South Carolina Dog Bites & Animal Attacks
Dog bite laws vary from one state to another. If you have been bitten by a dog in South Carolina, the law is strongly on your side. You may be able to recover the cost of your medical bills and other losses. An attorney can help you build a strong case so you can get the compensation you deserve.
What Does South Carolina Law Say About Dog Bites?
Dog owners are strictly liable for any injuries or damages their dogs cause in South Carolina. It does not matter if the dog had ever bitten before, or the owner had reason to believe the dog might be violent. The law also covers non-bite injuries, such as scratches or push-downs.
Of course, there are some caveats. The victim must not have been trespassing at the time of the attack. He or she must have been on public property or legally on private property, including the dog owner's property. Strict liability also does not generally apply if the victim has provoked an attack, such as by teasing or tormenting the dog.
Building Your Case
If you decide to pursue a lawsuit, your attorney may ask for:
- Photographs of your injuries, taken as soon as possible after the attack
- Medical records describing your injuries and treatment
- Copies of your medical bills
- Torn or bloodied clothing, shoes, or other items that may have been damaged during the attack
You may also need to give a deposition. This is a statement you give under oath. It is your chance to explain what happened.
How Long Do You Have to File a Claim?
South Carolina law gives you three years from the date of the dog bite to file a claim against the dog's owner. (This is known as the statute of limitations.) If you and your South Carolina personal injury lawyer are unable to negotiate a settlement with the dog's owner (or his or her insurance company), you should consider filing a lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out.
If your injury claim is for less than $7,500, you would file your personal injury lawsuit in the South Carolina magistrate claims court that has jurisdiction. For injury claims worth more than $7,500, you would file your lawsuit in the appropriate South Carolina circuit court.

Events Stoke Debate over Obama's Worldview
Zachary Goldfarb, Washington Post
The Associated Press
The week began with the breaking of the siege of Mount Sinjar in Iraq, thanks to U.S. bombing runs, and ended with the public beheading of American journalist James Foley in Syria and renewed Russian aggression in Ukraine. The juxtaposition of military success and public human failure has caused a sense of whiplash around President Obama's foreign policy and further stoked the debate about his worldview.

L'ultima modifica è del 03 novembre 2012 alle ore 02:22.
According to the polls there's never been a presidential race in America in which the outcome was this uncertain. Yesterday pollsters registered mere 0.1 percent advantage for President Obama. The advantage is so slim that there's no way to make an accurate prediction. In Washington attention has moved from polls on which way the electorate will vote to who voters believe will win. In this case, the difference between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney is strangely enormous, no less then 20 points. Obama's supporters are relieved, because in the past surveys on who voters will vote for have identified the correct winner in just 69 percent of the elections, while surveys on who voters expect to win (regardless of personal preference) have been right 81 percent of the time.
The vast difference that exists between these two surveys suggests that American voters keep personal opinion separate from their sense of reality—choice and necessity. They express their disappointment for a somewhat apathetic presidency, but they aren't convinced that the alternative offered by Mitt Romney is realistic. That's the true portrait of this electoral campaign: Romney has called on Americans by appealing to the ideal convictions, free initiative and Americans' uniqueness, while Obama has defended his pragmatism with introspective and often uninspired tones, betting that he can depict his adversary as inadequate to deal with the real problems facing the country. In other words, putting the very pledge that he himself adopted—elected on the wave of an emotional slogan of "hope" and "change"—on Romney. They're good sentiments, but not solid strategic strengths. Obama had to pay for these very slogans in light of reality four years ago amid the labyrinth of the Beltway, the cynical capital of American politics.
On the eve of the vote, realism tends to prevail over ideology, as when a devastating hurricane demonstrates the utility of a present, efficient government and pushes rhetoric on a tax-devouring leviathan backstage. In fact, over the last few days polls have registered a marginal consensus for the current president. But the logic of the electoral campaign hasn't changed, and the reference to Romney as an "Italian-style" fiscal destiny for the U.S. is fully a part of this counterbalancing of rhetoric and realism. It's a reference that mustn't be undervalued.
