"This is a bittersweet moment for me because I have this award, but you spelled my name wrong." Anne's speech began. "It is with an "e." It's probably in bad taste for me to point that out here, but um... I'm sorry I don't mean to be gauche."
Though the public mostly laughed at Hathaway's remark, it's hard to tell if she was actually offended or trying to be funny. Either way, and though if intended as a joke it was mildly entertaining, it was Ben Affleck who stole the show with his acceptance speech pun in which he 'thanked the Academy' for his award.

Stanwood boys rally to beat Glacier Peak 62-58
Fourth-quarter rally overtakes Glacier Peak in the 3A Boys District 1 semifinals
Just ask Stanwood head coach Zach Ward.
The Spartans and Glacier Peak battled the entire way with Stanwood overcoming a 10-point halftime deficit on its way to a 62-58 victory at Jackson High School.
"What a game," Ward said. "I'm just so happy for the kids. That's a game they're going to remember forever."
Junior guard Ian Zipp had 16 points off the bench for the Spartans as they narrowed the Glacier Peak lead late in the game.
"He's an x-factor," Ward said. "He can go in for anybody. He has a great energy and can play all over the floor. He's got pieces of everything you'd want in a player."
Stanwood's comeback was a team effort with Josh Thayer scoring 14 points, posts Drew Stang netting 11 points and grabbing six rebounds and Drew Sears grabbing six rebounds and scoring six points -- two of them clutch free throws with 4.2 seconds to play in the game.
"We got guys like Ian Zipp stepping up," Ward said. "Our big guys were good. Stang hit some big buckets. Sears free throws were game-clinching."
Stanwood had to come from behind thanks to a fast start by the Grizzlies, who outscored the Spartans 17-6 in the first quarter and had a 33-23 lead at halftime.
Ward said he "got into" his team a bit at halftime.
"I think they needed a wake-up call," Ward said. "I think that first half got to them with the bright lights. I've seen that before. It's the same thing that happened last year when we were (in the district tournament)."
"(Halftime) was definitely somber, but at halftime we were already coming back on an incline," Zipp said. "We knew we were going to give it to them."
Ward's speech rallied the Spartans. A 7-0 run in the third quarter brought Stanwood to within six points and the Spartans hung around until Mason Garcea made a 3-pointer with 5:04 to play in the fourth quarter to give Stanwood its first lead of the game 52-50.
Glacier Peak responded with some big baskets of its own. Dreu Vader led all scorers with 21 points -- 11 of which came in the second half. Mitchl Pohrman had 11 points, including two big 3-pointers and Trey Chambers added 10 points off the bench for the Grizzlies.
Glacier Peak head coach Brian Hunter was proud with his team's effort after the game.
"I just think they played really well," Hunter said. "I'm definitely proud of my kids. I'm not disappointed in them at all."
The Grizzlies and Spartans exchanged baskets in the final minutes of the game. Every time Thayer or a Stanwood player would make a basket, Vader or another Grizzly would respond on the other end.
It all set up a fantastic finish, punctuated by Sears' free throws in the final seconds.
"They made plays," Hunter said. "They got to the basket. They didn't quit. They're a great team."
The two coaches are good friends, with Ward having served as an assistant under Hunter. Ward said that the two talk every week, with this week being the exception.
"I have a lot of respect for Coach Hunter," Ward said. "He's a mentor of mine. I was his assistant. It's tough. I know how he's feeling. But I know he's going to have his team ready to go. They're good kids. Man, I wouldn't want to play them on that side of the bracket."
Glacier Peak plays host to Shorewood on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in a loser-out game. The winner of that game faces the winner of Shorecrest-Oak Harbor for the district's third berth to regionals.
"We'll let this game sink in," Hunter said. "It's a natural thing. Games like this hurt. By the time Monday comes around you've got to get back to work. One team comes from that end of the bracket and it's the team that doesn't give up and keeps working."
Stanwood next plays Mountlake Terrace in the district championship at 8 p.m Saturday at Jackson High School. The Hawks won the previous matchup 58-52 on Jan. 11.
Both teams advance to regionals where they can qualify for the 3A state tournament.
At Jackson H.S.
