The invention relates to a device and system for preventing improper use of a car. The device uses an electronically controlled fuel shut off system located internally of the fuel tank. The system requires the operator of the car to enter a private identification number or PIN code in order to operate the vehicle. In addition, the electronically controlled fuel shut off system is remotely activated allowing law enforcement officials, upon encountering the car being used improperly, to shut off the fuel supply and disable the car. Upon entry of a security code by law enforcement officers, the circuit board stops the flow of current to the fuel shut off system, thereby halting the flow of fuel through the fuel line and shutting down the engine.
1. A disabling system for a vehicle having a fuel tank, fuel line and a key ignition switch, said disabling system comprising:
an electromagnetic valve disposed within the fuel tank, said valve reciprocating between an open position and a closed position for controlling fuel flow from the fuel tank through the fuel line;
a first keypad mounted within the vehicle for inputting a first security code;
circuitry having inputs and an output, said circuitry electrically coupled to said first keypad and the ignition switch at said inputs and electrically coupled to said electromagnetic valve at said output;
processor means for comparing the first security code to a stored code, said processor means being coupled to said circuitry and activated by the ignition switch;
receiver means electrically coupled to said circuitry; and
a second remote keypad mounted within a law enforcement vehicle, said second keypad including transmitter means for transmitting an override signal to said receiver means;
wherein said processor means prevents activation of the electromagnetic value and returns the valve to its closed position upon reception by the receiver means of the override signal, thereby disabling the vehicle.
2. The system according to claim 1, wherein said second remote keypad comprises a first keyboard panel for inputting a vehicle identification code and a second keyboard panel for imputing a second security code; whereby upon correct entry of the identification code and the second override code, said transmitter means transmits the security signal to said receiver means.
3. The system according to claim 1, wherein said processor means prevents actuation of said electromagnetic valve to maintain the valve in the closed position when the entered first security code and the stored code are not equal and allows actuation of said electromagnetic valve to reciprocate the valve in the open position when the entered first security code and the stored code are equal.
4. The system according to claim 1, further including display means disposed within the vehicle for visually indicating the position of said electromagnetic valve.
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/018,022, filed May 21, 1996.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a device for preventing auto theft, and more particularly to a disabling system including a remotely controlled electromagnetic valve for shutting off fuel flow to an automobile engine.
2. Description of Prior Art
The theft of cars is a well known problem. One skilled in car theft can easily forge keys or by-pass the ignition switch to start the engine. Also, certain anti-theft devices, such as steering wheel locks, brake locks, and/or transmission locks, are easily removed by a crafty thief. Even the more expensive electronic car alarm systems have been thwarted by the experienced car thief. Once stolen by a career car thief, cars are either sold in parts, or used to commit other criminal acts. There is a long felt need to provide a way of preventing a car from being stolen.
Many prior art devices have come about to combat this problem of car theft. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,432,495, issued to Thompkins, discloses a remote radio control system for activating an ignition kill switch in the event the car is operated without the consent of the owner. U.S. Pat. No. 5,193,641, issued to Durrell, discloses a system requiring a PIN code in order to keep a car running. That is, if the car is started improperly, after a certain time interval, the fuel system will be cut off unless the PIN code is properly entered. E.P.O. Patent Doc. 317,485, issued to Kimura et al., discloses a system for remotely starting and subsequently operating various features (e.g., heating the passenger compartment) of mobile equipment. U.K. Patent Doc. 2,079,837, issued to Soss, discloses a system for securing an automobile, dwelling house, or the like, using a remote transmitter for activating or deactivating the system. U.S. Pat. No. 4,991,683, issued to Garretto et al., discloses an anti-theft vehicle system that shuts off power to an engine coil, fuel pump, or fuel flow valve until a reset device, such as a switch or keyboard, is activated. U.S. Pat. No. 4,893,240, issued to Karkouti, discloses a system for operating selected functions of a vehicle remotely, including starting the engine. U.S. Pat. No. 4,553,511, issued to Hayakawa et al., discloses a keyboard for user input of a code in order to start the ignition of a car. U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,962, issued to MaKinnon, discloses a timing circuit in conjunction with a concealed switch, for providing an auto anti-theft device. U.S. Pat. No. 3,834,484, issued to Sangster discloses an anti-theft device for I.C. engines. U.S. Pat. No. 3,657,720, issued to Avdenko et al., discloses a remote system for starting and stopping an automobile engine by a pair of radio transceivers.
