can you develop that sort of passion through time? I'm still not completely comfortable with him, so I can feel myself holding back a little (I really don't want to get hurt again), so maybe that's the reason. Am I just reading too much into this? Unfortunately I'm not very go with the flow, lol, which means I over-analyze everything. Gah, stupid boys.
Is it always one or the other? June 2, 2010
Dissed but not dismissed June 1, 2010
Ok so I have written at least one post about the ex. Well we have been talking on and off the past few weeks and we met up for dinner tonight. We had a lot to talk about, but we were out at a restaurant which isn't really an atmosphere to lay everything out on the table. We never really made it past small talk. He ended up driving me home (yay because the bus sucks, lol) and we had a very brief chat in the car in front of my house. I was right in thinking that he wanted to get back together. Basically he regrets breaking it off and has missed me ever since. I'm still not sure how I feel. I told him that I don't want to get hurt again like last time so he needs to come up with a really good reason for wanting to get back together and ensuring the same thing that happened last time doesn't happen again (essentially we had one fight and he couldn't move past it. We are going to fight, sometimes I like to fight, so that's a big issue). We made plans to hang out again tomorrow night and actually talk. Here's where the dissed part come in. I am a big believer in kissing, if I kiss you and feel kind of meh, we're not meant to be. I want to feel some sort of passion (maybe I'm naive in that thought process but so be it). So when I was leaving I went to kiss him to see if we still had any sort of spark, and got totally shut down. If we are going to start relationship part 2 he wants to take it slow, which I understand, but I wasn't expecting to be shut down. As I said, in the world of Little Miss Jay, no passion – no future, so this isn't off to the best start. He better have really good reasons for wanting to get back together.
All shall be revealed tomorrow night.
Side note: I'm not a huge Justin Beiber fan, but his stupid songs are so damn catchy. His new video features Jaden Smith who is absolutely adorable.
New Shoes :) May 31, 2010
My dad came to visit this weekend and brought me my birthday gifts which consisted of a pair of the new Nike Vomero 5s and a Nike plus. I love love love the shoes. They are super comfortable and when I put them on I was excited to run (I know, I'm totally lame). The Nike plus is cool too. It tracks your pace, calories, distance, and time. It came with default settings for the pace, but apparently I have a really short stride length because it told me that I had run way further than I actually had, so I needed to calibrate it. I like it because you can calibrate a walking stride and a running stride. My old Vomero 4s have been demoted to my walking shoes, but they are also Nike plus compatible so I just need to switch the sensor from one pair of shoes to the other depending on what I'm doing.
I used my new shoes at the gym today rather than running outside (the weather has been not so great) and I think I may have looked like a crazy person on the treadmill. The Nike plus hooks up to my iPod and will mute the song you are listening to in order to tell you how far you've gone. The first time it happened I started to laugh, so I was running along laughing to myself with no one around. Oh well, who am I trying to impress at the gym.

Ice Cream Anyone?
I have been toying with the idea of buying an ice cream maker but can't quite bring myself to do it. I feel like I would either not use it enough, or use it too much lol. I came across this on yumsugar.com today (http://www.yumsugar.com/Strawberry-Ice-Cream-Recipe-8500177) and it looks sooo good. I'm heading to the mall this afternoon so I may keep an eye out for ice cream makers. It's my birthday in a few weeks so maybe I can justify it as a birthday present to me from me. Does anyone out there have an ice cream maker? If so, do you use it or is it collecting dust in a cupboard somewhere?
Cleaning Frenzy
Due to yesterday's "sickness" I woke up this morning and my house was an absolute disaster. I have spent a good chunk of this morning cleaning and trying to get organized. I hate when my house is messy. It makes me feel overwhelmed and feel like a little bit of a failure at life lol. You could say that I'm a little bit of a clean freak :)
Bridal Insanity
I'm watching Rich Bride Poor Bride on Slice.com and I'm absolutely dumbfounded. I know that they have people on the show who are obviously over the top, but this bride is crazy. The whole premise of the show is planning a wedding and seeing whether or not the couple remains within their budget, which I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone do. On today's episode, the couple overspent by $27 000. That's absolute insanity to me. Most of the overspending was done by the bride. She spent $2600 on her dress and when they went to buy wedding bands, because they were on sale, she bought two new rings rather than one. I think the most baffling thing that she did though was drive around to different people's houses to ask if she could take wedding pictures in front of their house. She would find a house that she liked, knock on the door and ask whether or not her and the bridal party could take pictures in front of the house. Most people said no, and she ended up paying a woman $500 in order to take pictures outside the house and inside in the foyer (actually inside the house!!!). That's really weird right? I would never even think of doing that. I hope that when the time comes I don't turn into a Bridezilla.