Glacier Peak 17 16 14 11 -- 58
Stanwood 6 17 19 20 -- 62
Glacier Peak–Ty Kjellesvik 2, Dreu Vader 21, Austin Kiser 0, Ramsey Rosales 6, Zach Pederson 8, Mitchl Pohrman 11, Trey Chambers 10. Stanwood–Mason Garcea 8, Josh Thayer 14, Cannen Roberson 3, Drew Stang 11, Ian Zipp 16, Brady Garcea 0, Kurtis Hushagen 4, Drew Sears 6. 3-point goals–Vader 1, Pohrman 2, Chambers 2, M. Garcea 1, Thayer 1. Records–Glacier Peak 17-5 overall. Stanwood 17-5.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon is cutting its aircraft carrier presence in the Persian Gulf region from two carriers to one, the Defense Department said Wednesday, in a move that represents one of the most significant effects of budget cuts on the U.S. military presence overseas.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has approved keeping just one carrier in the Persian Gulf region. The U.S. has maintained two aircraft carrier groups in the Gulf for most of the last two years.
Plans for the USS Harry S Truman to deploy to the Gulf later this week have been canceled. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, brought home from the Gulf in December for the resurfacing of its flight deck and other maintenance, will return later this month and stay until about summer. The USS John C. Stennis will leave the Gulf and return home after the Eisenhower arrives.
Pentagon press secretary George Little issued a statement Wednesday afternoon confirming the carrier decision after The Associated Press, citing unidentified U.S. officials, reported Panetta's the decision.
Little said the Navy asked Panetta to delay the deployments of the Truman and the USS Gettysburg, a guided-missile cruiser, because of budget uncertainty.
'This prudent decision enables the U.S. Navy to maintain these ships to deploy on short notice in the event they are needed to respond to national security contingencies,' Little said, adding that the U.S. will maintain 'robust military presence' in the region.
United States Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) said the cancellation of the Truman's deployment is the first 'shoe to drop' when it comes to sequestration cuts.
'This will not only hurt our national military preparedness, but the effect it will have on Hampton Roads is not only are sailors deployed, but as ship repair contracts are cut, as government contractors are furloughed one day a week, that's going to affect not only those folks who work for the Navy, work for the military, but all of the ancillary support services. That trickles through the whole Hampton Roads economy,' explained Warner.
United States Representative Randy Forbes (R-4th District) shared Warner's economic concerns.
'The thing is, we can't lose sight of -- at the same time we have these huge impacts -- we're having huge strategic impacts across the globe when you start cutting carriers out, and, also, we may not be able to do the work we need to make sure that we've got the missile defense system and the capabilities we need there in place,' Forbes said.
'The Navy's announcement throws thousands of sailors' lives topsy-turvy,' noted United States Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA). 'They've been making all these plans about a deployment, some sub-leasing their apartments and doing all kinds of other things.'
Kaine serves on the Senate's Budget and Armed Services Committee. He has been working with many of his fellow senators and believes they will be come up with an alternative to the sequestration cuts.
Kaine expected to see Panetta and General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at a hearing about Benghazi Thursday.
'If I have Secretary Panetta and General Dempsey sitting in a witness chair in front of me, I'm gonna talk to them about this,' Kaine told 13News. 'I'm going to be talking to them about this, and, basically, saying, look why don't we find a short-term bridge, move the sequester, and just make it a part of our orderly budget process, and not do this kinds of stupid non-strategic cuts that turn our service men's and women's lives upside down and make us less safe.'
In a statement Wednesday, Virginia Congressman Scott Rigell urged the president and the Senate to consider alternatives to avert sequestration.
'This most recent announcement concerning the USS Harry S. Truman and our carrier presence in the Persian Gulf is an early indication of the challenge our region will face if sequestration is not averted.'
In 2010, then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates approved a formal directive to keep two carrier groups in the Gulf amid escalating tensions with Iran. It has been part of a U.S. show of force in the region, particularly in an effort to ensure that the critical Strait of Hormuz remains open to naval traffic.
Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the strategic waterway, which is the transit route for about a fifth of the world's oil supply, in retaliation for increased Western-led sanctions.