As often happens during electoral campaigns, the view of Romney is the other side of a half-truth. It's true that America's fiscal future looks the same as that of southern Europe. The U.S. is on a fiscal trajectory that is unsustainable because of a structural divide between taxes and spending policy. This divide will only get worse as the population ages.
The Congressional Budget Office forecasts that net debt will rise to 200 percent of GDP by 2037 and is, therefore, moving along an explosive path. The structural nature of the fiscal deficit is deeply problematic because even when the U.S. economy pulls back close to full employment the deficit will force the country to look for foreign loans. Once foreign debt drains earnings, transferring them abroad, the economy will slow down and the country will wind up in a budget trap of payments like the one Europe is facing. It's difficult to predict a fiscal crisis, but during the four years of European crisis, the warning alarms for a "Greek" destiny for the U.S. have rung more than once in Washington. And this is where the half-truth ends. The rest is far less intuitive.
The fiscal emergency touches upon two political totems: taxes for Republicans and, for the Democrats, welfare. Last year, Social Security and health bills accounted for half of the federal government's key spending. They are constantly on the rise, while tax earnings have remained constant for 50 years, ranging between 17 percent and 19 percent of GDP. The only time these earnings were higher, thanks to taxes on the nouveau riche and the technological boom, was between 1997 and 2001. Then Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan inflated the economy to the benefit of government budgets, then George W. Bush's tax cuts and military spending created new imbalances that only grew worse once the financial crisis exploded.
Both Romney and Obama know the situation is unsustainable, but they don't have any incentive to find common ground. Romney can ride high on Republican ideology: he wants to cut taxes for the rich and increase military spending for a $7 trillion impact on the deficit over 10 years. Obama can accuse the Republicans of having sabotaged every accord established over the past four years. In reality, both candidates have been sitting on their hands for over a year now, waiting to see who wins the election in order to negotiate from what they hope will prove a stronger position.
Whoever wins, 2013 will be a crucial year for America's fiscal future. Tuesday's vote will tell us what the new power dynamics of Washington will look like, but without some quick agreements, the ratings agencies may downgrade U.S. debt even further. America's ability to supply the rest of the world with dependable, safe bonds to invest in would no longer to keep pace with growth in the global economy. The role of the financial reserves would have to be covered by other currencies. The American singularity, that exorbitant privilege of printing cash for the rest of the world, might just come to sudden death. In part this depends on the destiny of the euro, which in turn depends in Italy's destiny. The somewhat contemptuous reference to southern Europe masks one of the most important economic issues of upcoming years.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty does not have the same national profile as the household names who have been the guest speakers at the annual Prescott Bush Awards Dinner.
Those speaking at the Connecticut GOP's biggest annual fundraiser over the years have been a Who's Who at the highest levels of the national Republican Party: John McCain, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Jack Kemp, Bob Dole, Karl Rove, and Dick Cheney in his pre-Vice Presidential days. No introduction needed for any of them.
Pawlenty, who succeeded Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura in January 2003, is speaking at this year's dinner at a still-to-be-determined hotel in lower Fairfield County on June 27. He was picked because he has been mentioned as a possible runningmate for GOP candidate John McCain and has growing name recognition among party insiders.
But Pawlenty is also becoming known for a quote he made about his wife, Mary, which has been reprinted around the country and ended up in U.S. News and World Report in a round-up of the top quotes of the week.
Pawlenty was speaking on WCCO-AM radio when he said, "I have a wife who genuinely loves to fish. I mean, she will take the lead and ask me to go out fishing, and joyfully comes here.'' He added, "She loves football, she'll go to hockey games and, I jokingly say, 'Now, if I could only get her to have sex with me.' ''
Pawlenty has said it was a joke, but others have said it might not have been the best thing to say for someone who might be thinking of running for vice president.
"He obviously has a good sense of humor about life. I hope his wife does, too,'' state GOP chairman Chris Healy said when asked about the quote. "If that helps us sell tickets, God bless him.''

