San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick Friday refuted media reports that he is being investigated for sexual assault in Miami.
A police report released by Miami police Thursday made no mention of sexual assault, but described an incident where Kaepernick was drinking and smoking marijuana with a woman as well as 49ers wide receiver Quinton Patton in Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette's Miami apartment.
The woman later woke up in a hospital bed without remembering what happened, according to the report.
"The charges made in the TMZ story and other stories I've seen are completely wrong," Kaepernick posted on Twitter this morning. "They make things up about me that never happened."
He continued, "I take great pride in who I am and what I do, but I guess sometimes you have to deal with someone who makes things up. I want to thank all of the people who have shared their encouraging sentiments. I assure you that your faith is not misplaced."
The suspicious incident investigated on Miami police happened on April 1. Kaepernick, Patton, Lockette and the woman were reportedly drinking and smoking marijuana in Lockette's apartment when the woman became light-headed and went to lie down.
According to the report the woman and Kaepernick had a previous sexual relationship and shortly after she went to lie down the two started kissing and Kaepernick was undressing her.
Kaepernick then left the bedroom and told her he would be right back, according to the report.
A short time later Lockette allegedly peeked into the room and the woman said, "What are you doing? Where is Colin?" according to the report.
After that, the woman told police she doesn't remember anything and woke up in a hospital bed without knowing how she got there.
49ers general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement Thursday that the team is "aware of the recent media report regarding Colin Kaepernick and is in the process of gathering the pertinent facts."
Two of Kaepernick's teammates have court dates in San Jose Friday afternoon for run-ins with the law. Linebacker Aldon Smith has hearings scheduled for separate allegations of possessing an illegal assault weapon and driving under the influence.
Cornerback Chris Culliver is scheduled to be arraigned Friday afternoon for allegations of carrying metal knuckles and hit-and-run charges.

Judge backs Wash. law on releasing mentally ill
A Pierce County Superior Court judge is backing the current state law on when the mentally ill should be released from Western State Hospital in Lakewood.
The Associated Press
A Pierce County Superior Court judge is backing the current state law on when the mentally ill should be released from Western State Hospital in Lakewood.
While reversing a March 13 ruling by a court commissioner in a case concerning two women committed to Western State more than two dozen times, Judge Jerry Costello said Friday he agrees that with the state law that says doctors, not judges should make commitment decisions, The News Tribune ( http://is.gd/bJMJkV) reported in Saturday's newspaper.
Recently, both women were released despite court orders to detain them.
One woman, 27, is a convicted sex offender, and has been institutionalized in various settings since the age of 14. The hospital released her eight days after a court order involuntarily committed her for 90 days. A day later, she assaulted staff members at an assisted-living facility.
The other woman, 44, is prone to self-mutilation, including stabbing herself in the abdomen and swallowing razor blades. The hospital released her in January, two months before the expiration of a 180-day commitment order.
Court Commissioner Craig Adams said the women were released for technically flawed reasons, despite state laws that give doctors wide discretion. He says the state's commitment system operates without legal accountability.
On Friday, Costello tackled Adams' legal reasoning while avoiding the issues surrounding the state's mental-health system.
"Medical, political and administrative decisions are not for this court to review," he said. "Observers may well wonder about the decisions that were made in (the women's) cases. Those are not issues for this court."
Costello basically restored the status quo. The arguments hinged on types of mental-health diagnoses and the slender difference between two legal phrases: "grave disability" and "likelihood of serious harm to self or others."
Costello came to a relatively simple conclusion: The hospital, not the court, has the final say on a patient's mental fitness, and that was what state lawmakers intended when they wrote the commitment laws.
"The Legislature plainly intended for experts to exercise their judgment about patient care and make release decision accordingly," he said.
For Adams to be right, Costello said, the state's commitment law had to be unconstitutional.
"The law as written is constitutional," Costello said. "The manner in which it has been applied is constitutional."