The spring publishing season is full of gay reads, especially if you like memoirs.
Mikey Walsh gifts us with a sequel to last yearŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Gypsy BoyŌĆØ (one of my favorite books of 2012) with his new book ŌĆ£Gypsy Boy on the Run.ŌĆØ This book picks up where the first book left off ŌĆö Walsh has just escaped his fatherŌĆÖs abuse and the Romany culture in which he grew up ŌĆö and off we go. Which is great, since the first book practically begged for an update. His being gay is a major reason he was shunned by his culture of origin.
What would you do if you hailed from a place where you being gay was the farthest thing from your neighborsŌĆÖ minds? In ŌĆ£Prairie Silence,ŌĆØ author Melanie Hoffert tackles that, coming from her home state of North Dakota. This is a beautiful book, almost bucolic, and filled with a quiet sense of calm and crops.
ŌĆ£Letters from the Closet: Ten Years of Correspondence That Changed My LifeŌĆØ by Amy Hollingsworth is a bit of a unusual memoir: itŌĆÖs about a teacher who was not ŌĆ£out,ŌĆØ his favorite student and letters that he wrote to her that she kept until his death, years later. ItŌĆÖs a powerful story of secrets that arenŌĆÖt so secret, from a Christian writer.
Speaking of church, ŌĆ£Banished: Surviving My Years in the Westboro Baptist ChurchŌĆØ by Lauren Drain is the true story of the organization and a little girl whose father got so caught up in his examination of the church that he moved his family to Kansas and into the fold. ItŌĆÖs also the story of a girl who examines her conscience and realizes that her former beliefs were wrong. Controversial? You betcha, but oh-so-interesting, too.
ŌĆ£Plane QueerŌĆØ by Phil Tiemeyer is a book about male flight attendants from the 1920s to about a decade ago, their work in a female-dominated career, the discrimination they faced and how AIDS has tied into their area of the industry. ThereŌĆÖs a lot to learn here (because ŌĆö did you know this? ŌĆö they were in the forefront of an important civil rights law), so this book isnŌĆÖt just a scandal-filled, juicy read.
Local gay author Garrett Peck continues his historical explorations with ŌĆ£The Smithsonian Castle and the Seneca Quarry.ŌĆØ This is somewhat of a sequel to PeckŌĆÖs last book and explains how some of D.C.ŌĆÖs best-loved sites are tied together in an unlikely way.
California-based gay author and pop culture historian Mike Pingel is out with another tidbit-crammed page turner. ŌĆ£Betty White Rules the WorldŌĆØ traces the legendŌĆÖs career from ŌĆ£Life With Elizabeth,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Mary Tyler Moore,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£The Golden Girls,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Hot in ClevelandŌĆØ and more. As with previous books on everything from ŌĆ£Wonder WomanŌĆØ to ŌĆ£CharlieŌĆÖs Angels,ŌĆØ Pingel keeps the pace moving ŌĆö pullout boxes and mini-chapters are well-chocked with interesting factoids that keep the pace moving.
So youŌĆÖre clamoring for a novel. Just a good story, thatŌĆÖs all you want.
And then you want ŌĆ£The Beauty of Men Never DiesŌĆØ by David Leddick.
Blending fiction with memoir, this book is about aging and falling in love later in life. ItŌĆÖs a whirlwind trip from America to Europe, from one fabulous job to another, and from love lost to love gained. How much is true and how much is not?┬Ā IŌĆÖm not saying. Read the book.
Gay author Brent Hartinger will release ŌĆ£The Elephant of SurpriseŌĆØ from Buddha Kitty Books on March 31. ItŌĆÖs the fourth book in the ŌĆ£Geography ClubŌĆØ series, the first entry of which has been adapted into a film starring Scott Bakula and Nikki Blonsky. In ŌĆ£Elephant,ŌĆØ Russel and his friends Min and Gunnar laugh about a phenomenon referenced in the title ŌĆö the tendency of life to never turn out as expected. Russel becomes involved with Wade, a hot-but-homeless activist, just as his old flame Kevin returns to his front burner. And Min is learning surprising things about her girlfriend Leah. Hartinger, a former Blade contributor, has earned kudos for his well-crafted depictions of gay teen life.
Finally, if you just want something fun, hedonistic and so hot youŌĆÖll need oven mitts, then look for ŌĆ£DecadenceŌĆØ by Eric Jerome Dickey this spring. Nia Simone Bijou (she of 2008ŌĆÖs ŌĆ£PleasureŌĆØ) is back and looking to hone her ŌĆ£giftsŌĆØ of love by stepping into a pleasure palace for awhile.

