Video: NM officer charged for deploying TASER
Investigators reviewed video from the lapel cameras of officers involved in a May 31 drug bust
Las Cruces Sun-News
ALBUQUERQUE — An Albuquerque police officer is facing battery charges for using a stun gun on one suspect and punching another after he had surrendered.
Police Chief Ray Schultz said Thursday the charges were filed after investigators reviewed video from the lapel cameras of officers involved in a May 31 drug bust. He announced the charges the same time he publicly released the video.

He asked me to sit on his face, but i didnt, for 2 reasons, one, i had just pooped like 20 mins before sex, and two, this could be my future husband. so i skipped on sitting.
did you know that snuggie is the perfect anti-freak out aid for stoners? it weighs you down so you can't go anywhere. just sit there and enjoy the movie, that's right.
At beerfest, hammered, going to try to not get naked in public but i cant make any promises
Not sure why I sent you a picture of a black bear last night but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Fantastic. I'm pretty cold, tired, dirty, and hungry, but that comes with an adventurous weekend. Who needs a wallet or keys anyway? I could totally be homeless.
I'll send you the picture of you double fisting vodka bottles, grinding one guy and making out with another... Every girl wanted to be you.. You make me so proud!
It's great when the cashier at the liquor store asks "weren't you wearing those clothes yesterday"
I also was calling every child by their name "Birthcontrol" - straight people are fun
Katie told the cabby "when the boat docks I'm getting off with you"
And have you ever tried to explain a hickey to your own grandmother?
I found him in his pink and white boxer out side the dorm hall and the only thing he said was "it wouldn't let me in"
I seriously had alll four of your knuckles bruised into my arm
Btw when I was saying "fuck you" I meant it like "be quiet beautiful princess"
I walked out in my coconut bra, and that's when it all went downhill.

Darwin Fish, A True Prophet Of God
by Bruce Gerencser cross posted from his blog The Life and Times of Bruce Gerencser Recently, a man by the name of Wayne K sent me an email that contained a dare. He wrote:Now be cautioned because there is a cultish group in America whose website called atruechurch(dot)info – they may add your name to a list of false teachers? – probably not. I dare you write about them. I thought, who the hell is atruechurch.info? Why should I fear them? Are they an assassination squad that whacks atheists and other nonbelievers?

Even though this type of legalism and Quiverfull goes on in most churches this Evangelical author seems to think it's limited to the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist and Fundamentalists in general.

Riding the Zamboni – Friday, November 19th (early edition)
Nov 19, 2010, 11:02 PM EDT
Let's take a look at the first five of Friday's nine games. The rest of the contests will be summarized tomorrow morning.
Since this is just a regular season game, I don't expect a ton of controversy to come from the league (or the game's officials) decision to allow Chris Kunitz's goal. Thankfully, the game didn't rest on that choice, as Jussi Jokinen tied the game up 4-4 before the Penguins won the shootout thanks to goals by Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang.
Crosby had one goal and three assists plus the shorthanded tally, Jokinen scored two goals and two assists, Kunitz had two goals and Evgeni Malkin assisted on three goals in that game.
Things came full circle for Ondrej Pavelec tonight, as he shut out the team he played against during that crazy collapsing incident. It was an important win for the collective psyche of the Thrashers, too, after coach Craig Ramsay called out the team after a recent loss.
It seems like the Sabres are starting to put things together a bit now, while the Kings are now on a troubling three game losing streak. Ryan Miller seems like he's rounding back into form after coming back from injury. Miller stopped 34 out of 36 shots to help Buffalo beat Los Angeles tonight, as the Sabres scored three unanswered goals to come back from a 2-1 deficit.
The Minnesota Wild are on a bit of a hot streak now – winning six out of their last eight games – but beating the Red Wings in Detroit (they're now 8-1-2 at home) might be the highlight of their season so far. Jose Theodore had a great night, stopping 41 out of 44 shots while John Madden scored the game winner with 42 seconds left in overtime.
Things were going pretty badly for the Blues, but the struggling Senators were just the right tonic. The Blues went back to what made them a surprise elite team in October: great defense (backup goalie Ty Conklin faced only 20 shots, stopping 18) and scoring by committee (five different players scored their goals). Really, St. Louis won the game in an 86 second span in which they scored three times.