None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed.
The present invention reduces the number of cars stolen, thus reducing the potential use of the car in subsequent misdeeds by the car thieves. In addition, the present invention reduces the number of cars stolen, stripped and sold as parts by the nefarious "chop shops". The present invention provides security, protection, and safety for a car from would be larcenists. In most instances, stolen cars are used either as "get-away" cars or for black market parts, and are generally involved in a high speed chase. It is unfortunate that in most instances of such a car chase, injuries and/or fatalities may result. In a broader spectrum, the car may be driven by a person who has had too much to drink. Even in this scenario, injuries and/or fatalities are commonly the outcome. Likewise, in recent years many larger cities have seen an increase in "car jacking" incidents. These situations involve an unsuspecting motorist having their vehicle commandeered for no apparent reason. However, the vehicles are usually damaged and the motorist has suffered mental and physical harm.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the anti-theft device in placed on an automobile in combination with a fuel tank, a fuel line, and an ignition switch. The anti-theft device includes a control panel mounted within the vehicle interior and an electromagnetic valve disposed between the fuel tank and the fuel line. The control panel includes a keypad, circuitry having plural inputs and an output which allows the circuitry to be electrically coupled to the keypad and the ignition switch at its inputs and to the electromagnetic valve at its output, and a processor integral with the circuitry and responsive to plural inputs for controlling the electromagnetic valve. The processor is activated by the ignition switch and prompts a user to enter a first security code through the keypad, next the processor compares the first security code to a stored code and controls operation of the electromagnetic valve in response thereto. The electronic valve is normally maintained in a closed position which prevents fuel flow from the fuel tank through the fuel line. Upon actuation of the electronic valve, it is energized to reciprocate into its open position which allows fuel to flow from the fuel tank through the fuel line. Where the first security code is equivalent to the stored code, the processor actuates the electromagnetic valve to reciprocate into the open position. However, when the first security code is not equivalent to the stored code, the processor prevents actuation of the electromagnetic valve, thereby maintaining the electromagnetic valve in its closed position. A remote unit is provided in a law enforcement patrol car, for example, and the circuitry is provided with a receiver for receiving an override signal from a transmitter of the remote unit. This allows law enforcement officers to disable a vehicle which is currently operating (i.e., the electromagnetic valve in the open position). Upon receipt of the override signal from the transmitter, the processor prevents actuation of the electromagnetic valve and returns the electromagnetic valve to its closed position, thereby disabling the vehicle.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a security device to a car for preventing car theft.
It is another object of the invention to provide a system requiring a private identification number code for securing a car.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a remote control of the security device of the car.
Still another object of the invention is to equip a car with a device that shuts off the fuel flow to the engine, preventing the improper operation of the car.
It is still another object of the invention is to equip a car with a device that shuts off the fuel flow to the engine via remote control, preventing the improper operation of the car.
It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof in an apparatus for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
FIG. 1 is an environmental view of the invention in use.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the invention.
FIG. 3 is an environmental view of the remote transmitter of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is an elevational view of the remote transmitter of the present invention.
Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
The present invention provides security, protection, and safety for a car from would be larcenists. As shown in FIG. 1, a stolen car 10 is being pursued by a law enforcement vehicle 12, possibly at a high rate of speed. It is unfortunate that in most instances such a car chase may result in injuries and/or fatalities. The present invention gives the law enforcement vehicle 12 an edge to prevent dangerous acts to be perpetrated by the driver of the car 10. The law enforcement vehicle 12 carries a remote transmitter 18 that sends a signal 14 to a receiver 16 in the car 10 causing the fuel flow to the engine to cease, thereby disabling the car 10.