Police have found the vehicle involved in a crash that hit two girls playing in leaves in Forest Grove, killing one of them.
A 6-year-old girl was killed and her 11-year-old half-sister suffered life-threatening injuries on the 1700 block of Main Street at 8:25 p.m. Sunday.
The girls were identified Monday night as Anna Dieter-Eckerdt, 6, and Abigail Robinson, 11. Anna was pronounced dead at the scene, while Abigail was critically injured. She was still in the hospital Monday night, according to Forest Grove police.
Investigators initially reported Abigail was 10 years old.
Police said the vehicle that hit them has been found and will be forensically searched and processed. No arrests were made Monday night and no other information was released, as police cited the "very active and dynamic investigation."
Forest Grove police said the two girls were playing in a pile of leaves that spilled out onto the street. It wasn't clear whether the girls were standing up or sitting or whether they were covered by the leaves at the time they were hit.
The two girls attended separate schools in the Forest Grove School District. A district spokeswoman said grief counselors would be made available at both schools.
A memorial grew at the scene of the crash Monday with flowers and stuffed animals. Hundreds of people then met for a candlelight vigil at Sonrise Church in Forest Grove Monday night.
An account was also set up for the family. Police said donations can be made to the "Dieter-Robinson Fund" at any Columbia Community Bank or the Forest Grove Sonrise Church. Questions about donations can be directed to the church at 503-640-2449.

CLAY: Contact Lens Risk Assessment in Youth
Observation of Risks Associate with Contact Lenses
(Currently Enrolling)
Why we are doing this study:
We are trying to better understand why some people get "red eyes" or eye infections.
Who can be in the study:
- Patients 12 to 33 years of age.
We are looking for healthy soft contact lens wearers and those who have a doctor diagnosis of a corneal inflammatory event (white blood cells in the cornea).
What the study involves:
There is only one visit that should take less than one hour. During the visit we will:
- Ask you questions about your general and eye health, and how you wear and care for your contact lenses
- Ask you to sign a release of your optometry records so that we can find out more about your eye and vision health
- Conduct an examination of the front surface of your eye
- Some patients will have cultures of their eyes, contact lens and lens case done
Will you directly benefit from the study?
Being in this study won't directly benefit you but it will help us learn more about contact lens complications so we can better educate and care for future patients.
Other things you should know about the study:
- Parental permission is required for minors (under age 18) to participate in this study, so a parent will need to be present during the visit.
- You will receive $50 for your time to be in the study.
Principal Investigator: Kathryn Richdale, OD PhD

Economic interests will prevail if Scotland chooses Independence
In some ways, the real news story today would have been if the Chancellor had come to Scotland to say something other than that, in his view, keeping the pound would be terribly difficult for Scotland.
He is, after all, a member of the UK Government - which is against independence – and it's in his interest to imply that an independent Scotland wouldn't be able to use the pound.
By contrast, the experts on the Fiscal Commission Working Group have no axe to grind. They simply took a detailed and exhaustive look at the various currency options that would be open to an independent Scotland and concluded that staying part of a sterling zone would be the best option for Scotland and for the rest of the UK. They also concluded that, notwithstanding the fiscal discipline that this option (and indeed any other currency option) would require, independence within a sterling zone would give Scotland substantial economic levers to grow our economy that we simply do not have at present.
The fact of the matter is that, if Scotland does vote for independence, the frenzied self-interest that we are hearing from the Chancellor today will quickly give way to more rational and hard headed economic interests. They might prefer Scotland not to choose independence (which is their right) but, if we do, here are just three economic reasons why the rest of the UK would also prefer a continuing sterling zone to any of the other options that would be available.
1. Trade. There is about £45bn of trade that flows – in each direction – between Scotland and England every year. Businesses – in England and Scotland – will want to continue to trade in sterling.
2. Balance of payments. Scotland would make an important contribution to a Sterling zone's balance of payments. Our onshore economy exports £23.9 billion in goods and services to the rest of the world; whilst oil and gas production, the vast majority of which occurs in Scottish waters, boosts the UK balance of payments by a further £40 billion. Given the state of the UK economy, they won't want to give that up.
3. Debt. If the UK government sticks to the line that an independent Scotland has no right to a share of UK assets (after all, it is our pound and our central bank as much as it the rest of the UK's), then the inescapable quid pro quo is that we won't be liable for any of its debts either. Somehow, I don't think that's an outcome they would be happy with.
Our position, supported by world-leading economists, is that within a monetary union Scotland would be able to use fiscal and other important economic levers to grow the economy and create jobs. The UK government says it disagrees. This means they have, in effect, ruled out any further transfer of tax powers within the current system as we are, of course, within a monetary union now, which the Chancellor says is incompatible with fiscal flexibility.