The Pentagon blamed the decision on budget shortfalls in the current fiscal year spending as well as the threat of across-the-board automatic budget cuts that will be triggered if Congress doesn't act to stop them by the beginning of March. Congress has not approved a budget for this fiscal year, and instead has been passing bills to continue the same level of spending as last year. As a result, the Pentagon is operating on less money than it budgeted for this year.
On Wednesday, Panetta laid out a grim list of spending cuts the Pentagon will have to make in the coming weeks that he said will seriously damage the country's economy and degrade the military's ability to respond to a crisis.
Criticizing members of Congress as irresponsible, Panetta said lawmakers are willing to push the country off a fiscal cliff to damage their political opponents.
If Congress doesn't pass a budget, Panetta said, the Pentagon will have to absorb $46 billion in spending reductions in this fiscal year and will face a $35 billion shortfall in operating expenses.
'My fear is that there is a dangerous and callous attitude that is developing among some Republicans and some Democrats, that these dangerous cuts can be allowed to take place in order to blame the other party for the consequences,' Panetta said in a speech at Georgetown University. 'This is a kind of `so what?' attitude that says, `Let's see how bad it can get in order to have the other party blink.''
In separate, highly detailed memos sent to Congress, the military services described widespread civilian furloughs, layoffs and hiring freezes that will hit workers all around the country. Overall, the military will furlough 800,000 civilian workers for 22 days, spread across more than five months, and will lay off as many as 46,000 temporary and contract employees.
The Navy says it will cease deployments to South America and the Caribbean and limit those to Europe.
The Air Force warned that it would cut operations at various missile defense radar sites from 24 hours to eight hours. The Army said it would cancel training center rotations for four brigades and cancel repairs for thousands of vehicles, radios and weapons.
'These steps would seriously damage the fragile American economy, and they would degrade our ability to respond to crisis precisely at a time of rising instability across the globe,' Panetta said, adding that the self-made crisis 'undermines the men and women in uniform who are willing to put their lives on the line in order to protect this country.'
In addition to all of the more immediate cuts, U.S. troops are also likely to see a smaller pay hike next year than initially planned, due to strains on the budget. According to a defense official, the Pentagon will recommend that the military get a 1 percent pay increase in 2014, instead of a 1.7 percent raise. The official was not authorized to discuss the policy publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Georgetown appearance was likely one of Panetta's last speeches as defense secretary. He is set to leave the Pentagon this month. Former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel has been nominated to take his place and a vote by the Senate Armed Services Committee is expected this week.

The "report" by the Democratic staff of the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) on June 20, 2012, purports to show that taxpayers with income less than $200,000 would be harmed by tax policies developed by the House Ways and Means Committee and outlined by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan in the Fiscal Year 2013 budget, The Path to Prosperity: A Blueprint for American Renewal (Ryan budget).
Under the tax policies outlined in Ryan budget, individual taxpayers would be subject to two federal individual income tax rates – 10% and 25%; the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) would be eliminated; the federal corporate income tax rate would be reduced to 25%; and the 3.8% health care surcharge enacted as part of Obamacare would be repealed. The resulting revenue loss would be offset by the elimination of unspecified tax preferences.
In the "report," JEC Democratic staff utilizes a series of inconsistent data sources and analytical techniques. Consequently, the "report's" conclusions are either misleading or incorrect.
The "report" uses data from the Tax Policy Center. The Tax Policy Center employs a concept, "Cash Income Level," which imputes additional types of income that are not included on individual tax returns.1 The Tax Policy Center imputes all taxes – including corporate taxes – to individuals. Thus, the Tax Policy Center's definitions of both income and taxes are significantly different than the IRS data used elsewhere in the "report."

Winning essays land 10 people an hour-long turn aboard a vintage DC-3
Christopher Thiel, 11, takes a picture out of window of the DC-3 during the flight. He wrote in his winning essay that he wants to be pilot.

Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Ursula Denison, of Camano Island, is all smiles during her ride in a DC-3 Tuesday afternoon.
That was the last time Charles, an Army Air Corps pilot in World War II, flew the military version of the plane, called a C-47.
His missions during 1944 and '45 -- too many to count, he said -- took him throughout the Pacific. The flights included destinations in Australia, Japan, the Philippines and one that regularly involved crossing over 10,000-foot mountain range in New Guinea.