The present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, is installed in the car 10 in cooperation with the ignition switch 20. The ignition switch 20 normally starts the engine, however, a keypad 22 is installed intermediate the ignition switch 20 and the engine. It is conventional in the art to provide an intermediate switch between an ignition switch and the engine. Such switches merely allow the electrical ignition circuit to close. The keypad 22 does not interfere with the electrical ignition circuit, rather the keypad 22 responds to the ignition switch 20 and also receives a private identification (PIN) code. The PIN code is known only to the owner or driver of the car (and anyone he or she wishes to have the code). Once the ignition switch is turned to the first position, the PIN code must be entered on the keypad 22. If the proper code is entered, the "OK" light will be momentarily illuminated and then the car is ready to start. On the other hand, if an improper code is entered, the "RE-ENTER CODE" light will be illuminated until the proper code is entered. The device is definable to accept a number of attempts (i.e., up to five attempts) for proper code entry, but preferably only two attempts will be accepted. If the proper code is not entered via keypad 22 within the allotted number of attempts, the device will not open the fuel supply, thus preventing the car from being driven.
Housing 34 (containing circuit board 36) is hermetically sealed, preventing entry by elemental contaminants, and uninvadably sealed, preventing infiltration by a would be perpetrator. Circuit board 36 includes circuitry capable of receiving codes, storing codes, processing codes, and controlling the valve represented as solenoid 30 and magnetized core stopper 28. In addition, housing 34 is permanently attached to the keypad 22 which is in electrical communication with the circuit board 36. Connecting the fuel tank to the engine is fuel line 26. Circuit board 36 provides electrical current to conductors 32 which terminate, internally of fuel tank 24, at electromagnet or solenoid 30. The code entered on keypad 22 is examined by the circuit board 36 and determined if it is the proper code. Once the code is determined to be proper or improper, signal line carries the appropriate control to illuminate keypad 22. The polarity of the current on conductors 32 causes a magnetized core stopper 28 to reciprocate within the solenoid 30 between open and closed positions. For example, if the driver enters the PIN code improperly, circuit board 36 will not apply current to conductors 32; thereby preventing solenoid 30 from generating a magnetic force. If the entry is proper, then the circuit board 36 applies current to conductors 32 such that solenoid 30 generates a magnetic force of opposite direction, which causes the stopper 28 to disengage the end of fuel line 26 and allows fuel to flow to the engine.
The device of the instant invention, may additionally be fashioned with a manual "ON-OFF" switch (not shown) allowing the driver of the car to immediately disable the vehicle. This is most effective if the driver is a victim of a car-jacking. When forced to exit the vehicle by a car-jacker, the driver may throw the manual switch to render the car inoperable within a few feet of travel. The manual switch may be inconspicuously located within the interior of the car (e.g., on the steering wheel, or on the side of the seat) so that the driver may access it as they leave the car.