Yesterday it was confirmed that UFC on FOX 7 would be headlined by the UFC lightweight title fight between champion Ben Henderson and Strikeforce LW champion Gilbert Melendez. It marks the 3rd consecutive FOX card to have a championship bout as the main event, and the likely co-main event between Frank Mir and Daniel Cormier has also been confirmed by Yahoo's Kevin Iole.
Yahoo! Sports Kevin Iole has confirmed that Melendez vs. Henderson and Mir vs. Cormier will happen on April 20 at HP Pavilion in San Jose for UFC on Fox 7.
Former UFC champion Mir was due to fight Cormier in Strikeforce in November, but a Mir injury not only canceled the fight but was one of the leading reasons for the card's cancellation. Mir last fought in May, losing by TKO to then-champion Junior dos Santos at UFC 146.
Cormier still had one fight left with Strikeforce to fulfill, and he satisfied those requirements by comfortably beating Dion Staring this past Saturday. Daniel will be fighting in the same city where he trains, as the card is in San Jose, where American Kickboxing Academy is located.

The deadline has come and gone for Buena Vista district schools to show they can still be financially viable.
Both B.V. schools and Inkster schools had until 5 p.m. Monday to secure new loans to finance operations -- or face being dissolved by state officials.
The Buena Vista School District superintendent Deborah Hunter-Harvill told TV5's Liz Gelardi that she exhausted all of her options to secure a loan, but to no avail. This means the district is almost certain to dissolve.
"We have called a couple of banks, some entrepreneurs, some [philanthropists], because we don't want to say it's over until 5 p.m.," said Hunter-Harvill.
The next steps are to figure out where to send the school district's students and how to begin paying off the district's $3.7 million deficit.
B.V. district officials still need to formally dissolve the school district, which they plan to do during a meeting next week. They will also redraw district boundaries so school children will know where they'll be going to school in the fall.
Meanwhile, the Saginaw Intermediate School District have scheduled a community forum for Wednesday, July 24 from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. at B.V. High School for parents and students to talk about future educational programs for students previously served by the B.V. school district.
It's not just Buena Vista schools on the verge of being dissolved. Inkster schools near Detroit also missed Monday's deadline to file a financial plan.
The treasury says it will move forward with plans to close both districts.

I'm sure a lot of Rumblers watched Tony Romo's horrible performance last night. 3 picks. Win or go home game.
I know there have been contract extension discussions between the Cowboys and Romo this year.
I also noticed he scheduled to make $17m next year. That's not guaranteed. It seems the Cowboys have a big decision to make on him. You know he likes his $17m he's got on his current contract.
Does anyone think the Cowboys will cut him?
How about Romo in red, white, and blue?

Student due in court on weapon charge
NILES - A student at Niles McKinley High School will appear before a judge Wednesday after he was found in possession of a folding knife while at school.

Bromfield's 'Big House' to reopen at Malabar
LUCAS - Ohio natural resources officials are set to re-open the historic home of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Bromfield after several months of renovations and restoration.
The Big House reopens at 10 a.m. today as part of Malabar Farm State Park's annual Heritage Days fall festival, which runs today and Sunday.
Bromfield's 32-room residence and farm were a popular getaway for Hollywood's elite in the 1940s and 1950s. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were married there in 1945.
The festival will feature 75 traditional crafters, vintage farm equipment and a Civil War encampment.
Poles and bait will be provided for a stocked fishing pond that's open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today. A free square dance is scheduled from 7 to 10 p.m. today.
Ohio college leaders begin collaboration
COLUMBUS - Gov. John Kasich has named the higher education leaders who will lead collaboration on which construction projects Ohio's public colleges and universities will include in next year's capital budget.
Kasich kicked off the latest round of collaborative budget discussions at a meeting with about 20 college and university presidents Friday. The Republican governor has taken the unusual step of asking higher education institutions to cooperate rather than compete for state cash.
He named Ohio University president Roderick McDavis as chair and Southern State Community College president Kevin Boys as vice chair of the several-month effort.
Ex-deputy gets prison for baby-sitting rape
MARION - A former Ohio sheriff's deputy convicted of raping a 5-year-old girl he was baby-sitting has been sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says 28-year-old Randy Spencer was sentenced Friday in Marion County Common Pleas Court in central Ohio.
A jury last week found Spencer guilty of four counts of rape. A statement from DeWine says the crimes happened between June 2012 and April 2013 while Spencer was baby-sitting the child in Marion County.
Staff, wire reports
Spencer was employed at the time as a corrections officer in Delaware County and an auxiliary officer in Marion County. He also previously worked as a Marion County sheriff's deputy.
Defense attorney Rocky Ratliff has said Spencer will appeal his conviction. Ratliff did not immediately return a call Friday.