What brought Charles, 89, of Seattle, to the Historic Flight Foundation at Paine Field on Tuesday was the chance to ride again in the type of plane that he had piloted throughout the war.
Charles' son had entered his dad's story in a contest that invited the public to write essays on why they wanted be able to take a flight in the iconic plane. It also included the chance to spend a few minutes in the cockpit sitting in the co-pilot's seat.
Charles was one of 10 people whose winning essays allowed them to take one of two flights Tuesday on the vintage DC-3.
Passengers saw glimpses of the San Juan Islands, were treated to a buzz down the runway at Seattle's Boeing Field and had an aerial view of the University of Washington's remodeled Husky Stadium during the hour-long flights.
That's to say nothing of the views from an altitude of about 2,000 feet of Lake Washington, boats and ferries plying Puget Sound, backdropped by the Cascade Range.
The plane used in Tuesday's flights was manufactured in 1944. After the war, it was rehabilitated into a corporate aircraft for Johnson & Johnson, complete with two black telephones to allow back-of-the-plane passengers to call the cockpit to complain about turbulence.
Charles kept his pilot's eyes on the operation of the aircraft. "I was surprised we didn't use the flaps on takeoff," he said.
The plane was one of the best ever built, he said. "They're still going; it's amazing."
He said his turn in the co-pilot's seat felt great. "It would be nice to fly again and make a few turns and dips," he said.
He summed up his experience as, "kind of a big thrill, really."
Also on board Tuesday afternoon's flight was Gonzalo Canseco, of Everett. Born and raised in Bolivia, he has lived in the United States for 15 years, earning an engineering degree and now works at Boeing.
For Elaine Dow, 70, of Snohomish, the flight brought back memories of when she, as a young teacher in search of adventure, took DC-3 flights in Ethiopia.
Christopher Thiel, 11, of Marysville, wrote in his essay that he wanted to be on the flight because he hopes to be a pilot when he grows up. "It was so cool!" he said of his experience.
For Ursula Denison, 72, of Camano Island, the flight brought back a flood of memories. Denison and her family left a part of Germany which became East Germany after World War II.
In 1952, fearful of the Communist takeover, her mother, Denison and her four sisters escaped to West Berlin.
Denison's father, traveling separately, was caught and put in jail, but later was reunited with his family in West Germany.
Ursula Denison, her mother and sisters spent time in a refugee camp before eventually flying to Frankfurt. From her decades-old memories, the plane on that flight looked very much like the type of aircraft she was seated on Tuesday. "I'm amazed to be in this plane 60 years later," she said.
Denison grew up to marry an American serviceman. She arrived in the United States in August 1966 with a 3-month-old baby. She became a citizen, she said proudly, in 1973.
Both during Tuesday's flight and while sitting in plane's cockpit, she said she had to fight to hold in her emotions. She reached toward her necklace, decorated with two gold bands. They were the wedding rings of her parents, Englebert and Carola Schiveter. "They are with me today," she said.
It was hard to put what Tuesday's experience meant to her in words, she said. She settled on three. "Amazing. Incredible. Thrilling."

MADISON, Wis. - Locked in a defensive battle that was scoreless through two periods, the No. 8 Miami hockey team suffered another tough, low-scoring loss as Wisconsin pulled out a 1-0 win Friday night at the Kohl Center on a goal midway through the third period. The RedHawks (12-6-5) are now riding a season-long four-game winless streak while the Badgers (9-7-5) extended their winning streak to seven games and unbeaten streak to 11 games.
Miami finished with a 26-20 advantage in shots on goal, but UW netminder Joel Rumpel stopped all 26 shots to hand the RedHawks their fourth shutout of the season. Freshman goaltender Jay Williams made 19 saves in the defeat for the 'Hawks.
For the sixth time in the last 10 Miami games, the two sides went into the first intermission scoreless with the RedHawks holding a 12-7 edge in shots. Wisconsin had the best chances early, but Williams made back-to-back point-blank saves in the first five minutes. Miami earned the lone power play of the period and fired four shots on net but Rumpel came up with big saves each time, while he also robbed freshman forward Sean Kuraly on a one-timer in the slot earlier in the frame.