Behold, my breakfast!
It's a tweak on the Flat Belly Diet Chocolate Chip Cherry Waffle that was featured on Good Morning America. I didn't have any frozen cherries but I did have bananas, so I sliced them atop a toasted Nutrigrain waffle. Then I added my dairy allowance, 1/2 cup of fat-free ricotta, which I mixed with a packet of Splenda French Vanilla. Then on top I shaved a half ounce of super dark chocolate. I heated the whole shebang in the microwave for 30 seconds to get everything all good and melty.
The whole thing has 318 calories, 7 grams of fat and 13 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.

"There's got to be something other than kidnapping people" "Maybe in America — maybe in America"
A new trailer has arrived online for the Tom Hanks-starring Captain Phillips, and it looks like Hanks is once again stranded in the middle of nowhere with seemingly no hope of rescue. While the first trailer mainly focused on the well known story of the captain whose cargo ship was boarded by Somali pirates in 2009, this trailer takes a closer look at the characters, in particular the pirate captain played by newcomer Barkhad Abdi. While we're excited about the fact that the real people who are depicted in the movie are multi-dimensional, it does look like audiences will be in for a rough ride when the movie opens on October 11th.

I-80 now open from Sacramento to Davis
SACRAMENTO — Northern California's main interstate has reopened while law enforcement authorities search a neighborhood in the state capital for an armed carjacker.
A series of carjackings and the suspect's shooting at officers Friday morning led authorities to close a section of Interstate 80 in both directions just west of Sacramento.
The closure brought to a standstill one of the essential freeway systems in Northern California and the region's main out-of-state corridor, beginning at 6 a.m. during the early commute and continuing into early afternoon.
California Highway Patrol Officer Bryan Konvalin says the freeway was partially reopening shortly after 12:30 p.m. The CHP expected it to be fully open within the hour.
Authorities believe the gunman opened fire at a commercial trucking business in West Sacramento and crashed a stolen getaway vehicle during a police chase on Interstate 80, which runs from the East Coast into Northern California.
No one was injured in the shooting or crash, but officers closed a stretch of the highway as they searched for a man they said was wearing a long trench coat-style jacket.
About 4-1/2 hours after the closure, there were reports of another carjacking in West Sacramento, near the California Highway Patrol academy. Police were searching for a brown Ford F-150 pickup truck and say the suspect may be the same person they were seeking.
The incident began around 6 a.m. when officers responded to reports of shots being fired near the trucking business, a report that was quickly followed by a carjacking. Officers spotted the stolen vehicle and began pursuing it, with the driver firing shots at officers.
The vehicle crashed in the center median of the Yolo Causeway, a three-mile-long elevated section of the interstate that runs over the flood basin. The road remained closed, effectively shutting the main freeway corridor east of the San Francisco Bay area.
Commuter Charles Mueller was heading west on the freeway on his way to work just as police pulled up to the crashed stolen vehicle. "I got all spun up," he said, recalling the squads of officers pulling alongside him and taking aim at the vehicle with assault-style weapons.
Mueller said he was able to drive through the scene before the freeway was shut down. Having lived in Los Angeles, Mueller said he has come to see these types of large-scale road closures as a necessary evil.
"I grew up in Southern California, if you know what I mean," he said. "I figured once there's police activity, there's no escaping."
Stalled commuters were directed to stay inside and lock their doors until officers could turn them around.
The California Highway Patrol launched all its emergency signs in the region, trying to alert drivers to the freeway closure and direct traffic to alternative routes, although even those were clogged to the point of being nearly impassable.
"We've pulled officers from the entire region to get them turned around," CHP spokesman Adrian Quintero said. "But we also have to be patient and slow. We don't want more collisions."
Quintero said it's not clear when the freeway might reopen because the manhunt spanned such a wide area. In addition to Special Weapons and Tactics squads, authorities were using K-9 units and a helicopter to try to locate the gunman.
Associated Press writer Hannah Dreier contributed to this report.
This traffic map highlights an alternate route to get to or from the Bay Area while the Yolo causeway remains closed. Be advised the alternate roads are backed up. If you need to get to the airport today from the Auburn area, you can take Baseline Road in Roseville out to Highway 99 and then head south to I-5.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The best offense in club history started at the top in 2009.
Chone Figgins emerged as one of the best leadoff hitters in baseball last season, leading the American League in walks (101), finishing second in times on base (285) and runs scored (114) and ranking among the leaders in on-base percentage (.395) as well.
The Angels figure to score over 200 runs fewer this season than last year's club-record total (883) – and that started at the top as well.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia has tried seven different players in the leadoff spot this season (Erick Aybar, Maicer Izturis, Bobby Abreu, Peter Bourjos, Howie Kendrick, Alberto Callaspo and Reggie Willits). Going into Friday's game, they had produced a collective batting average of .263, an on-base percentage of .327 (both 16th in the majors) and 97 runs scored (18th).
But ask Scioscia about his club's needs this off-season and he says next year's leadoff hitter is already here.
"I think there are guys in that red jersey who are going to bat leadoff for us next year, yes," he said. "The table-setting aspect of our club has been poor.
"It might not end up being one guy (next season). It might be a combination of guys. It might be more matching up. .... I think we have the pieces to get back to the level we need to be at."
Scioscia said much the same things in the spring about replacing Figgins. But Izturis was unable to stay healthy enough to be a reliable part of any table-setting "combination." Aybar regressed badly from his .312 average in 2009 season (batting in the bottom third of the lineup primarily) and lost the top spot entirely in mid-season.
"I think at times he was doing some things we need from a player in that table-setting role but the consistency just wasn't there," Scioscia said of Aybar. "I think his upside is still to hit in front of the middle of the lineup. But he struggled with some things and I think it affected his defense (Aybar has made 21 errors this season).
"Right now, we just want him to hit in a spot in the lineup where he can just hit."
Bourjos is getting an extended audition at leadoff as this season ends. While his defense marks him as someone the Angels will want in their every-day lineup next season, he is batting just .202 in his first 49 big-league games. It would take a big leap of faith to pencil him as the primary leadoff man in 2011.
"I think on the offensive side we have to be patient," Scioscia said of Bourjos. "If he is going to be our man in center field, there would be an opportunity at the top of the lineup to match him up as the leadoff hitter at times. But he may have to work his way into that role and it might take a little experience.
"There's a long way from where he is right now to what his potential says he will be. ... I think he's shown he's a terrific major-league center fielder and a functional piece (of the offense). How it fits into the whole package will be evaluated as the winter evolves."
Major League Baseball and the players' union agreed on a few rules changes that should move up the pace of off-season moves.
Most significantly, the exclusive window for teams to negotiate with their own free agents was cut to five days following the conclusion of the World Series (from 15 days previously) and the formality of filing for free agency has been eliminated. The dates for tendering contracts (Dec. 2), offering arbitration to eligible players (Nov. 23) and for players to accept or reject arbitration offers (Nov. 3) have all been moved up by approximately a week. All of those dates now arrive before teams convene for the annual Winter Meetings (scheduled to begin on Dec. 6 this year).
"We'll see how it unfolds," Angels GM Tony Reagins said of the changes. "I don't think it's going to affect how we do business."
The changes were made in response to the union's discontent over the way the free-agent market played out over the past few winters with numerous veteran free agents left out in the cold until late in the off-season (or completely).
Angels right-hander Ervin Santana (17-9, 3.83) is scheduled to start against Rangers left-hander C.J. Wilson (14-8, 3.35). Game time is 5:05 p.m. and it will be broadcast on Fox Sports West, KLAA/830 AM and KWKW/1330 AM in Spanish.