Mark Richt's annual base salary is not being increased, but the head football coach will receive more in performance bonuses. . . . McGarity pointed out that Richt's salary of $2.9 million put him in the upper ecehlon of SEC coaches, but not among the highest-paid. But the performance bonuses for winning the SEC, BCS and other things are being increased. "We want to reward excellence," McGarity said. . . . The board was set to vote on an upgrade to Foley Field that will cost $1.35 million. The improvements include basically everything: The press box, the main entrance, ticket booth, dugouts, locker rooms and lounge, training room and batting cages, and other aspects of the field. In addition, the current outfield trees will be replaced due to age. . . . Out of concern over a lack of student turnout at football games, a series of changes will be implemented. Chief among them is tickets will be based first on attendance, then on seniority, while an appeals system will be created for students who have "a legitimate, unexpected reason for missing a game, such as a family emergency."I like the sound of all of that. Go 'Dawgs!
The Board also will be asked to approve improvements to Foley Field. "We're not going to build a brand new facility," McGarity said. "We don't have that necessity at this point. A few upgrades will be discussed tomorrow." There has been talk in past board meetings about making some code corrections to the press box and improvements to the right field area known as Kudzu Hill. The current baseball stadium was built in 1990 around the existing field. As UGA outlined in its master plan three years ago: "The stadium has become outdated over the years. The updates to the stadium have not responded to new facilities at rival institutions, therefore if is no longer near the top of the list of both national and conference baseball facilities. The press box is undersized and the stadium needs to be brought up to current codes."The nickeling and diming of the University's oldest varsity sport continues. Go 'Dawgs!
Clemson and Georgia have started talks that could result in the cancellation of the football series planned between the two schools for 2013 and 2014. UGA athletics director Greg McGarity confirmed the talks Tuesday, though there has been "no resolution or final determination yet," according to UGA. Talks were initiated by Clemson as a result of the ACC's move earlier this year to expand to a nine-game conference schedule to accommodate 14 members in the league.I promised my son a few years back that I would take him to his first road game at Clemson in 2013, when he will be ten. If I have to tell him we can't go, I'm going to be royally pissed off. Don't fail us, Greg McGarity. This sucks. Go 'Dawgs!
At least at this point in time, a nine-game football schedule has little support among the membership for myriad reasons, with the ADs at Georgia and Tennessee being the lone known exceptions.In Nashville today, seven hours of meetings produced no decision by the SEC athletic directors on an eight- or nine-game league schedule for 2013, but Greg McGarity appears open to the idea, in order to preserve the
McGarity said Thursday that a new model would be used for 2013 and beyond. It's not known what that model will be, but it will not be a nine-game schedule, Bloom said. The SEC has repeatedly asserted it is not adding another conference game since expanding to include Missouri and Texas A&M.The 2012 SEC schedule is due to be released early next week, and it appears pretty certain that the league will stick with an eight-game schedule at least for the next few seasons. For the short term, we appear to have dodged a bullet. For the long term, does this mean we're liable to be looking at an additional expansion, to 16 teams, within the next few years? Stay tuned. . . . Go 'Dawgs!
I love my players. I appreciate their hard work and investment in our program. I feel a responsibility and loyalty to protect and stand up for them. Also, I feel it is important to educate them on all areas of life. While my intentions were genuine, I feel it was unfortunate that things escalated to a confrontation. These actions were not representative of what this institution stands for. However, I will use it as a learning experience for myself as well as my players so that we all become better men.Todd Grantham comments publicly on Saturday night's incident. I wish some combination of Mike Slive, Greg McGarity, and Mark Richt hadn't put Coach Grantham in the position of having to make such a statement, but I'm glad he made sure to say he was sticking up for his players, which he was. For the record, the only statement made by James Franklin of which I am aware is this one: "Some things got a little bit out of hand. I know myself, and I don't want to speak for Coach Richt, I like the game to end a little bit differently. Walk off the field and move forward." That sounds really nice, except he's the one who came onto the field and started pointing at players and calling out to them; he's the one who made the postgame handshake confrontational. He doesn't know whether Coach Richt wishes the game had ended a bit differently? Was he paying attention to the classy way Coach Richt handled his berating during the postgame handshake? James Franklin is an arrogant, whiny, hypocritical jackleg, and, for what it's worth, the most lopsided final score in Georgia-Vanderbilt series history is 47-0. Let's shoot for 48-0 next year between the hedges. Go 'Dawgs!
Richt spoke to acting AD Frank Crumley today, and Crumley told him there would be an announcement on new AD "soon."It's not official, but it's danged close. Go 'Dawgs!
I am writing to enthusiastically recommend William Gregory McGarity ("Greg") to the position of Athletic Director at the University of Georgia. I have known Greg since childhood, as he and I went to school together in Athens. First and foremost, although he has spent the last 18 years at the University of Florida, Greg is indeed a bulldog. From 1973-1992, Greg worked his way up from a student assistant to the facilities and event management for the UGA Athletic Association. . . . Unfortunately for the Dawgs, the University of Florida recognized his talent and hard work ethic and he was off to Gainesville in the summer of 1992. Greg has excelled at UF during his time there. As much as you and I hate to admit it, Florida is an athletic powerhouse. I believe Greg has a lot to do with the teams' success. . . . . . . Greg's 37 years of work at two of the strongest athletic associations in the country make him the best candidate for the AD job. He has learned what it takes to run the entire department; whether it be managing events, searching for coaches, scheduling, or managing the budget, he knows and has executed it all. He is ready to get back to his hometown and to serve his alma mater in this distinguished position. I hope you will give him the fullest consideration possible.Congressman Jack Kingston, a great American. NCT, don't hold it against him that he's a Republican . . . or that he split an infinitive. :) Go 'Dawgs!