Neither team was able to generate many chances in the second stanza despite an 8-4 advantage in shots for the 'Hawks over the middle 20 minutes. The Badgers had one power play in the period but were unable to put a shot on goal, sending the contest to the third period deadlocked at 0-0.
With 12:50 remaining in the final frame, Joseph LaBate hit the crossbar after a Miami turnover created 2-on-1 rush, but the game remained scoreless. LaBate broke the deadlock, however, with 8:28 remaining on a sharp wrister from the left circle that snuck between Williams' left arm and his body. The goal was unassisted.
Sophomore forward Cody Murphy nearly tied it in the final minute but his shot hit the outside of the post. The 'Hawks pulled Williams in the final 30 seconds in favor of the extra attacker but Miami could not find the equalizer and suffered its third 1-0 loss of the year.
Freshman forward Alex Gacek led Miami with a game-high six shots on goal while Murphy put five on net. Each team was whistled for just one penalty in the game, a season low for Miami, while both squads were 0-for-1 on the power play.
The RedHawks and Badgers square off again Saturday in a non-conference contest at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT at the Kohl Center. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Wisconsin+ (FS Wisconsin alternate channel).

I was born on September 10, 1990, in Saint Paul, MN. I was given the name Chinna Chea. I don't have a middle name, just Chinna Chea. My nationality is Cambodian and Chinese. As a child I was a big crybaby. My mother would describe me as a happy child that cried a lot. I would cry for no apparent reason. If I saw my older sister crying or my little brother I would cry myself just because they were crying. Now that I'm grown up, I don't consider myself to be a crybaby. I don't cry as much, but I can sure say that I am a follower more than a leader. That's just how I am. I work as a team and I like being surrounded my amazing positive people. I'm not much of a leader, I could be independent, but I would prefer being in a group.
Jasmine Wallace
[ Drain ]
Jasmine piece of work that was display on the wall reminded me of different elements in nature. There were flowers, plants, rocks, and even newspaper rolled up into tiny cylinders that formed into what seemed to look like honey bee hive homes. All of those combined into one to represent what she thought of the world. Like many of the other artists art work displayed I've noticed her work strikingly compared to others because it was not only displayed on the wall, but also on the floor as well. I enjoyed viewing the splatter on the floor. I felt like the art work was melting off the wall onto the floor. Which showed the elements contain within Jasmine's master piece. Inside of the paper mache there was more life. As oppose to looking at it only from the outside, I only would have saw a form of a tree trunk, ready to erupt from the ground. Hidden in a way that no one could see the depth meaning of Jasmine's world.
Laura Primozic
[ And Then There Was One ]
Laura's art work was a bit confusing to me. I wasn't sure what she was trying to convey with the flowers on one side of the massive objects that looked to be like cans of some sort. Perhaps waste from what our population has led up to. The candle wax that was used to demonstrate water worked out perfectly. However I think maybe adding a darker color to even out the objects that was above the wax could have made her project more interesting. The flowers were beautiful, but I didn't understand the concept between the cans vs the flower on ice. I'm not sure what I was looking for with her piece.
Where the Wild Things Are
One particular scene that had scared me a bit in this movie was when Max (the main boy character) who was running away from his friend Carol (the big main Monster character) to get away from Carol's mad lash out when he found out that Max was lying to him about have immoral powers. This particular scene he hid away from Carol by hiding in Judith's mouth (another monster female character). When Max was hidden away inside Judith's mouth I was terrified because inside of her was dark. There was no way out. There was a limited of light showing from the top portion, which was when she was speaking to Carol. You could here the voices arguing inside of Judith's stomach, which showed how thick and hallow her body was. There were no organs of any type of blood inside which made it less scary but there were slimy liquid substances within her that made it seem a little disgusting. There were a lot of things going on in that scene. Another instance happen after she pulled Max out of her mouth. While inside of Judith's body I had that same sense of compelling feeling for Max of loneliness and hopelessness as he sat besides Judith. The music was soft and sad, which gave the same emotion captured with the darkness inside of Judith's body. There are so many ways you can use and manipulate effects to make the audience feel or react a certain you want them to if you play it right. Timing is just as important.