When talking politics in polite company, it's sometimes best to steer>"/>
Hungry for more Top 10 Lists? Check out our 'Best Of' Mobile App
When talking politics in polite company, it's sometimes best to steer clear of the Middle East, which can be confusing and infuriating no matter where you stand. But there's no danger in bringing up the region's food, since pretty much everyone can agree on hummus.
Of course, we had to go and make things slightly more contentious by anointing the best Seattle restaurants specializing in grilled meats, pita and other popular dishes. Here, our picks for the top Middle Eastern restaurants in the city, with the finalists arbitrarily ordered and the names followed by blurbs compiled by Erin Thompson. Let the debate begin.
Israeli chef George Rached (who is not the famed pro wrestler, but really does call himself "Gorgeous George") spends his days and nights in the kitchen of his shoebox restaurant, grilling up peppery lamb shawarma and pureeing hummus into the texture of thick custard. What he comes up with is the best hummus you'll find anywhere in the city, but this doesn't leave him too fatigued to occasionally serenade one of his regulars or walk the dining room to check in on his many guests. Dinner is priced upscale, but worth it, and there are some deals at lunch.
9. Café Munir
Tucked away in a far corner north of Ballard, serving a cuisine that's not too common in Seattle, it's a hard road for Cafe Munir. But even those who can't find Lebanon on a map will find beauty in its simple Mediterranean cuisine. From hummus (in three varieties) to koshary, Cafe Munir stays true to its roots while establishing itself as an excellent neighborhood restaurant. The early seating flows noisily with family dining, yet in the late evening the atmosphere grows quietly romantic under the intricately beautiful light fixtures.
Meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie is called by any number of names: Doner kebab, gyros, Tarna if you're in Armenia. But on The Ave, it's shawarma at Shawarma King. The small but lavishly decorated dining room--all done up in lipstick red, with an open kitchen--draws crowds for its vibrantly seasoned sandwiches, salads, hummus, and some of the best falafel in the city. Beef, lamb and chicken shawarma are also served. Ask for fries in your sammie for some salty crispness. The hookah in the front window is just for show.
7. Marrakesh
Enter a room that resembles a tent, recline on regal pillows, and watch course after luscious course emerge from the hidden kitchen. Couscous, eaten with the hands, is the humble star of Moroccan cuisine; here you can get it topped with chicken, lamb, or vegetables. The b'steeya royale is a must: A buttery pastry (not unlike phyllo) is wrapped around delicately spiced chicken and toasted almonds. The plate is ringed with powdered sugar, begging the question: sweet or savory?
Bistro Turkuaz is a long, yellow breadbox ending in a blood-red wall, behind which is a magical kitchen that produces some of the most nuanced Turkish cuisine in town. At the top of Union Street on 34th Avenue in Madrona, this family-run spot is quietly fantastic. Hummus and pita and grape leaves might all be considered casual Mediterranean staples, but not here. The pace is slow, the mood mellow, and the dishes are very thoughtfully prepared. A meze platter is decked out with hummus and baba ghanouj, triangles of pita, and tightly rolled grape leaves, with all the flavors very nicely balanced. Make sure to try the acuka, a blend of red peppers and walnuts, rich with garlic and lemon. There are kebabs among the entrées, but the best dishes are the appetizers. And afterward, dessert has to be a piece of baklava, stuffed with pistachios and house-made chocolate.
5. Harissa Mediterranean Cuisine
This charming cafe serves a mash-up of Mediterranean mainstays but also mixes it up a bit by offering naan instead of the ubiquitous pita with its selection of spreads. Entrees are a selection of meats on a stick, Lebanese stews (chicken with tomatoes and potatoes; a veggie option laden with broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots), and pasta dishes. Dinner prices run between $10 and $18, with the cost of a mid-day meal dropping by about half.
4. Petra Mediterranean Cuisine
There are lots of reasons to go to Petra Mediterranean Bistro, not least among them the stunning pictures of Jordan's ancient city, for which this elegant Belltown establishment is named. But, really, you need no other reason than the hummus--in particular the "mosabaha" hummus (there are three kinds). For one thing, this dish is so generously portioned that it can serve as a meal in itself. You get not only an overflowing plate of hummus but a pile of warm pita, in marked contrast to a lot of other joints that go skimpy on the bread, leaving you with either a spoon or your fingers to scoop up the rest. More important, this hummus is a decadent treat--for the most part as smooth as cream, but with whole chickpeas adding texture. Parsley lends a note of bright flavor. The pièce de résistance, though, is the fried pine nuts. As the Italians learned long ago, pine nuts make anything taste good. Frying them: even better.
3. Ephesus
If you order the lamb kebabs, you'll get a good idea of how to fall in love with a region. The skewered lamb pieces could have come straight from the kitchen of a stocky Turkish grandmother. Spiked with onion, garlic, lemon, cinnamon, and who knows what else, the lamb is tender, savory, and effusing flavor. Ephesus also prepares chicken, beef, and various seafood kebabs.
2. Cafe Paloma
This intimate little nook is maybe the size of a big garage, and that's counting the tiny patio, a perfectly charming place to sit on a sunny day. Even though the atmosphere is casual, everything about Café Paloma exudes understated class without succumbing to the exasperating pretension that plagues so many of downtown's pricier establishments. More important, Paloma is one of those rare places where you can open the menu, close your eyes, point at something, and order it with confidence. Every single item is a study in the kind of balanced flavors that can only be consistently attained with careful attention. The panini sandwiches contain perfectly proportioned layers of filling; it's just the right amount not to be overwhelmed by the thick foccacia, and it's hard not to resist the urge to lick the last bits of hummus and red-pepper dip from the meze platter.
1. Mawadda Cafe
Mawadda customers might think they're choosing what to eat when they decide between, say, falafel and shawarma, but the dishes are just details: They all end up eating garlic. Sweet, stinky garlic is everywhere at Mawadda, and it's pretty fantastic, whether in a grilled meat's marinade or a sauce that's a creamy magnet for French fries. Food here is cooked to order, giving patrons plenty of time to enjoy the counter-service restaurant's friendly neighborhood atmosphere.

The Guardian has agreed to a request from Sun managing editor Richard Caseby that it correct all the articles it has published since July this year which repeat the claim that the News of the World deleted Milly Dowler's voicemail's creating false hope for her parents that she was alive.
The Met Police revealed last week that they now believe the messages may have been automatically deleted in the days after Milly's disappearance in 2002 and that they do not believe News of the World journalists were responsible. News International still accepts that it was responsible for hacking the messages of the missing schoolgirl.
Today The Guardian repeated a correction first published on 13 December referring to the false-hope claim.
It has also added a footnote to 37 stories online which 'contain either the error or a reference to it".
The full story list is contained in the online version of the correction which runs to more than 700 words.
Meanwhile, Private Eye today sheds more light on the row which led Guardian journalist Nick Davies to refuse to appear on a Newnight panel with Caseby to discuss the mistake in his original Milly Dowler story phone-hacking story.
Private Eye reports (and Press Gazette understands this is true) that last month Caseby posted Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger a toilet roll along with the note: 'I hear Marina Hyde's turd landed on your desk. Well you can use this to wipe her arse."
This followed Hyde falsely reporting on The Guardian front page that a Sun journalist had doorstepped a Leveson Inquiry lawyer. She said this was tantamount to 'casually defecating on his lordship's desk while doing a thumbs-up sign". The Guardian later published an apology.
According to Private Eye it was this incident which prompted Rusbridger to decline to let Davies appear opposite Caseby.
Press Gazette asked The Guardian earlier this week why Nick Davies had refused to appear on the same Newsnight panel as Caseby. A spokesman said: 'Nick appeared on Newsnight under terms agreed with the BBC."