Should not have watched ME.. Totally pissed off...
My vote goes to one and only Archu.. I am proud of this girl.. She was a good bahu, good wife for her selfish husband and good daughter...
Hats off to Archu today... She took slap and took anger from her husband and whose sake?? Her husband's happiness...
Guys today my post might look a complete negative one... Yes I did not like this ME...
Abhi bhi main gusse se haanf rahi hoon.. Total credit goes to one of my favourite Manav...
Savita Aai - I never wanted to say something like this to a mother.. But today to Savita Aai for slapping Archana... She knows Archana stays in the house and still left Sachin in the house and went out.. Wow what a mother.. Poor Sachu... Savita Aai will be happy if Sachu cries and cries out of hunger but still Archu should not touch him and she will roaming outside... God knows what work she has outside.. Her first priority was Sachin.. She snatched this poor baby from his mother.. What is she doing now?? Only teaching him bad words, not feeding him at the right time and also leaving alone a small baby.. Wow great...
Manav - Wow this guy is great.. Today he came across as a person who was using his wife only to make his mom happy and he be happy...
In one scene he was so happy with his wife that he said he believes his wife's belief and in the next he dragged her to the room and gave left, right and centre.. Why??? He wanted her to stand and watch her parents and relatives getting insulted... He remembered Doc's words now..
Precap looks one of the worst for me.. I pity Archu.. She was only listening and crying and great Manav believed his mom

U.S. Sen. Tim Johnson says he is trying to put on hold the proposed closure of the Veterans Affairs facilities in Hot Springs.
Johnson says he has added language to a VA funding bill that would pause the proposed realignment of the facilities in western South Dakota's Black Hills.
The VA has served veterans in Hot Springs for more than a century but now wants to move some services to Rapid City. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has already chosen a Nebraska company to study its plan to reconfigure its health care system.
Johnson says the language added to the bill prohibits the use of money from the fiscal year that starts in October to close VA hospitals and conduct environmental assessments.

Ben Garvin's photojournalism accompanies New York Times' Pulitzer
This photo of Stephanie Smith by Ben Garvin appeared on the New York Times front page in October, as well as nytimes.com
We last checked in on the story of Stephanie Smith in December, when the former children's dance instructor from Cold Spring filed a $100 million lawsuit against Minnesota-based Cargill in U.S. District Court.
Smith was horribly sickened in 2007 after eating a hamburger tainted by E.coli bacteria that was traced to a Cargill plant; her kidneys failed, she suffered seizures, doctors kept her in a medically-induced coma for months while they treated her, and she remains in a wheelchair.
Smith's story was part of a New York Times investigation in the meatpacking industry, and today it was announced that the newspaper won a Pulitzer prize for its work. There's another Minnesota tie to the award: Pioneer Press photojournalist Ben Garvin took the photographs of Smith that graced the NYT's front page and inside story.
Garvin tells MinnPost's David Brauer that he doesn't get to share in the Pulitzer glory, but he's proud to have his name associated with the paper's investigative work.

Voters in Lewisville, TX, rejected a plan that would have enacted a half-cent sales tax to build an arena for the Stars and Mavericks if Dallas refuses to do so. Lewisville leaders said they would abandon efforts to lure the teams if the measure failed. Ronnie Carter, son of Mavericks owner Donald, said the team may look to Irving or Arlington as possible alternatives if negotiations with Dallas fail. Officials from both the Stars and Mavericks said recent discussions by Dallas City officials regarding a renovation of Reunion Arena are "fruitless." Stars President Jim Lites: "It banishes us to mediocrity forever" (Christopher Ave, FORT FORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, 1/22).
New Buccaneer Owner Malcom Glazer said he will "absolutely not" help pay for the construction of a new facility for his team. Glazer: "We have done our part financially. We bought the team. We paid a big price. And we need now the cooperation of the community for this stadium. ... The stadium is something the community has to do" (Tom Jackson, TAMPA TRIBUNE, 1/21). The Tampa Sports Authority will form a special committee to "research the financing and design of stadiums built in recent years." Authority Chair Chuck Davis will name committee members next week, and hopes to deliver recommendations in six months. Davis said he believes a new stadium could be built in three years (Kevin Walker, TAMPA TRIBUNE, 1/21).
The City of Toronto's land use committee unanimously approved a motion to "fast-track" the building of a new arena for the Raptors. Construction is scheduled to begin by the end of the year. The team hopes to move into the facility by the '97- '98 season (TORONTO STAR, 1/20).... Orange County officials said they hope to reach an agreement with the Angels "in the next several months" on a 30-year lease, "which may include the construction of a new baseball stadium." Anaheim city officials also said the departure of the Rams will help the city's financial picture, because of the team's commitment to pay off a $33M bond for Anaheim Stadium improvements (Greg Hernandez, L.A. TIMES, 1/22).... The DC City Council's Economic Development Committee will hold a public hearing Wednesday on the planned 23,000-seat downtown arena. Mayor Marion Barry and other city officials will travel to Cleveland today to look at Gund Arena (WASHINGTON TIMES, 1/23)....The Rams' three or four home games at Busch Stadium throws "a slight curve into the Cardinals plans for grass in time for the '96 baseball season" (ST. LOUIS POST- DISPATCH, 1/21).