This win was special for Jacksonville volleyball coach Melinda Rakes.
Moreover, the Cardinals' 3-0 victory over White Oak on Tuesday night was just as big for junior standout Keenan Marks and her teammates.
Jacksonville finally recorded a win over its rival after defeating the Vikings 25-20, 25-18, 25-16 in a Coastal 3-A Conference match at The Bird Cage.
"I've been coaching here for three years and this is the first time we've won (over WOHS), period," Rakes said with a smile. "Most of these girls have been on varsity for the last three years and have taken a beating."
Not on this night, marking the first time anyone from Jacksonville could remember the Cardinals defeating the Vikings.
"I don't think I was at the school when it last happened," Marks said. "White Oak is a good team …and they played a good match, but a win is good."
In fact, WOHS had won four straight over JHS, which last beat the Vikings in 2010 when they swept their rivals.
It certainly was a good victory for Jacksonville (8-4, 5-1). The Cardinals remained in second place in the conference behind Swansboro (10-0, 6-0) entering the second round of league play.
"We are better than what I was hoping for," Rakes said. "Hopefully from here we will continue to build."
That's exactly what White Oak coach Brenda Wickwire is hoping her Vikings (5-7, 2-4) do as well. White Oak had its moments against Jacksonville, but they just weren't enough.
"Jacksonville is a good team and they have a lot of hitters who are pretty confident in their hitting," Wickwire said. "That was a challenge for my girls. I have some young girls out there. This is their first experience playing varsity, but they played real well."
Having already won the first two sets, the Cardinals appeared to be in prime position for an easy sweep as they took a 15-4 lead in the third set following an 8-0 run that started with a sideout by the Vikings and a block by Jacksonville's Kayla Malu.
However the Vikings scored the next seven points to get to within 15-11. All the White Oak points in that run came after serves from Houston Etscheidt.
"We try to teach them to keep playing," Wickwire said. "They didn't give up when we were down."
The Cardinals then regained their momentum following a timeout.
A block by Brittany Ochs was the first of a four-point run for JHS. With the Cardinals later leading 24-16, the match ended when the Vikings hit the ball into the net.
"We definitely lost focus," Rakes said. "We started expecting them (Vikings) to make mistakes. I called timeout and told them that we were no longer communicating and that no one was calling for the ball or calling to hit it. I needed them all to start speaking again."
The Cardinals got the message.
"Our coach called timeout there and that helped us out," Marks said. "She told us to calm down and play our game."
In addition to communicating, Jacksonville's game plan Tuesday was to try to limit White Oak senior standout Emily McLain. To do that, the Cardinals just about had to improvise.
"Emily has a heavy arm from the front row and the back and we struggled with her. She was getting kills in the first set and in the second set we said, 'You know what, we are going to fix this,'" Rakes said. "And so we put a triple block on her.
"We called a timeout and told all three on the front that the ball should not make it to the back row and that if it does, it should come off the block. We should have plenty of time to get it."
There was one player in particular who got the ball a lot, Rakes said.
"I think all of them bought into it, but Dani Hayden, our libero, really was able to accept the back court by herself," Rakes said. "She was literally in the back court by herself."
Hayden had 35 digs.
Marks led Jacksonville with 28 assists and 17 digs while Ochs added 19 digs and Cassie Padilla had nine kills.
Chandler Earley had 11 assists for the Vikings, who trailed 20-18 in the second set before the Cardinals the final five points to win it. In the first set, Jacksonville led just 18-16, but a 4-0 run put the Cardinals ahead by six.
"Our whole team worked hard, but we were probably a little slower than we needed to be," Wickwire said. "We also struggled with serve-receive because Jacksonville has a lot of good servers."
White Oak 20 18 16
Jacksonville 25 25 25
LEADING PLAYERS—W: Earley 11 assists; Etscheidt 10 points. J: Padilla 9 kills, 7 digs, 3 aces; Marks 28 assists, 17 digs, 5 kills, 2 aces; Byes 12 digs, 6 kills; Ochs 19 digs, 6 kills; Hayden 35 digs. RECORDS—W: 5-7, 2-4, at Havelock on Thursday. J: 8-4, 5-1, at Northside on Monday.