Jays add Dopirak, McCoy to roster
Third baseman claimed off waivers from Rockies
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays added a pair of players to their 40-man roster on Monday, selecting the contract of first baseman Brian Dopirak from Triple-A Las Vegas and claiming infielder Mike McCoy off waivers from the Rockies.
Over 139 games between Double-A New Hampshire and Triple-A Las Vegas last season, the 25-year-old Dopirak hit .317 with 27 home runs, 42 doubles and 102 RBIs. His strong offensive showing earned him an R. Howard Webster Award at Double-A -- an honor handed out to the most valuable player at each of Toronto's Minor League levels.
McCoy appeared in 12 games for Colorado last season, but he spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Colorado Springs. In 132 Minor League games -- mainly spent as a third baseman or shortstop -- McCoy hit .307 with two home runs, 27 doubles, 52 RBIs and 102 runs scored. The right-handed hitter stole 40 bases and finished the year with a .405 on-base percentage at Triple-A.

Google's new Google Plus service is making quite the wave in the tech world right now. For users of Apple's iPhone, however, there's one significant minus to the Google Plus experience.
Apple, you see, has yet to approve the Google Plus application for its iOS platform. Sure, iPhone users can still surf to the G+ website to sign in and keep up, but the Web-based experience is bush-league compared to the graphical app and its robust set of features (like group chat, automatic photo uploading, and integrated background notifications).
Here's what's most baffling about this: It's been about two weeks -- maybe even longer -- since Google finished the Google Plus iPhone app and submitted it to Apple's approval squad. How do we know? A Google employee posted a note (on Google Plus, of course) stating the following on July 4:
For my iPhone using friends: the Google+ iPhone app has been submitted to the App store (no not today, sometime prior to today) and is awaiting approval.
We all know about Apple's joke-inspiring policy of app approval and rejection. Let's face it: The satirical likening of Apple to a communist regime doesn't always seem so far-fetched. But we're talking about an app made by Google here, for Jobs' sake. Does anyone really believe there's a legitimate reason for Apple to be keeping it off its iOS platform?
[STORY: Reality check: Android's 'Trojan terror' is no cause for alarm]
Apple's played these kind of games plenty of times before. In the past, the company's approval committee has "protected" iPhone users from such dangerous creations as Google Voice, Google Latitude, and Sony's e-reader application (oh my!). Anyone who thinks Apple's restrictive approach is about its users is kidding themselves; the company's business interests are clearly the cause behind countless app rejections.
So what's up in this instance? I can see a few likely explanations for Apple's foot-dragging on the Google Plus iPhone app approval:
The turtleneck-loving team could be taking its time pulling the trigger just because it can (hey, why help Google out with a potentially lucrative new service?).
Jobs and co. might have a problem with some of the Google Plus app features, like group chatting and seamless photo sharing; those are vaguely similar to features offered in Apple's magical and revolutionary new iOS 5, and God forbid anyone create anything that might offer an alternative to a stock iPhone feature.
The Google Plus app could just be stuck in the queue like every other iOS-submitted application; maybe this is merely a demonstration of the standard treatment and inspection delay.
However you look at it, it's hard not to see this as a failure of Apple's app approval process. And Google isn't the only high-profile example. Just this week, WhitePages announced it was launching its new Localicious app on Android first due to its growing frustrations with Apple's approach. The company's previous smartphone app -- a reverse phone look-up directory -- has apparently been awaiting Apple approval for two full months now.
"I think we are going to see a lot of people start to ship Android first," WhitePages COO Kevin Nakao told AllThingsD. "You can't be held hostage."
Come on, Apple -- enough's enough. Get over yourself and put your users' interests first. It'll be magical...I promise.JR Raphael writes about smartphones and other tasty technology. You can find him on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+.