A guest post from the University's HELPS program:
Fall is a great time to make healthy lifestyle changes that will carry you through into next year. By making changes now, you will create good habits for the holiday season and the upcoming winter months. With the changing of the seasons and the start of the school year comes a renewed mindset. Maybe your goal is to eat a healthier diet, stop smoking, lose weight or walk three miles a day. Whatever your goal, the Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (TLC) program can help you reach it.
What is HELPS TLC? HELPS TLC is a medically directed, professionally supervised program designed to help individuals develop a healthy and active lifestyle using exercise and education.
What will you receive? Individualized assessments, therapies and follow-up; dietary intake is assessed through computer-analyzed food records; supervised exercise sessions at our conveniently located monitored exercise facility; weekly small group sessions will be held on campus in Reynolds Gym 210 on Mondays from 12:30-1:30 pm.
What is the cost? The cost will be covered by Wake Forest.
Who will be helping you? The HELPS TLC staff consists of an exercise physiologist, registered nutritionist and health psychologist who work together to teach you behavioral strategies for the management of physical activity and eating.
We are currently taking applications for the next group which will start in September.
For more information or to sign up, please contact Andrea Cox via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 336-758-5853. Space is limited. Sign up today.]]>

A guest post from the University's Parking and Transportation Office:
Improvements to Parking Lot E are scheduled to begin soon, requiring the temporary closing of the lot, which is situated behind Z. Smith Reynolds Library.
The lot closed on July 27 for renovation that will improve safety, access and traffic flow while also adding 26 spaces for staff and faculty. The number of spaces will increase from 49 to 75. The lot will be re-opened before students arrive in August.
Circulation in the lot will be improved by eliminating multiple entries and creating a single entry and exit for the lot near the stop sign at the intersection of Gulley Drive and Jasper Memory Lane. Any trees affected by the improvements to Lot E will be moved to another location or replaced.
Parking options for faculty and staff during this closure include Lot J, which will have ample parking during this time period. Lot J is located behind residence halls South and Collins.
Meanwhile, construction begins on a new residence hall for first-year students at former Lot H, located at the intersection of Jasper Memory Lane and Wingate Road. Additional information will be communicated by the Parking and Transportation Office by the first of August, explaining what steps are being implemented to offset construction's impact to parking on our campus and community members.
We appreciate your patience.
Any questions regarding parking may be directed to the Parking and Transportation Office by calling 758-PARK (7275) or sending a message to email@example.com.]]>
Ann Gibbs, associate dean in the School of Law, served as the School of Law liaison for the WakeUnited Campaign last year. Gibbs has been involved with United Way for a number of years as part of the Leadership Circle and the Women's Leadership Council. She decided to get involved with United Way initially because of her passion for strengthening public education.
"I have volunteered in our local public schools for years, and strongly believe in the United Way's mission to increase our public high school graduation rates. With the support of United Way, we have seen remarkably positive results in this area," says Gibbs. "In addition to strengthening our community's educational mission, I also like the United Way's focus on financial stability and health. With this three-pronged focus on education, financial stability, and health, the United Way continues to assist in making our community more vibrant and healthy for everyone."
Her enthusiasm for the WakeUnited campaign is contagious. "We are privileged to work on a beautiful campus with the many benefits associated with interacting with fascinating and energetic students, faculty and staff," says Gibbs. "As part of the Wake Forest family, I consider it my duty to contribute to WakeUnited in order to have an impact on the larger community beyond the Wake Forest gates."]]>