In 1993, a film crew from Yorkshire Television in the U.K. - led by producer Nick Grey and director Tim Tate - went to Omaha, Nebraska in the U.S.A. to make a documentary about an alleged pedophile ring.
The film was funded by the Discovery Channel and it was originally to be shown in the U.K. and Ireland as part of Yorkshire Television's documentary series "First Tuesday".
In Omaha, the Yorkshire TV crew discovered the machinations of a vast child trafficking network that provided children to the wealthy and political establishment for molestation and blackmail.
Shortly before Conspiracy of Silence was to be screened on "First Tuesday", The Discovery Channel inexplicably withdrew it's support for the film, and to this day the documentary remains "unaired".
An unpolished, yet coherent, rough cut of that documentary has been made available to author and researcher Nick Bryant who has shared this with the world online.
On Tuesday, May 3rd 1994, this program was scheduled to air on the Discovery Channel.
Influential members of Congress applied pressure to the cable industry to stop the airing of the program and to destroy all copies.
It was already listed nation-wide in the April 30th-May 6th edition of TV Guide and newspaper supplements.
The Discovery Channel and Yorkshire Television were reimbursed for the 1/4 to 1/2 million dollars production costs.
Nick Grey, the producer of Conspiracy of Silence, leaked a rough copy of this film to formber FBI agent Ted Gunderson and Senator John DeCamp, who made it available online more than 10 years ago. Recently, researcher Nick Bryant obtained another rough copy which had been being prepared for airing in Ireland back in 1994. It is longer and of better quality than the leaked copy from Gunderson and DeCamp.
The Franklin child prostitution ring allegations were a series of high-profile accusations and legal actions surrounding an alleged child sex ring serving prominent citizens of Omaha, Nebraska, as well as high-level U.S. politicians. The scandal centered around the actions of Lawrence E. King, a prominent member of the Republican Party[1][2] and former official at the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union in Omaha. King was eventually arrested and convicted of embezzlement charges.
The allegations were investigated by a special Nebraska state legislative committee and the FBI. A 1990 grand jury report concluded the allegations amounted to a "carefully crafted hoax," although the alleged perpetrators of said hoax were never officially identified. However, the special Nebraska legislative committee assigned to investigate the allegations criticized the grand juryΓΓé¼Γäós report after finding no clear evidence that conclusively established what was the truth and what was a hoax. Allegations of a coverup, including claims of a connection between the Franklin case and a Washington, D.C. male prostitution ring, have circulated since.
King eventually served 10 years of a 15-year prison sentence for embezzlement and fraud. He was later served with a $1M default judgment after he failed to appear in court to respond to civil charges of kidnapping and child abuse.
More allegations of a coverup came to light when a 56-minute documentary film about King's alleged child prostitution ring titled Conspiracy of Silence,[15] produced in 1993 by Yorkshire Television, surfaced on the Internet. The film features an interview with former CIA director William Colby, numerous members of the Nebraska state legislature including John DeCamp, and more than one alleged victim in the case.
In 2009, a new book by investigative journalist Nick Bryant was published about the scandal and alleged coverup. The book is titled: The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal.
A Carefully Crafted Hoax is a feature investigative documentary that examines child prostitution and sexual exploitation in America by focusing on the well-documented story of Johnny Gosch, a paperboy adbucted in Des Moines, Iowa, and its connection to a notorious pedophile network based in Nebraska.
The shocking disclosures begin at an old brick warehouse in a seedy section of Washington, DC, progressing through the $40 million dollar bust-out of a nondescript Midwestern credit union and then back to a DC party-house that was wired for blackmail. A tragic tale that tears at your heart and rips your soul, A Carefully Crafted Hoax proves that child-pandering was covered up from the utmost pinnacle of power - using the CIA, FBI, Secret Service and a corrupt judicial process.
A Carefully Crafted Hoax
By combining original footage, news clips, lost scenes from a suppressed documentary, Conspiracy of Silence, telephone recordings, classified documents, and interviews with the victims who are now adults, A Carefully Crafted Hoax builds on the mountain of existing evidence to present a portrait of Johnny, Paul, Alisha and the rest of the throwaway kids whose lives were fatefully intertwined in the disturbing world of child prostitution.
The film seeks to understand what happened to Johnny and elucidate Alisha's fate, and look at Boys Town's role in the national pandering network. What has become of King's pedophile ring? Who is collecting these kids off our streets and selling them? How can we stop it?
- Noreen Gosch, Mother of Johnny Gosch
- Lawrence King, Former President of Franklin Credit Union and accused ringleader of a national pedophile network

- If I remember correctly, Kishimoto-sensei once said that he likes drawing spirals in an interview. That could explain their ubiquity. A possible connection between the Uzumaki and the Uchiha ancestor is highly unlikely and wouldn't explain the many spirals in Konoha. A connection between the Uzumaki and the Senju is far more likely, but still dubious, as the Senju were from the Land of Fire and the Uzumaki from the Land of Whirlpools. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 19:34, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

COVE The MVP award may have gone to a North player, but it was the South that won the weekends basketball war at the Rising Star Classic.
Pendletons Drew Larson earned the top player honors for the Norths team Saturday following the two-day series that features the top upcoming talent in Eastern Oregon.
It was the South, though, that displayed the offensive fireworks that propelled it to two straight nights 90-point scoring. On Saturday, the South won handily, 90-65. Fridays score was closer, with the South winning 95-84.
The South jumped out to a 21-10 lead in the opening six minutes, sparked by seven points from Grant Unions Ryan Courtney and four from Unions Jordi Steenstra.
A defensive stand pulled the North within 22-20 two minutes later, capped by two free throws from Weston-McEwens Zach Johnson, but thats as close as the game would ever get.
The Souths stiff defense, coupled with a potent fast-breaking offense, gave it a 48-37 halftime lead.
A fast start in the second half all but eliminated the Norths chances of getting back into the game.
Less than two minutes into the half, Powder Valleys Brody Turner stole the ball at the top of the key and raced to the other end for a pull-up jumper, giving the South a formidable 59-39 edge.
With 4:20 left in the game, Unions Lucas Maples hit back-to-back baskets on a bank shot and a fastbreak layup to put the South ahead 85-55.
The South had a balanced attack, led for the second straight game by Courtney, who had 17 points and added four steals.
Turner scored 14 points and a game-high six steals, Ontarios Tyler Sweet added 12 points, and Maples and Bakers Wade Joseph put in 11 points apiece.
Johnson paced the North with 14 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. Heppners Stefan Matheny scored 13 points, and Larson added 10 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.
North 32 28 65
South 48 42 90
North Burright 3 1-2 7, Harrison 0 4-4 4, Sampson 1 1-4 4, Thomas 2 3-4 7, Wyland, Matheny 4 4-4 13, Scott, Johnson 5 4-11 14, McCabe 1 4-5 6, Larson 3 4-8 10. Totals: 19 25-42 65.
South Mullins 2 0-0 5, Maples 5 0-0 11, Sweet 4 3-3 12, Schuft 2 3-5 7, Courtney 7 2-3 17, Turner 6 2-3 14, Heffernan 2 0-1 4, Steenstra 2 2-3 6, Joseph 5 1-2 11, Grove 1 1-2 3. Totals: 36 14-24 90.