The instant invention also provides security if a larcenist manages to by-pass the PIN code entry (i.e., by chance, enters the correct code), by including in circuit board 36 a remote controlled override system. The remote controlled override system includes a receiver 16 for receiving a signal 14 transmitted from a law enforcement vehicle 12. FIGS. 3 and 4 show the remote control system used to transmit the signal 14. Mounted in the law enforcement vehicle 12 is the remote control keypad 44. The remote keypad 44 is as accessible to the pilot, or co-pilot of the law enforcement vehicle 12, as is the remaining equipment (i.e., steering wheel 54, two-way radio 56, dashboard gauges 42, etc.). Remote keypad 44 has an "ON-OFF" switch 46, and a "TRANSMIT STOP" button 52. The law enforcement personnel, upon receipt of a transmission via two-way radio 56 that the car 10 has been stolen, may disable the car 10 using the remote keypad 44 as discussed hereinafter. The law enforcement personnel identifies the car 10 by physical markings (make, model, year) and by license plate number, and submits the information to a resource center (e.g., a dispatcher) via the two-way radio 56. The dispatcher relays two separate codes to the law enforcement personnel. The first code represents the physical identification, and the second code represents the registered information. Upon receipt of these codes, the law enforcement personnel turns on the remote control keypad 44, enters the first code via keypad section 48, enters the second code via keypad section 50, and depresses the button 52. A system override signal 14 is then transmitted from the transmitter 18 to a receiver 16. Once the circuit board 36 receives the signal 14 via receiver 16, the circuit board 36 applies current on conductors 32 so that the stopper 28 is forced into engagement (its closed position) with the fuel line 26. The engine will ultimately fail due to the lack of fuel and the car 10 will come to stop, allowing the law enforcement personnel to apprehend the culprits.
Additionally, the remote control keypad 44 in law enforcement vehicle 12 may optionally be fashioned with a display to collect the transmissions activating the shut off device of car (or cars) 10. Such display merely provides a "policing" of the law enforcement personnel to forgo a prankish quiet night on the beat, that is, keeping the law enforcement personnel from randomly and arbitrarily shutting off a car for no apparent reason.
The device of the present invention provides a cost effective maintenance system for preventing auto theft, substantially gives the owner of a vehicle an increased peace of mind knowing that the property is secure, and ultimately will reduce insurance premiums because the device will offer some protection against damage to person and property. It is to be understood that only the preferred embodiment has been shown and described and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit and scope of the invention are desired to be protected.

Just what every girl dreams of: a remote control, a red dress, and a promise of certain destruction in the event of infidelity.
infidelity is "a way of taking control and not letting the woman leave them; to not have it be her decision."
Are we talking about a single act of infidelity, or is it someone who has always done this and just got nailed this time?
c.1400, "want of faith, unbelief in religion; false belief, paganism;" also (early 15c.) "unfaithfulness or disloyalty to a person" (originally to a sovereign, by 16c. to a lover or spouse), from French infidélité, from Latin infidelitatem (nominative infidelitas) "unfaithfulness, faithlessness," noun of quality from infidelis (see infidel).

Author information
Charlotte Mosley lives in Paris and has worked as a publisher and journalist. She is the editor of Love from Nancy, The Letters of Nancy Mitford, The Letters of Nancy Mitford and Evelyn Waugh and The Mitfords, Letters Between Six Sisters.
Editorial reviews
The first collection of Nancy Mitford's letters - which, like those of her British literary contemporaries (Evelyn Waugh, Harold Acton, Cyril Connolly, et. al), reflect a wit and style that never quite mask an underlying anguish at a world changed too much. Born in 1904 and dying in Paris in 1973, Mitford was a diligent correspondent who left behind more than a thousand letters. This collection (edited by her niece), spanning more than 60 years and a hundred correspondents, includes not only letters that provide an epistolary history of Mitford's life but also those that illuminate her relationship with her famous peers and equally famous - or, as often, notorious - sisters: Jessica, author of The American Way of Death; Unity, admirer of Hitler; and Diana, wife of British fascist Sir Oswald Mosley. Like her friend Anthony Powell's Dance to the Music of Time, Mitford's letters are written to or about that brilliant between-the-wars-generation that connected and reconnected in the company of interesting people in stylish milieus like the British embassy in Paris; Chatsworth, the ducal home of Mitford's youngest sister; and the Guinness's Irish castle. Many names here will be unfamiliar - and the need to consult footnotes is an irritant - but what makes the reading worthwhile are letters like the one in which Mitford relates Evelyn Waugh's answer when asked how he reconciled being so horrible with being a Christian. "He replied rather sadly that were he not a Christian he would be even more horrible." Mitford writes with great wit and plucky panache - making the best of an often unhappy personal life - about her writing, her friends, and contemporary events: the bombing raids in wartime London, Dior's "New Look," the 1968 riots in Paris, etc. A welcome addition to literary history that poignantly recalls the glittering youth and not-so-bright decline and fall of all those "bright young things" whom Mitford and Waugh wrote about so well elsewhere.