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
28 Jun 2012 17:20 GMT | Asia Pacific, China, Mongolia
Polls have closed in Mongolia for the country's seventh parliamentary election.
Thursday's election pitted the 90-year-old Mongolian People's Party (MPP) against the Mongolian Democratic Party (MDP), formed when the country broke away from the Soviet Union in 1990, as well as 11 other parties.The northeast Asian country had the world's fastest-growing economy last year, but a third of its people live below the poverty line.
Both main political parties promise to ensure that the mining boom benefits more Mongolians. Competition for the 76 seats in the legislature - the State Great Khural - is fierce. Some analysts expect neither of the main parties to gain a majority, forcing a coalition either with each other, as happened in 2008, or with another party.A polling station in Sergelen county centre, in Tuv Province, was set up in the local primary school, and forthe first time used electronic voting machines that promise to speed up the counting process and prevent accusations ofinaccuracy which contributed to violence following elections in 2008.Nomadic voteMongolian herder Suren Tsevelmaa on Thursday started her day as any other, milking a cow from her small herd tomake butter and cheese, with her young grandson playing nearby.
But then the 65-year-old put on her best traditional brocade gown, and set off across the grassland to the localcounty seat to cast her vote.It was a common sight across the vast country of just three million people, many of them still nomadic herders.Like many herders who rely on the country's vast steppe for survival, Tsevelmaa's vote was strongly swayed by pledges to control the country's booming mining sector. "I think they shouldn't let there be so much mining. I hear a lot about digging all over the grasslands. I want them to keep this country safe and protect the natural environment," she said.Voter priorities
The latest polls suggest the MDP has sneaked ahead of the centre-left MPP, but public frustration has increasedthe popularity of third party the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP), lead by former President NambarEnkhbayar, who was arrested in April on corruption charges.Social equality, corruption and how to share the profits from mining are top priority for many voters.Mongolia's economy grew 17.3 per cent in 2011, outpacing all in Asia, thanks mainly to foreign investment in hugemining projects.But many feel that the majority of Mongolians are not benefitting enough, while some think foreign firms havebeen given too much control over the exploitation of huge new reserves, mainly serving energy-hungry neighbour China."We get a lot of information on the internet about Mongolian mineral resources being sold to foreigners,particularly to the Chinese, and young Mongolians are getting very angry about it," Enkhtuvshin Uranbileg, a 20-year-old student, said."I want this problem to be solved in a way that benefits Mongolians."
Prime Minister Sukhbaatar Batbold, of the MPP, also turned out at his local polling station, a converted basketball court, in a well-to-do area of the capital, Ulan Bator. Results are expected in the early hours of Friday morning.
Growing gap between wealthy and poor on the minds of many voters as country prepares to elect new parliament.

Campaigns and causes planning to include TV ads in their election-cycle budgets can expect especially stiff, expensive competition for the airwaves: Political ads on television are forecast to increase by 16% and reach a record $4.4 billion in spending for the 2016 presidential race, reports The Washington Post, citing the latest Kantar Media research. Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has already reserved $8 million in TV ads that could begin as early as November, according to The Post story. There are several reasons that TV ad space is in such demand, despite the growth in digital politicking and social platforms, and the decline in traditional television viewing. For one thing, the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision has opened the way for unlimited spending by corporations, unions and outside groups, and primary and battleground states are seeing the impact on TV ad spending, analysts tell The Washington Post. Also, while TV viewing by 18- to 34-year-olds is down, the most reliable, older voters still turn to television for news and entertainment, according to research. As a result of the rush to TV, some primary state TV stations are rejecting ad reservations until closer to the primaries to maximize pricing, according to political analysts interviewed.

For Media Clout, Rand Twitter Ads Target Reporters
Twitter may not be the political heavyweight in social media, with 300 million users compared to Facebook's 1.4 billion, but Republican Sen. Rand Paul, one of the crowd of GOP 2016 presidential hopefuls, is hoping to enlarge his media footprint with the Twitter ad platform. How? He's directly targeting messages to certain journalists, using a list "uploaded into Twitter's ad platform of journalists," according to a story in The Hill, an influential Washington-based political website. Reporter David McCabe quotes Paul's Chief Digital Strategist Vincent Harris: "We have even created lists of journalists in early primary states, working with the communications team. And it's a really good cheap, effective, targeted way to get a piece of content out there in front of people that you want to see it--journalists who are going to help with their megaphone push a piece of content out further." Rand Paul is following in the footsteps of President Obama's reelection campaign in this respect; Obama digital strategists also used Twitter to try to influence political junkies and journalists.