North girls win behind second half surge, again
For the second straight night, the North girls squad acted the part of the predator in a game of cat and mouse. The mouse, of course, being the South team.
The role didnt change Saturday as the North fell behind 32-26 only to surge in the second half for a 70-63 win.
I thought the South came out and played super intense. They were going after every loose ball and scrapping hard, North coach Matt Vogler said. At halftime, I felt we were fortunate to be down by only six points.
The difference, for both games, came down to Norths experience, South coach Allen Bingham said.
Our team is very young. We had only two seniors on our roster and they had seven, he said.
But Bingham did see tremendous improvement from the night before. On Friday, the North team erased a 41-34 deficit and went on a 20-2 run en route to a 79-56 win.
We played harder than last night. I thought we grew a lot, he said.
Free throws were also key, with the North making 29-of-41 compared to the Souths 15-of-38.
Pilot Rocks Amica Vogler sparked the Norths second-half surge with 13 of her team-high 15 points, including a 9-of-12 performance from the free throw line.
She really sparked us from the free throw line, Matt Vogler said.
Another Pilot Rock player who turned in a solid performance, especially on the defensive side, was Megan Mitchell. Mitchell had five of the Norths 22 steals. Condons Jennifer snyder added four steals for the North.
Other top North performers included South Wasco Countys Chelsey Hauser with 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Heppners Shelley Rietman with 11 points.
The South squad was paced by four double-digit scorers starting with Burns Chelsea Ross, who had 16 points. Coves Kelcie Robinson added 14 points, nine rebounds and two blocks and was named series MVP. Lacey Nobles of Enterprise and Tiffany Rasmussen of Imbler scored 12 points each.
Other area standouts included Powder Valleys Amanda Bingham, a three-year Rising Star participant, who had five steals and was named defensive player of the series.
Imblers Meghan Campbell had seven rebounds, Rasmussen added five rebounds and three steals, and Liz Woody grabbed five rebounds.
North 26 44 70
South 32 31 63
North Jamieson 3 2-4 8, Snyder 1 3-6 5, Vogler 3 9-12 15, McElligott 1 1-2 4, Cleaver 1 0-5 2, Rietman 4 3-6 11, Matteson 1 3-5 5, Mitchell 0 3-4 3, Hauser 5 2-3 12, Davis 1 3-4 5. Totals: 20 29-41 70.
South Campbell, Woody 1 0-0 2, Travis 0 1-4 1, Scheele 0 3-7 3, Ross 7 2-5 16, Wilson, Bingham 0 3-10 3, Robinson 5 4-8 14, Nobles 6 0-2 12, Rasmussen 5 2-2 12. Totals: 24 15-38 63.

About My Ebay Site : I try to specialize in 2 things: 1. A good selection of 50 states. 2. A good percentage of graphics plates. Besides these, I try to list a few unusual plates, environmental plates, vanities, some older plates and a few foreign plates. I also try to list some a wide array of quality so that there is a good selection of not only types but price ranges. So for the new collector, for the person using plates for art, or for the serious collector, I do try to give something for everyone. And I make it a point to reduce shipping per plate to a bare minimum for you—so hence I try to make my site a 1 stop shop for many of you. If you are buying bulk, I try to accommodate you even if I have to hold your plates for 2-3 months so that you can save on shipping.Attention : New for 2011 : I send all my mail with USPS. In January 2011, the post office added new padded flat rate envelopes . I can get 5-6 license plates in an envelope for $5 U.S ., $13 for Canada , and $15 for International orders. If plates are smaller or flat I can get up to 8 plates. Cheaper and safer with padding! This can really save you shipping $$$!! However, if the plate is longer than 12", like most older plates (1950s and older), these plates will have to be sent separately, or in a flat rate box. So I can't combine shipping for them. You can also see my other items on ebay (1. Go to the top to the right of Search and Hit ADVANCED SEARCH. 2. Go the left and hit "By Seller". 3. Put Seller's ID in: lpgolfer619).

Type (Dealer, Handicap, etc.)? Certain numbering? Email me what you collect and your email address. I will keep an eye open, and email you when I find something, and I will try to list it for you . I hope all of you have a great 2011! Thanks for coming to my site! Hope you have some winning bids!

Roy Haynes Hits The Video Game World, Grand Theft Auto Style
The hot new video game right now is Grand Theft Auto IV. It has sold more than 6 million copies and made $500 million in sales in its first week.
Perhaps jazz was part of the reason behind the success of the game?
The new game has a special feature to enhance play: 16 in-game radio stations featuring a wide variety of musical choices--rock, electronic and classic jazz. And who better to talk up these classic tunes by the likes of John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Charlie Parker--than the living link between all of the greats--83-year-old jazz legend Roy Haynes?
Haynes makes a guest appearance on Grand Theft Auto IV as the DJ of JNR 108.5 - "Jazz Nation Radio, a station that plays classic jazz sides' such as Chet Baker's "Let's Get Lost and Haynes' own "Snap Crackle.
"I travel all over the world performing this music, connecting with the audiences, Haynes said. "But this is an opportunity to connect with a different audience, in a different way.
"Jazz has always been about personal expression, but it's also about communication. This is an excellent opportunity to communicate this music to millions of young people, so I have been really excited about it!