A snoball is a delicious frozen treat made of finely shaven ice, covered with your choice of handmade flavored syrups. It's like eating fresh fallen snow covered with your favorite fun topping! They are made to order and worth the wait! Once you try one of our snoballs you will not be disappointed!
Snoballs v. Snow Cones:
At Roux's, snoballs are not to be confused with snow cones. Snow cones are made with crushed ice. We use a special machine which shaves the ice, making the snoball as different from a snow cone as cotton candy is from taffy. They are light and melt in your mouth. We also add delicious toppings like sweetend condensed milk, marshmallow fluff, evaporated milk, caramel sauce, sour spray and whipped cream in order to make your snoball expierence the best it can be.

Drake-branded lint rollers to be given out at Toronto Raptors playoff game
Two seperate Drake-branded lint rollers will be available for tonight's Raptors playoff game as Bounce and IKEA compete for promotional capital
Drake the type of global brand ambassador to turn a nationally televised faux pas into a promotional opportunity.
Case in point: Following an embarrassing courtside lint rolling incident during the Toronto Raptors game 2 playoff win against the Brooklyn Nets (see below), the "Started From The Bottom" rapper has teamed up with
Swedish low-cost furniture retailer and monkey-baiter IKEA Bounce to provide branded rollers to fans attending tonight's game five match-up at the Air Canada Centre.
In a coordinated roll-out,
IKEA Canada Bounce and Drake's company OVO took to Twitter Wednesday afternoon to announce the promotion.
Tonight @Raptors game 5 http://t.co/h5yEXriMFI—
Octobers Very Own (@welcomeOVO) April 30, 2014
OVO x BOUNCE x RAPTORS Tonight #DrakeZone—
Octobers Very Own (@welcomeOVO) April 30, 2014
In a confusing move, IKEA Canada announced their own lint rolling distribution campaign at the same time, promising "details to come"
No lint in our house! We're giving out IKEA lint rollers before tonight's game. Details to come. Go T.O. #WeTheNorth http://t.co/zbw78amwFO—
IKEA Canada (@IKEACanada) April 30, 2014
At press time, Drake himself had yet to comment on the situation, but we imagine his reaction to the pitch was something like this:
UPDATE: According to the Toronto Star Procter and Gamble company Bounce is the official lint roller of the Raptors, producing 1,200 limited edition Raptors/OVO lint rollers that will be given out after the game to fans sitting in the 416 "Drake" Zone, in the square and via social media.
Naturally, Bounce has it's own rather unimaginative tagline: "Bounce, helping keep Raptors and OVO fans lint-free."
A spokesperson for Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment told The Star that IKEA will be banned from distributing lint-rollers on ACC property and has "zero association" with The Raptors.
As such…
No lint in our house! Come find us at NE corner of Bremner/York for a free IKEA lint roller. Go T.O.! #WeTheNorth http://t.co/zGBi3ARImn—
IKEA Canada (@IKEACanada) April 30, 2014
Meanwhile, at the game…
Tonight's Game 5, baby!! Let's show some #SwifferClean support for the @Raptors. #RTZ http://t.co/XaPOqp2LUK—
(@Swiffer) April 30, 2014
And in Toronto City Hall…
Wish @Drake would stop using my pre-council routine. Go @Raptors Go!! #WeAreNorth #RTZ #Raptors24 #TOpoli http://t.co/36ZrdBr8Xe—

Vivendi, the parent company of major record label Universal Music Group, recently filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against executives of the music sharing website Grooveshark, alleging the execs illegally posted thousands of protected songs to the site.
Universal's complaint contends that high-level employees of Grooveshark posted at least 113,777 of Universal's copyrighted tracks to the website, according to Billboard. Among those named in the suit are Grooveshark CEO Samuel Tarantino, who according to Universal posted at least 1,791 offending files, and Paul Geller, vice president of external affairs, who Universal says posted 3,453 protected tracks.
Grooveshark has previously faced lawsuits related to users posting copyrighted music to the site, and has successfully argued that it is not liable for users' infringement under the safe harbor provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. However, the DMCA does not protect a company whose own employees are violating copyright law, CNET reported.
Universal is seeking maximum allowable damages of $150,000 per track and a permanent injunction, which would effectively shut down Grooveshark.
A Grooveshark spokesperson said in an email that the company is confident it will be vindicated in court, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Universal recently acquired the recorded music assets of another major label, EMI, in a $1.9 billion deal.