Facebook Emerging As 2016 Digital Ad Heavyweight
Facebook is being declared "the single most important tool of the digital campaign" in 2016 by a recent National Journal magazine article. The National Journal reports that 2016 presidential contenders as disparate as Hillary Clinton and Ben Carson, Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders are already investing in the social network. And the reasons for Facebook's expanded clout, beyond its 190 million American users, are new features unveiled since the 2012 presidential campaign, including more customized and sophisticated splicing of the American electorate and the ability to serve video to those thinly targeted sets of people. That means "the emotional impact of television delivered at an almost atomized, individual level," as the article points out. Facebook not only has a wealth of information about its members--identity, age, gender, location, passions--its new partnerships with big data firms, like Acxiom, allow it to layer on behavioral information, such as shopping habits. Political operatives are already modeling the universes of likely Iowa caucus-goers and potential New Hampshire primary voters and uploading those models into Facebook to match them with Facebook profiles of actual voters in those states, per the article. "We are guaranteeing you will reach the right person at the right time and eliminate the waste that you might find in e-mail marketing, certainly in TV advertising," Eric Laurence, who is in charge of political advertising on Facebook told the National Journal. Cost factors are definitely driving Facebook interest. Vincent Harris, Paul's chief digital strategist, is quoted: "It's so cheap. I am getting Facebook video views for one cent a view—one cent a view! ... It's a fundraising tool, it's a persuasion tool, and it's a [get-out-the-vote] tool. It's a way to organize, too." And there's an attractive ROI potential, too. Facebook likes to point out that the 2013 campaign of Terry McAuliffe for Virginia governor recovered 58% of its Facebook acquisition costs by linking new e-mail subscribers to online contribution forms.

Brain Science Finds Mail Bests Digital Marketing
The latest brain science explains why political campaigns will continue to rely on direct mail to win donors and voters, even as digital and social political marketing grab headlines. In fact, direct mail beats or ties digital advertising in almost all the ways political marketers seek to woo support, per a recent Temple University neuromarketing study sponsored by the U.S. Postal Service Inspector General's office. As reported by Direct Marketing News, the study, which showed a mix of 40 e-mail ads and postcards to laboratory subjects, found that a digital approach bested snail mail in only one area: grabbing attention. However, postcards outperformed e-mail in five other areas: holding engagement longer, generating a greater emotional reaction, generating speedier recall, and creating subconscious desire and perceived value. And the two methods tied in three categories: engagement in terms of the amount of information absorbed, memory accuracy, and willingness to spend. The Office of Inspector General, with 31% of USPS revenues tied to advertising mail, clearly is hoping the findings will inspire commercial marketers to make greater use of mail's power. But the findings apply to political marketers as well. Among the OIG suggestions are increased marketer testing of mail creative, sequencing, and digital print technology, such as augmented reality and QR codes.

Marketing Pro to 2016 Hopefuls: Sell Pithy Specifics
Political campaigns spend big dollars on voter-targeted direct and digital marketing campaigns, so the opinions of direct marketing pros, like well-known and outspoken consultant and author Denny Hatch, are worth noting. Hatch recently wrote an article for Target Marketing magazine, advising the crowded field of 2016 presidential candidates on how they can ease the decision-making nightmare for voters. First, he urges them to avoid BOMFOG, a term gleaned from a former candidate-client's own speech content description: Brotherhood of Man Under the Fatherhood of God. Hatch cites BOMFOG as an illustration of the general political tendency to "bloviate, equivocate, pontificate, obviate and flat-out lie" while avoiding specifics. But when you have over 20 primary candidates, Republican and Democrat, that kind of tactic will leave voters either grabbing at televised one-liners and gaffes, or confused and turned-off. Instead, Hatch suggests that, as in the business world, each candidate should create a pithy, personal resume for voters. That political resume would consist of a CV (99 words maximum about family, net worth, education and career); a Preamble about basic philosophy of governance (249 words maximum); and a series of Issue Stances (99 words each). Hatch provides his own examples of issue opinions, which readers won't necessarily accept, but the idea is to offer a manifesto that is specific, punchy and printed (no BOMFOG evaporating at the end of the speech or media sound bite). Issues include hot topics such as energy, foreign policy, climate change, health care, immigration, jobs, national security, taxes, and more. Hatch taps into marketing basics with his ideas. "Specifics sell. Generalities do not," he notes, quoting marketing freelancer Andrew J. Byrne. By creating a punchy resume, each candidate can focus on his or her USP (Unique Selling Proposition), Hatch suggests. See: http://www.targetmarketingmag.com/article/selling-president-2016-bomfog/