Fort Worth District 21-year partnership with elementary school still going strong
March 11, 2013
FORT WORTH, Texas - Anticipation built as 98 fourth grade students were about to meet their Fort Worth District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pen pals for the first time at their Valentine's Day party.
As part of the Adopt-A-School program the District sponsors the party along with writing monthly pen pal letters to H.V. Helbing Elementary school students.
"One of our goals when we started the program was to provide our fourth grade students with a one-on-one relationship with an adult who can provide our students with a role model from the business world and to help build their self esteem," said Irma Morin, counselor, H.V. Helbing Elementary.
Since starting the program 21 years ago, Fort Worth team members have written letters to their pen pals discussing topics from their favorite school subject, to what they would like to be when they grow up. The program's purpose is to help the students increase their writing skills as they prepare for the new State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness test.
"I always look forward to writing my pen pal. I didn't think we would have so much in common and learn a lot from her too," said Destiny Garcia, fourth grade student.
H.V. Helbing, which is predominantly Hispanic, was "Recognized" last year which is the second highest rating under the Texas Education Agency's Academic Excellence Indicator System. According to Ebonie Graves, Adopt-a-School program coordinator, many of the students are learning English as a second language which can be very challenging.
Through the one-on-one communication, District team members encourage students to expand their writing skills by not only being creative but also focusing on grammar, spelling, and punctuation. The fourth grade students scored 88 percent on the writing portion of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) in 2011 compared to the state average which was 90 percent and continue to improve.
Corps' pen pal Kelsey Beck, from Real Estate Division said she has seen a significant difference in her student's writing abilities. "I can see she's gaining more confidence through our correspondence and growth of our friendship. My pen pal is doing well in writing because she enjoys not just because it's a class assignment," Beck said.
The District also volunteer as science fair judges as part of the USACE Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) initiative to increase awareness, build interest and provide hands-on activities in the subjects at a young age before they enter high school and college.
"Our outreach through our Adopt-a-School program is one of our most important and rewarding programs. We want to help make a difference by keeping the students focused and motivated to be future architects, engineers and leaders," said Col. Charles H. Klinge, Fort Worth District Commander.
"This program has formed lifelong bonds with previous H.V. Helbing students and Corps employees and we want to continue that tradition."

Earlier this week, we saw Colin Farrell realize he may not be the man he thought he was, in the first trailer for "Total Recall." The first look at the sci-fi remake had a ton of futuristic visuals, badass women and a bleach-blond John Cho, but we wanted a deeper take on what the movie has in store.
So MTV News turned to director Len Wiseman for the answers. Wiseman went into the details of the trailer and how it will reflect the finished film, scene-by-scene, and even shared some secrets from the set.
The first images from the trailer surprisingly give no sign of the remake's futuristic setting. Colin Farrell, as Doug Quaid, wakes up next to his wife (Kate Beckinsale) and slowly looks out onto his world. "We actually open up very intimately with Quaid, and then we step out and realize what world he lives in," Wiseman said. "I wanted to set the stage first for just his relationship and then get a sense of the world and what sort of environment he is in and oppressed by."
Once the plot begins to move forward, Quaid seeks meaning from Rekall, a company than can implant memories. Here, Wiseman saw an opportunity to pay homage to the original film. "Rekall, I wanted to set up some elements that were familiar — a bit of the chair, a bit of what I was excited about when I was a teenager, things that I had kept from that experience," he said.
At the same time, Wiseman wanted to add edgier elements to the familiar setting. "[We] set it up in a much more opium-den, slightly more sketchy version of this whole process," he said. "I wanted to have a little bit more danger. At its core, it's screwing with your brain chemistry. That cannot be a widely accepted thing."
The flashiest scene of the trailer comes after the police storm Rekall and attempt to arrest Quaid. In a brutally kinetic single shot, the camera literally flies around the room as Quaid dismantles the police force. Wiseman said he had always wanted to do a scene like that but only just found the opportunity with "Total Recall." "I needed to have the audience feel what Quaid was feeling. I wanted to set up a moment where you aren't given a chance to take a breath until it's over, just like he would."
The setup to capture that shot involved computer-operated cameras moving quickly around the set as Farrell repeatedly performed the fight choreography. "It was a very complicated shoot where Colin had to do the fight 22 times, actually, to get the thing right with all of the cameras," Wiseman said. "The cameras would move at 35 miles an hour that were on computer systems. It took two days. It was immensely fun, but it is 100 percent practical."
Though the trailer only shows a brief look at it, the fight scene between Beckinsale and Jessica Biel is one Wiseman felt was important to include. "I wanted to give a sense of how strong these female characters are," he said. "I want it to be the actual payoff of Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale going at it; you're not watching two stunt players that are carrying that name. It's actually Jessica and Kate just kicking either other's ass."
The trailer closes with a mind-bending shot of Quaid quickly shuffling through a series of faces in place of his own. Wiseman said he included the scene as a way of communicating the central idea of the movie. "I've always been attracted and intrigued by anything that brings into question, 'Who am I'? It's such an enticing story to me," he said. "That line right there is the basis of the movie. That line right there is the core of the movie."
Check out everything we've got on "Total Recall."

MIAMI — The Rockies' satisfaction over keeping closer Brian Fuentes on Thursday lasted only 32 minutes, emotion quickly muted by the Dodgers' acquisition of slugger Manny Ramirez.
Fuentes' presence in the clubhouse after the trading deadline showed the players the front office still has faith they can reach the playoffs. But the road back to the postseason grew more difficult to traverse with Ramirez landing in Los Angeles.
"Just because we didn't make a big move doesn't mean we aren't trying. I like our chances," Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said. "But obviously anytime you add Manny Ramirez to a lineup, it's better. They are going for it, too."
Ramirez has hit at least 20 home runs in 14 consecutive seasons, adding power to a Dodgers lineup that ranks 26th in runs scored. Los Angeles' bold stroke caught many by surprise, given its glut of outfielders.
"Manny is one of the greatest hitters of all time," Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said. "It will be interesting to see how all the pieces fit together."
Frustration was evident in O'Dowd's voice as he couldn't match the parts to acquire a fifth starter. The Nationals wanted Ian Stewart as the centerpiece for Tim Redding; the Mariners sought a top prospect — see Dexter Fowler — and wouldn't cover any of Jarrod Washburn's $10 million salary next season; and Cleveland's Paul Byrd had Colorado on his limited no-trade list.
"It's disappointing that we didn't get someone. But no starter was traded (Thursday)," O'Dowd pointed out.
The Rockies will revisit talks for Cincinnati's Josh Fogg. The Reds are reluctant to deal or waive him until Aaron Harang returns.
With Fuentes, O'Dowd never wavered from his demands. To consider moving the closer, he wanted a top young starter that could help this season and beyond. That deal never came close to materializing.
"No news is good news," Fuentes said. "I think we can win the division. But we are going to need help from everybody here and probably some guys who aren't here yet."
Starter Jeff Francis is expected to return Tuesday from the disabled list, and O'Dowd said that Triple-A left-hander Franklin Morales is a candidate to be called up if Valerio De Los Santos struggles Saturday. Morales has allowed just three runs in his past 18 2/3 innings.
"He had eight strikeouts and just two walks in his last outing," O'Dowd said. "He's making progress."
The Astros claimed Triple-A pitcher Alberto Arias on waivers, paying the Rockies $20,000 for his rights.