Boys' soccer has lofty goals for new season
By Kyle Salomon,
Mustang boys soccer team enters the 2014 season with big expectations.
Mustang opens the regular season at 8 p.m. Tuesday against Norman at home. They will also play at 8 p.m. March 7 at Yukon.
"Overall, I feel really good about how we have done in the preseason," Mustang head coach Jared Homer said. "We have had a lot of scrimmages against good competition. There are things we still need to work on, but I am pleased with where we are at right now."
The Broncos are returning eight starters from last year's group that went 6-7, but made significant strides at the end of the season.
Mustang lost six seniors off last season's team. Goalkeeper Charlie Schneider, midfielder Nathan Whitey, midfielder Josh McDaniel, defender Preston Graf, goalkeeper Dakota Warrington and defender Matt Burns graduated last May.
The Broncos will have five seniors on the roster this season when the ball is kicked for the first time. Defender Dalton Eldredge, forward Colton Haskin, forward Tanner Lynn, forward Alex Schilke and goalkeeper Colton Hadlock will be playing their final season in a Mustang uniform.
The returning starters from last year's squad are junior defender Josh Vannoy, junior defender J.P. Junglen, Haskin, Lynn, Schilke, junior midfielder Dae Chul Heo, junior midfielder Cutter Smith and junior midfielder Connor Partin.
"We finally have experience all over the field this year," Homer said. "We have guys that have been playing for two or three years now. The leadership and competitiveness has been really good so far. I am looking forward to seeing what this group can do."
Homer said the expectation level has risen quite a bit this year.
"We definitely have lofty goals this season," he said. "Both our staff and our players expect to not only be in the playoffs, but to host a playoff game at the end of the year. There is no reason we shouldn't be able to accomplish those goals."

River City Harvest Mission Statement:
Provide space for local citizens to garden together. Create a shared vision, work collaboratively, and to cultivate a place for people to learn about and to experience the joys of gardening. Provide education, outreach programs and activities and to help supplement food donation organizations.
How River City Harvest got Started
In 2008, Deb Oleynik and Amy Grisak approached Wade Crouch, the Cascade County MSU Extension agent, about starting community gardens in Great Falls to provide gardening spots for those who didn't have ideal areas at home. Theresa Kiss joined them as they set the groundwork during this first year with the help of a steering committee to create River City Harvest.
The purpose of River City Harvest is:
~To develop accessible garden plots for local residents to grow their own vegetables and flowers providing healthful, economical fresh produce and flowers for themselves and their families.
~To educate the public on growing and preserving garden vegetables and to promote edible and beautiful landscapes.
~To assist local charitable organizations by growing and donating produce for food banks and similar projects.
The first garden in 2009 at Park Place Health Care Center was half of its 18000 sq. ft. size. This was the first tenuous experiment to see if the Great Falls community really wanted to get their hands in the dirt. Besides the gophers descending upon the newly planted vegetables as their personal buffet and all of the gardeners sharing a single hose from the building to water the roughly 9000 sq. ft. garden, the first year was a smashing success.
In 2010 the gardens grew exponentially. The director of Park Place Health Care Center allowed us to double the size of the garden. Ace Hardware donated their talented staff and materials to install a water line with hose bibs down the center aisle of the garden. The City of Great Falls donated bark chips to make the center aisle neat and tidy, and Wade put the smack on the gophers for a second season. Ace and Master Gardeners also tended a couple of large plots for the Food Bank and Meals on Wheels.
RCH also took over the management of the gardens at Electric City Conservatory. They were started a couple of years prior by Casey Bailey and the youth group at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. They provided fantastic groundwork of raised beds and an organic base. RCH rented out 20 one hundred square foot plots, and planted five of them for Meals on Wheels. The gardeners provided a whole lot of carrots, tomatoes, peppers and yellow crookneck square for the seniors, and the plot renters enjoyed a successful season.
Our third garden that year was at a private residence on the west side of town. The older gentleman wasn't able to garden on his own, so he invited in the community gardeners. It was the smallest garden, but highly productive.
Finally, RCH helped the Salvation Army start a garden for their family services program. The 8000 sq ft gorgeous gardening area was managed by Kathy Craig and her team of Master Gardeners. They watered the entire thing with a single hose hooked up to the bathroom sink inside the building, so they were greatly restricted on their schedule. Still they made it work. By the end of the season, they harvested roughly 5000 pounds of fresh veggies for their program.
The 2011 season included all of the above gardens, as well as taking the reins at the University of Great Falls. It's a 50×100 ft garden divided into 10 plots, and has the added benefit of a lovely shed built by an Eagle scout. It's a productive area that will be a great benefit to everyone involved.
RCH intends to expand the gardening opportunities for the Great Falls' gardeners, as well as grow great, fresh food for the local charitable organizations. Our latest garden was created in 2013 on Malmstrom AFB. This year we've acquired the new Southside Garden which is dedicated to helping the aging services. River City Harvest is continually looking for places to crop up and start new gardens. If you're interested in joining us as a gardener – or a volunteer – or If you know of an area or neighborhood that is interested in having a community garden contact us to be part of the fun!