Why the Fad for One-Letter Logos in 2016 Race?
Barack Obama rode his hip, single-letter "O" logo into the White House, and some 2016 presidential hopefuls may hope that emulating the one-letter logo idea will lead to the same political brand success. For example, as a recent Washington Post newspaper story reports, Republican Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's campaign committee is playing with a "J" logo, while Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has launched an active, rightward-pointing "H," former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) is using "O'M" instead of spelling his name out on signs, and Republican Rick Perry has unveiled a "P" logo. Why the popularity of single-letter logos? Blame the rise of digital politicking, suggests the Post. Single letters are optimized for smartphones, whether for a call-to-action button or a social media avatar. Single letters just fit better into the square icons of social media compared with long names. It's no accident that Facebook's logo is a lowercase "f," Pinterest uses a "P," and Tumblr has a lowercase "t." But the fad for bold letter logos also may reflect the pressure to stand out in a crowded field of presidential hopefuls, adds the Post story. A strong campaign logo, like a strong corporate brand logo, can set a candidate apart from the competition and quickly help voters recall a candidate's message and brand attributes. For logo examples, go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/06/04/the-rise-of-the-single-letter-political-logos/

Want to Tap Millennial Politics? Go to Facebook
If they want to get on the Millennial generation's political radar, campaigns need to go to Facebook. A recent Mashable article cites the evidence of social media's grip on Millennial politics with the latest Pew Research Center study, which found that 61% of Millennials, those born between 1981 to 1996, said they get political news from Facebook at least once a week. That social media preference easily outpaced the 37% of political input from local TV, the preferred medium of Baby Boomers, those born between 1946 to 1964. In fact, Millennials and Baby Boomers are mirror opposites in terms of preferred political news sources, with Boomers getting 60% of their political news from local TV and only 39% from Facebook. The study, in which Pew surveyed 3,000 people, also found that the Millennial age cohort tends to recognize fewer news outlets, with less awareness of half of the 36 sources that Pew asked about when compared to the Boomers and Generation X group (those born between 1965 and 1980). The report also polled Millennials on how much they trust different news outlets. Among the most recognized and trusted, CNN led (trusted by 60%, distrusted by 16%, with 19% in the middle). Next in trust were the news divisions of ABC, NBC, and CBS. Lowest trust went to digital sources like BuzzFeed and conservative media like the Rush Limbaugh Show. Among the top social media players, Facebook outdistanced Twitter, with just 14% of Millennials saying they got political news via tweets.

A $4.6 million offer for a crypt atop Marilyn Monroe's tomb was rescinded on Monday by an eBay bidder in Japan, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The auction, which started August 14 with an opening bid of $500,000, shot up within just a few days to several million dollars, closing yesterday with a hefty $4.6 million bid. Eleven other bidders in the $4.5 million range were notified yesterday that the winning bid had been canceled and were offered the opportunity to put in a second bid for the prize.
Widow Elsie Poncher -- whose husband Richard Poncher is currently entombed in the crypt -- told the Times that she is selling the site to pay off the mortgage on her Beverly Hills home. Though she told the Times that her husband once said, "If I croak, if you don't put me upside down over Marilyn, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life," she plans to move her husband's remains to an adjacent crypt that had been intended for her; when she dies, she plans to be cremated.
The Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park cemetery is the final resting place for many Hollywood celebrities including Truman Capote, Natalie Wood, Minnie Ripperton, Merv Griffin, Eva Gabor, Peggy Lee, Farrah Fawcett, and Dean Martin, to name a few.