Bilingual education - Educational programs that use two languages as the media of instruction. The teacher develops English skills while teaching content in the native language.
Bilingual Education Act of 1968 - Passed during an era of growing immigration and the Civil Rights Movement, this act provided federal funding to encourage local school districts to try approaches incorporating native-language instruction.
Developmental bilingual education - Programs that foster parallel learning in two languages. Bilingual instructors teach academic subjects in the students' primary language. This enhances students' confidence and subject-matter comprehension - although according to critics, it interferes with their acquisition of English. Its objective is to create bilingual students. This approach is often used with K-6 students.
Equal Educational Opportunity Act of 1974 - This act of Congress endorsed the principle of the Lau v. Nichols decision: that leaving limited English-proficiency students to "sink or swim" in an English-only program made "a mockery of public education."
English as a Second Language (ESL) - A program in which students attend one or more classes to learn to speak and write in English and sometimes go over material studied in other classes. All of the students' other classes are conducted in English. ESL is a component of virtually all transitional and maintenance programs in the U.S.
Language immersion - Programs where teachers use "sheltered English," also known as "alternate immersion," which is a simplified vocabulary and sentence structure to teach school subjects. Teachers may also use the "structured immersion" method of teaching in English: the teacher understands the native language and students may speak it to the teacher, but the teacher generally answers only in English.
Language submersion - Programs where the course material is taught only in the dominant language of the country, e.g., English in the United States, without special concern for student comprehension. Also called the "sink or swim" approach.
Lau v. Nichols - The 1974 Supreme Court decision that required schools to take "affirmative steps" to overcome language barriers impeding children's access to the curriculum.
Limited English proficiency (LEP) students - Students who demonstrate lower English comprehension, verbal and written skills than other students in their age group. In 1997, LEP students accounted for five percent of all public school students. The rate of growth in the number of LEP students is two and a half times that of the general school population.
Plyler v. Doe - The 1982 Supreme Court decision that struck down a Texas law limiting access to public education for children who could prove legal residency or full tuition. The decision supports all children's access to free public education.
Transitional bilingual education - A program that teaches academic subjects in the students' primary language but progressively uses more English. As the students' English-language proficiency increases, the primary language is dropped. This method seeks to place students in English classrooms more rapidly than maintenance or developmental approaches. It is the most common method used in the U.S.

On their wayback to Camelot from their yearly sojourn to their father's grave, Gwen and Sir Elyan, accompanied by several knights, come upon a nest of snakes. The knights are thrown from their horses, and Elyan shouts to his sister to ride for the trees and make her escape. Elyan takes the bitten knights, Leon and Percival, back to Camelot, but when Arthur discovers Gwen is missing, the Round Table must ride again to recover her. Leon and Percival are recovered, but Merlin and Gaius note that a snake bite that severe should have killed them. The fact that they live is a sign of magic, and they suspect Morgana.
Indeed, after dragging the queen on foot behind her horse, Morgana locks Gwen in a dark chamber with eerie screeches and foul smells. Any kindness Morgana shows, Gwen spurns, but as visions of her brother, her king, and Merlin appear and taunt her, she becomes less able to refuse the friendship of her once foe.
After a long day's ride, Arthur and his company make camp, and Leon and Percival are shocked from slumber by a singular dream of a black spire of rock in the middle of a vast desert. Arthur recognizes this image as the Dark Tower, a tale told to young knights as the strongest caution - no one is known to have come out of the tower alive. Merlin tells Arthur that he believes this vision was placed in their heads by Morgana, who is leading them into a trap. Arthur doesn't doubt this, but since Gwen is in peril, they must forge on.