My son turns 9 today!
Sadly Justin Bieber turns 19 today. For some reason my son hates JB more than about anything in the world. It likely has something to do with the Biebs being a "teen heart throb" or something and making all the girls in his class every year remind him that he shares a birthday with him. Here's hoping that the Biebs has lost the 9 year old girls' interest this year so my son can have a Bieber reference free birthday.
So Happy Birthday to my son and not to JB. JB has enough people wishing him a happy birthday I'm sure.
(Sidenote, I found out it's Dr. Seuss' birthday tomorrow – March 2nd. I'd much rather have a birthday share with Dr. Seuss!)
In related news: it's the anniversary of the day I became a mom!! I have cookies and cakes to make!
I'll upload cake photos after the party. I've learned everyone says, "Nice cake, I already saw it on facebook or your blog" when they arrive. Not this year! The pig cakes and the Minecraft cake are going to be epic, I hope!!

In 2005-06, the Nashville Predators set an NHL record by winning their first four games by one goal each. They also became the fourth NHL franchise to start the season 8-0 on top of setting the franchise mark for wins in a season with a record of 49-25-8.
By the end of the 2005-06 season, the Nashville Predators had accumulated 106 points and clinched home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs for the first time in team history. They also finished the season with an NHL best 32-8-1 record at home.
The Nashville Predators began the 2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs as the fourth seed and faced the fifth seeded San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference Quarterfinals. Game 1 of the series went to the Predators, who scored four power plays goals downing the Sharks 4-3. Paul Kariya, who had led the Nashville Predators in regular-season scoring, assisted on all four goals in that game.
In Game 2, Sharks goaltender Vesa Toskala posted his first postseason victory and shutout, and the San Jose Sharks defeated the Nashville Predators 3-0. In Game 3, the Predators fell to the Sharks 4-1. The Nashville Predators rallied from a 5-2 deficit, scoring their first even-strength goals of the series, but again fell to the Sharks 5-4 in Game 4.
Finally, despite a flurry of shots in the final minute, the Nashville Predators were defeated by the Sharks 2-1 in Game 5, which eliminated Nashville from the playoffs. Regular season back-up Chris Mason, who was forced into the starting position after the Nashville Predators discovered starter Tomas Vokoun had a rare blood disorder, could not easily keep the Sharks at bay, least of all Joe Thornton and Jonathan Cheechoo, who, on April 19, 2006, were described by the Associated Press's Greg Beacham as "the Sharks' scoring engine".
On July 18, 2006, long time fan favorite and team leader Scott Walker was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes for Josef Vasicek. Walker left as the franchise's all time leading scorer. This was immediately followed on July 19, 2006 by the trading of another fan favorite Adam Hall. Hall was sent to the New York Rangers in exchange for Dominic Moore, and then Moore was immediately shipped to the Pittsburgh Penguins along with Nashville Predators prospect Libor Pivko in exchange for a 3rd round draft pick in the 2007 NHL entry draft.
Also making headlines after the season was Tomas Vokoun and the condition of his blood disorder. Vokoun had back pain in April when doctors diagnosed him with pelvic thrombophlebitis, a rare blood condition that created a multitude of blood clots. He spent more than three days in the hospital while doctors ran tests and gave him blood thinners to reduce risks of a clot breaking loose.
He was released by doctors on July 25, 2006. Vokoun knows his blood clots could pose problems for him in the future, but as for now, the Nashville Predators are glad Vokoun is healthy and ready for next season.

Gun sales have skyrocketed in KOTA Territory and across the country.
Michael Mooney, owner of Southern Hills Tactical in Custer, says the demand for firearms is unprecedented.
He says he sold 85 assault weapons ranging from $650 dollars to $3,000 dollars in just three days.
He believes people are buying in bulk, in hopes of turning a profit later, when the weapons are presumably tougher to get.
"Never seen sales like this at all. In the month of December there was nearly 2.8 million sales transfers done though NICS, which is roughly a million more than the previous December," says Mooney.
Mooney says most of his buyers are in their mid 40's or older.