Menendez says he reimbursed donor for 2 jaunts
Thursday - 1/31/2013, 6:26pm EST
By PETE YOST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Robert Menendez's office says he reimbursed a prominent Florida political donor $58,500 on Jan. 4 of this year for the full cost of two of three trips Menendez took on the donor's plane to the Dominican Republic in 2010.
More details about the New Jersey senator's trips emerged as his office said unsubstantiated allegations that the senator engaged in sex with prostitutes in the Dominican Republic are false.
There had been no public disclosure of the two trips until now.
"The senator paid for the two trips out of his personal account and no reporting requirements apply," Menendez spokeswoman Tricia Enright said Wednesday night.
The FBI searched the West Palm Beach, Fla., office of the donor _ eye doctor Salomon Melgen _ on Tuesday night and early Wednesday, but it was unclear if the raid was related to Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat. In addition the FBI agents, investigators with the U.S. Health and Human Services Department also were seen carting boxes out of the office.
A third trip by Menendez aboard Melgen's plane _ a campaign fundraising journey to the donor's residence in the Dominican Republic _ took place in May 2010. That trip was reported to the Federal Election Commission as a $5,400 expenditure by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which Menendez chaired. The trip, for fundraising from the community of Americans in the region, took Menendez to Puerto Rico as well as the Dominican Republic, said Menendez's office. The $5,400 was paid to one of Melgen's companies, Vitreo Retinal Consultants.
Menendez categorized the other two trips as personal. The first was Aug. 6-9, 2010, a round trip from South Florida to the Dominican Republic. The second was Sept. 3-6, 2010, from New Jersey to the Dominican Republic and back.
Menendez could have invoked what is known as a "friendship exemption" regarding the two personal trips, which would have required the senator to report the travel to the Senate Ethics Committee as a gift. Instead, Menendez chose to reimburse the full cost of the two trips.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., turned aside questions about Menendez at a news conference Thursday, saying they should be directed to the New Jersey Democrat instead. On Tuesday _ before the disclosures about the FBI raid and the trips _ he had expressed skepticism about the allegations, telling reporters to consider the source.
White House press secretary Jay Carney declined to answer when asked whether the president still has full faith and confidence in Menendez. "I don't have anything for you on that," Carney told reporters Thursday.
The Daily Caller, a conservative website, reported shortly before the November election that Menendez traveled on Melgen's private plane to the Dominican Republic to engage in sex with prostitutes. Some New Jersey Republicans filed a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee last fall in the wake of the allegations by The Caller. In response, Menendez's staffers searched records for trips by the senator and found the two additional trips that hadn't been reimbursed.
On Tuesday, Menendez became chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, succeeding Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.
At FBI headquarters in Washington, spokesman Jason Pack said the bureau "cannot comment on the existence or status of an investigation." Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler also declined to comment.
Records filed in Palm Beach County show an Internal Revenue Service lien against Melgen of more than $11.1 million for unpaid taxes from 2006-09. Prior liens for taxes from 1998 to 2002 were subsequently withdrawn, records show.
Menendez's office said the accusations of engaging with prostitutes "are manufactured by a politically motivated right-wing blog and are false."
Menendez's office said Melgen has been a friend and political supporter of the senator for many years and said the three trips Menendez took have been "paid for and reported appropriately." Menendez's office later changed the statement's wording to specify that the trips had been "paid for or reported appropriately," correcting the misimpression that all three trips had been publicly disclosed.
The Daily Caller began publishing stories about Menendez and Melgen on Nov. 1, when it reported that two women from the Dominican Republic said Menendez paid them for sex earlier in 2012. Prostitution is legal in the Caribbean nation.
Melgen is involved in numerous businesses, all sharing the same address in West Palm Beach, according to records filed with the Department of State in Florida.
Late Tuesday and early Wednesday, FBI agents were seen inside the West Palm Beach building, walking its halls and standing beside shelves full of files.

not a bad cologne, reminds me of another cologne i like, but can't think of it. it does have a nice smell, and i wear it around the house. but if i were going out to find women, this is not a scent i would wear, just because it doesn't have the staying power of other fragrances.