I am interested in renting a plot this coming year, and i am also interested in the addresses of the different locations of the garden plots so i can choose which one would suit me the best.

Please help identify this beautiful flowering plant: - Purchased at a sale in Sonoma County, was not blossoming at the time. (No they didn't know what it was.) - Whithered outside in the summer heat, so we brought it inside, and it produced these beautiful blooms, but no on knows what it is! - Was suggested it was similar to an Abutilon, but those blossoms hang down; these blossoms look similar to a Fuchsia, but grow upright instead of hanging down. - Seems to prefer moderate temps, has maintained quite well in our east-facing kitchen window where it gets morning sun. - Became infested by aphids, but those have been all but eradicated by the ladybugs I've been bringing in from the yard. Any ideas??!! I can provide close ups of the blossoms if necessary - Thanks! :) |

Malvaviscus |
Yep. |
I know this as "sleeping hibiscus" |
You guys are awesome - The common name for the Malvaviscus is Sleeping Hibiscus! I just looked up both of those and looks like that's what it is! Also known as Turk's Cap, as noted on the San Francisco Botanical Garden website. Mystery solved - thanks for your help! :) |

Read the press release below for more information:
Winnetka, IL, August 13, 2014 – Open Communities has completed a three-year project to investigate and address discrimination against all persons protected under the Federal Fair Housing Act, including the underrepresented populations of immigrants, seniors, and the homeless in 16 of Chicago's northern suburbs.
Open Communities investigated discriminatory practices in housing markets (from Lincolnwood to Highwood to Park Ridge and areas in between) in order to ensure that all people have an equal opportunity to apply for and retain the housing of their choice. Work under the grant included discrimination complaint intake and investigation, fair housing education, a senior housing study, a focus group study on outsider perceptions of the North Shore, and a housing audit looking for patterns of discrimination in Open Communities' 16 community service area.
Open Communities findings include:
• Most municipal leaders verbally express support for diversity and fair housing laws; however, many local fair housing ordinances do not reflect this support.
• Although few African Americans lodged complaints with Open Communities, audit testing found that racial discrimination against blacks persists in the rental and ownership markets, but in ways that are not obvious to the community or to the home seekers.
• Few suburban officials either support or endorse affordable housing in their suburbs.
Based on the findings of the work completed under this grant, Open Communities has five (5) recommendations for municipalities and the real estate community: 1) Affirmatively advertise their communities as open; 2) Promote housing stock that is affordable to people with low and moderate incomes, with an eye to preserving and expanding rental housing as well as ownership options; 3) Encourage more public transportation, consulting with users about appropriate routes and schedules; 4) Address concerns about the comfort levels of new residents; and 5) Recruit people of color, immigrants, and people with disabilities to appointed or elected positions in local government.
Open Communities commends municipalities such as Niles, Northbrook and Morton Grove that requested fair housing training when presented with the fair housing audit findings. Open Communities also commends Evanston and Wilmette for requiring all landlords/realtors to provide home seekers a statement of the local fair housing law.
Open Communities urges communities to comply with the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act to create at least 10% affordable housing in their communities because this action also affirmatively furthers fair housing. Deerfield, Lincolnwood, and Park Ridge did not submit affordable housing plans to the state as required in 2005. These suburbs as well as Glencoe, Glenview, Highland Park, Kenilworth, Morton Grove, Northbrook, Northfield, Wilmette and Winnetka must submit updated plans by June 2015. Open Communities also strongly encourages Kenilworth and Winnetka to create Fair Housing Ordinances at the municipal level.