The only way there is through the Impenetrable Forest, which confounds their sense of direction at every turn. At night, Merlin gets a visit from Queen Mab, the fairy ruler of all lands of anguish. She calls Merlin, Emrys, and tells him he must trust his mind's eye. Further, she says, the Dark Tower is not a physical place, but the heart of fear in each of us. She prophesies that the tower will claim the life of one of his cohort, but before Merlin can ask who will die, Mab is gone.
The following day, Merlin finds the true path through the forest, and the knights reach the tower. Sir Elyan, wracked with guilt at having let his sister be captured by Morgana, forges ahead of the party and finds Gwen alone in a simple chamber. Gwen tries to warn Elyan to leave, for she's guarded by a sword that is enchanted to fight to the death, but Elyan won't abandon his sister. He tricks the sword to fly out of a window, but before it does, it strikes a fatal blow, and Elyan dies in his sister's arms.
The party returns to Camelot, grateful for Gwen's return but mournful of Elyan's loss. But that night, as Gwen lies sleeping in Arthur's arms, she wakes and slips into the forest to meet Morgana. The mandrake roots in Gwen's prison chamber worked a powerful magic, and she now believes Morgana is the only person she can trust - all friends at Camelot are now deadly foes.

We all know being obese can increase your risk for a variety of health problems — everything from high blood pressure and heart disease to type 2 diabetes and stroke. What many people may not realize, however, is that obesity can also raise your chances of getting some kinds of cancer — including pancreatic cancer.
"Pancreatic cancer is the fifth-leading cause of cancer death, with a survival rate of less than 5 percent," says Margaret Lewin, MD, medical director of Cinergy Health and clinical assistant professor of medicine at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York. "Prevention is, therefore, key."
Research has shown people who are overweight as teens or young adults are at least twice as likely to develop pancreatic cancer as those who were never obese.
Pancreatic Cancer and Obesity
Not only that, obese individuals tend to get this type of cancer at earlier ages than thinner people, says Dr. Lewin. Even those who gain weight later in life are not immune to added danger, as obesity at an older age significantly decreases the rate of survival in people who have cancer of the pancreas.
Location of fat is also critical. People who carry most of their extra weight in their midsections (abdomen, chest, and shoulders) are 70 percent more likely to develop pancreatic cancer, with research showing the higher a woman's waist-to-hip ratio, the greater the risk.
Why Does Obesity Raise Pancreatic Cancer Risk?
"It is well known that obese people — especially those with a high proportion of abdominal fat — are less sensitive to insulin than people of normal weight," says Lewin. "In other words, as a person gains weight, more and more insulin must be produced and circulated in order to keep blood sugars normal. This 'hyperinsulinemia' may contribute to the creation of pancreatic cancer cells and more rapid progression of the cancer." Obesity also tends to decrease immune function, she adds, which can decrease the body's ability to fight off the cancer.
Making Lifestyle Changes to Reduce Pancreatic Cancer Risk
With about two-thirds of adults in the United States being designated overweight or obese, it's easy to forget what a "normal" weight looks like. However, shedding extra pounds is crucial in reducing the risk of pancreatic cancer.
While there are a variety of methods doctors can use to measure the amount of a person's body fat, one popular, easy-to-use tool is the body mass index (BMI).
If it is determined you need to lose a few pounds (or more), a combination of moving more and eating less is key. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adults should get at least 2.5 hours a week of moderate-intensity exercise (for example, brisk walking) or work out vigorously for 1.25 hours a week (for example, jogging or running). In addition to cardio workouts, strength training should be done at least two days a week and cover all major muscle groups. For those already exercising who are still overweight, it may be necessary to spend more time to see weight-loss success.
While exercising more helps burn calories, many people also need to change their diet to lose weight. Portion sizes have ballooned out of control, so it's important to think about not just what you're eating, but also how much.