A $1 million skatepark approved by the Oceanside City Council in December will open Aug. 30, officials announced Friday.
The 22,700-square-foot park is on a city-owned parcel at the corner of Alex and Foussat roads just west of the drive-in movie theater. It includes several skating features, such as bowls, snake runs and a "street" area with banks, rails and ledges.

It was paid for with a $428,000 grant from the state Land and Water Conservation Fund, a $25,000 grant from the Tony Hawk Foundation and money from developer fees collected for park improvements.
City officials will hold a grand opening ceremony at 3 p.m. Aug. 30.

Tanzania is set to come up with a special bank for youth which is geared to address economic hardships the youth have been experiencing in the country.
Minister of Information, Culture, Sports and Youth, Dr Fenella Mukangara revealed this yesterday when responding to Nzega MP, Hamis Kigwangala, who moved a private motion asking the government to come up with a special programme to boost youth employment by establishing a youth loan fund in the country.
Dr Mukangara said: "We are in a very advanced stage of accomplishing this mission of establishing the bank."
The minister revealed that by June this year, the modality of the bank will be released to the public.
"We have already sourced a start-up capital of 15bn/-, as one of the important requirement for the establishment of the bank," the minister said, adding that ground works on the bank were underway, including picking a consultant for the proposed bank.
Dr Mukangara asserted that the bank will start is operations in a few years to come, so as to address key challenges facing youth in the country.
In her reaction on the matter, Minister for Labour and Employment, Gaudentia Kabaka said the youth fund has been present since 1994.
"I agree with the MP's motion of establishing the fund but, what is needed is for Tanzania's youth to be aggressive in sourcing employment," the minister stated.
She noted that there is an increasing wave of youth who prefer to sit jobless, sometimes playing pool tables during working hours.
"This is a very wrong perception, we cannot continue living like thing, it is high time for youth to embark into productive activities instead of just sitting around idly," she said.
Minister of State, Prime Minister's Office, Investment and Empowerment, Dr Mary Nagu said youth will have to be in groups so as to benefit from the proposed fund.
She said that the youth will not benefit from the government's allocated funds if they are not in the productive groups.
The minister also stated that the fund will be channeled to agriculture adding that youth should also know their responsibilities to be able to address challenges facing them.
Wrapping-up his motion, MP Kigwangala added that youth should change their mindsets and grab every opportunity and unleash their potentials.
"It is important for Tanzanian youth to change their mindsets and grab every opportunity that would enable them earn a living…. they need to be aggressive when it comes to employment," said Kigwangala.
He also asked the government to come up with a special programme that will make them embark into farming activities in their localities.
"We have a large chunk of arable land; let's give this land to our youth. We should not continue giving land to the so-called investors when we have millions of Tanzanian youth who are idle and unemployed," he said.

Columbia high school student dies of gunshot wound
Tuesday, March 13, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A Columbia high school student has died after being shot near a city park, and a suspect has been taken into custody.
Police said 17-year-old Deaudre Johnson died at a Columbia hospital around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, about 12 hours after he was shot in the upper body.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/zBBJrg ) a 19-year-old man was arrested at his Columbia home on suspicion of assault and other charges. Prosecutors were studying additional charges after Johnson died Tuesday morning.
Police don't believe that Johnson — a student at Douglass High School — was the intended target. Witnesses told investigators that the suspect had been arguing with another person who was standing next to Johnson when the shooting occurred.

Reading is fundamental, or why Dodgers played like clowns
U-T outdoors/horse racing writer Ed Zieralski was signed as a free agent by the Dodgers back in the day and spent three years in the minor league system.
He, like all Dodgers prospects, was given a copy of General Manager Al Campanis' book, "The Dodger Way to Play Baseball."
Zieralski says he no longer has the book. It can't be must-reading anymore, the way the Dodgers played the past two days. Reliever Kenley Jansen fell asleep Saturday with the tying run on third, and Everth Cabrera stole home, with the winning run also coming in when the ball got away.
The Dodgers committed five errors Sunday — it should have been six — leading to six unearned runs.
A quote from Walter O'Malley in a 2008 Ross Newhan story in the L.A. Times: "Al's book was a cornerstone of our success, as fundamentals always are, and that continuity was also a cornerstone."
The past two days, it's been more like "The Three Stooges wear Dodger Blue."
"I guess what happened (Saturday night), they have taken to heart," said U-T columnist Nick Canepa, when informed of Sunday's hi-jinx, he too being without Padres telecasts.
If you were a Dodgers fan living in San Diego, it might have been a good weekend to have Time Warner or AT&T.
Trivia time
What is the major league record for most errors in one game by one player?
More Dodgers
You never know when someone important might be listening or watching.
On Sunday's Padres telecast, Ted Leitner told a story about how Al Michaels got his big break in the broadcasting business.
Leitner told the story from the perspective of Tommy Lasorda, who had taken his Dodgers Triple-A affiliate to Hawaii for a series.
Lasorda called Campanis and told him that if Vin Scully ever left the Dodgers (good one!!!), the Islanders' play-by-play man (Michaels) would be a good replacement.
Campanis asked Lasorda how did he know, how was he able to listen?
Lasorda: "Because I've been thrown out of three straight games and I've been listening in the clubhouse."
He said it
• NBC's Jimmy Fallon, on Saints QB Drew Brees getting $60 million guaranteed of his five-year, $100 million contract: "That's even better than Katie Holmes' deal."
Trivia answer
Boston second baseman Andy Leonard committed nine errors on June 14, 1876. He had a good excuse — they didn't use gloves back then. He made 29 errors in 30 games at second that season.