You can lower your risk for pancreatic cancer by maintaining a healthy weight. A few simple changes — adding a little more exercise and consuming a little less food — can make a big difference in your future health.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 9/9/12
Jeff Gordon never gave up. He promised his team - and his fans - that he wouldn't go down without a fight. And fight he and his No. 24 team did, with a second-place finish at Richmond International Raceway to snag a ticket to the 2012 NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup. With 12 points separating Gordon from 12th-place Kyle Busch entering the 26th and final race of the regular season, Gordon qualified his car second. He then led two of the first 10 laps of Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 before his car began to fade. Then, Gordon was haunted by gremlins. His ill-handling car developed brake issues. He then thought there was a vibration. And then the oil temperature shot up to 300 degrees as he dropped to 17th on Lap 120. Seven circuits later, Denny Hamlin put the No. 24 car one lap down. But then luck turned in Gordon's favor. During the fourth caution, the crew cut the chain on the car's sway bar in an effort to help Gordon's handling. He first appeared defeated while the...

Arguably, Toulouse, Clermont, and Castres are the only H-Cup calibre teams in the Top 14 who can post an all (nearly all) French squad and be competitive.
I would also argue that many of the foreign players on teams like Clermont, Castres, and Montpellier come from countries with little or no significant professional league.
When these teams sign players from GEO, ARG, FIJ, are they really poaching or hiring mercenaries? If so, it is in the same vein of other teams chock full of players from SANZAR and the Home Nations?

Michael Jackson had been prescribed so many toxic drugs in the past few months, the DEA is now helping LAPD investigate Michael's death and the doctors who prescribed the medications.
According to sources at TMZ, Jackson would get prescriptions filled under alias names like Omar Arnold and Jack London in order to keep his prescription drug use as private as possible.
One doctor would call the pharmacy and say Jackson was coming down to get Demerol, and the pharmacy would then fill the prescription, leaving the patient's name blank!
LAPD and the DEA are now working together to track down the source of the medications. The federal agency will reportedly interview Jackson's string of doctors to try to discover how he was able to get hold of drugs including Demerol and morphine.
A spokesperson for the DEA says, "We routinely offer assistance to any agency regarding the Federal Controlled Substance act. However at this time we have nothing further to comment about the death of Michael Jackson."
So tragic! Do you think the doctors who prescribed the medications should be held responsible for his death? Tell us your thoughts!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — After handing the New York Knicks their first loss of the season, the Memphis Grizzlies now have the NBA's best record.
Grizzlies hand Knicks first loss, 105-95
Zach Randolph had 20 points and 15 rebounds, Marc Gasol added 24 points and the Grizzlies beat the Knicks 105-95 Friday night, ending New York's season-opening eight-game winning streak.
Memphis used a big third-quarter run to increase its lead to 21 points and the advantage dipped into single digits just once in the fourth.
The Grizzlies (7-1) have now beaten the defending champion Miami Heat, the reigning Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder, and the previously undefeated Knicks — all by double digits — this week.
"We are trying to make a statement," said Memphis guard Mike Conley, who scored 16 points and had eight assists. "We are making a statement that we can play with anybody on any given night."
Carmelo Anthony scored 20 points for New York, which was trying to start 7-0 for the first time since the 1993-94 season — when it reached the NBA Finals. Raymond Felton had 18 points and Rasheed Wallace added 13 on 6-for-10 shooting.
The game got away from New York in the third quarter, when the Knicks seemed to lose their composure during Memphis' rally, complaining about calls and drawing technical — including one on Knicks coach Mike Woodson.
"Our guys are competitive. They want to win," Woodson said. "We are on a six-game winning streak. We didn't want that streak to break. But it did, so we have to start a new streak."
The Knicks shot 51 percent for the game, but Memphis had 12 offensive rebounds, leading to a 22-12 advantage in second-chance points.
"We just couldn't rebound the ball," Knicks point guard Jason Kidd said. "We knew that coming in here, we couldn't give those guys second opportunities because they would capitalize on it."
