Well and they get to the Oscars of course the big awards ceremony -- this weekend.
And we have -- -- with us at Fox News producer to give us.
The previous and I hear First Act isn't breaking news for this race -- -- -- -- you -- great to -- but let my -- -- -- do we know luckily we got.
The last time I and is an arena.
Perfect okay let -- going a lot of books news channel in the next hour for the quite do that -- coming start.
As a broadcast Oscar expert right here boxes -- -- -- -- your parents are at fox exclusive.
I had the perfect formula.
We're particular winners and I wouldn't -- -- -- -- And during this right now and and -- -- to the Oscar winners.
You know election that we project the winners saying after the polls close before the votes that -- -- we project and for US senate for governors for the presidency.
Today and let -- get the winners major categories.
Based on my exclusive formula which I've been researching for 35 years her.
As well as my -- -- -- can -- voters so I can tell you.
A who's going to win and -- but he guaranteed if I'm wrong I -- connector of him.
Wow so here you have zippers.
So yeah of it's a best picture the year -- -- -- Argo of course know that you can't put my face is that right at will you expand.
The nominations would benefit was not nominated for best director people's -- in the water because normally you can't win best picture that the corresponding directing nomination.
On the pass and five years only one who was pulled it off that was -- -- I think speaker 1989.
An article it's -- we -- a -- backlash in favor of particle after the -- you were so upset by what his place -- mission here.
They -- so much they love the film.
And aren't the -- with a steamroller it's what all the -- -- -- -- critics' choice Golden Globe producers guild directors guild.
It's been unstoppable Hollywood loves a film here of course makes Hollywood makes a Hollywood producers look -- here and it's going to win best picture I guarantee what's mixing -- when Ben.
Catholic and musical -- -- Clooney.
Get up on stage as well -- -- Our different best -- -- yes yes and then for best director.
And what's funny most -- -- -- Steven Spielberg for Lincoln and he has his -- or twelve nominations and I was like the great achievement.
How ever.
I support the Lincoln has -- there's not much excitement port there's been criticism of it that it's a little long a little boring to reports that it can members.
Actually fell asleep during it at this screenings and it just seems just a little tired if you will so watch for Ang -- -- like the -- I'm projecting to -- an option I've spoken many voters they were all blown away by this film people said that the book on which was based could not be turned into a film.
And he made this the most visually stunning statement experience of the year like -- pies so eleven nominations his look and he of course when -- historic -- -- doesn't -- for Brokeback Mountain.
Although that's a must have this picture and up to to crash he will win the set second district Oscar on the Sunday night he gets to be heard here first aren't we didn't -- -- And it had big runs four inches of snow on the list here we have very little time -- at best actor that is is it easy when you can only Lewis and only cannot waging war on the astonishing what we knew this thing this part we nearly -- third Oscar.
He's won best actor twice before for ninety nine's my left foot and of course the 2007 film there will be blood he is so great.
This could compete category this check this threat -- to ruins of once played look at what came Phoenix the masters to gently in his -- -- Often cast anything you think of -- win but -- here at they're up against in the middle is he had a wife and handling that and I believe he has a slammed it.
-- best actress most of the observers we'll tell you Jennifer Lawrence in -- one when despite this when the wind.
But -- the -- that is wrong she has no chance of -- no chance no chance at all.
I'm not even here -- -- no right.
I will always say that you're playing well I thought she's she's not -- -- this award is going to go to Emanuel rebounds in a more.
I know she's a virtually unknown in this stage -- -- from French actress.
85 years old she turns 86 and -- Sunday.
This was an astonishing performance high difficulty acting she plays an elderly woman -- -- music teacher.
Whose health and the declines after suffering from stroke here and she is just so mesmerizing and -- -- -- -- many of the critics awards a when the British Academy Award.
-- -- -- speaking to voters here they all of this performance here Jennifer Lawrence.
The feeling is that she's great in the film but it's just past the caliber work and she's 22 missiles which hits the -- so.
One reporter now and then knowing who's going to win I guarantee you -- -- And then best supporting actor okay here's -- who wins they look at comes into play because voters they do -- the film acting nominations including picture director.
And all four acting categories which we haven't seen since -- 1980 one's reds.
But -- by of course -- Warren Beatty I hear this one change they can honor.
The performance from that -- it's a lot to zero.
He's going to pull an upset and have to performance here -- great.
A big dramatic scenes -- smaller quieter emotional moments as well he's just so -- -- -- her come -- for him you know it's funny people stood in recent years -- and so -- films.
Meet the parents of little pocket and.
That's true that's true and with this still here you see what -- great.
After he was -- his last win -- to -- two years ago for reaching people.
As a plain -- LaMont it was his little when mr.
-- standing ovation -- -- great -- so why he's got up there answering after the -- -- -- that he can't win because.
He's won anything support.
That is a matter folks who didn't do their own thing -- -- this performance coming to Little League and of the rule it's little small here he's at -- seems deacons past has been to contemporary -- -- Texan.
In the park here so he went crystal ball changing -- -- -- was great he went through years ago so here it is I can -- and the.
De Janeiro -- arresting gear can do it on other on I think it at all is and half of its money she this is you're looking from the -- from the other prince has gotten some call that film -- Larry I Delaware's.
And then we saw her as catwoman in general -- And limits and that's where she's had a great career that -- a young age if he's proven that she really is phenomenal talent yeah.
We call this rate for Anne Hathaway playing of course to do -- team.
In -- is around the moment he saw the trailer out back in had chewed her singing I dreamed a dream of course just.
It screams Oscar only instance about twenty minutes and she disappears for most of film but.
A great performance she can cry she said she loses her hair her teeth -- -- just.
It's just it's brings us directions all the pre Oscar awards so a slam dunk I can guarantee that is well.
And a note beside prediction he also had some jokes you're suggesting me.
You sound like you want just don't let a few -- -- -- up about thirty seconds and let us here is not a.
-- real quickly OK if -- getting -- -- there was wins best at tonight it'll make history that's because it will -- the first time that Hollywood's ever voted for Republicans.

Best Western Plus President Hotel At Times Square Guest Reviews (156)
this hotel is in a great location right near Times Square. Only down side to this hotel was that the room was not cleaned properly daily as we stayed there a week and the floor was not vacuumed the whole time we were there. The bathroom was not that clean either. Otherwise the location made up for these annoyances
Tencents wrote on October 19, 2012
The hotel is a little worn but it's clean and if they redecorate you're not going to get it at anywhere near the current price! Lots of cheaper places in NY, but I don't know any, anywhere near Times Sq. We had virtually a two room suite for three adults (me, wife and adult son) so it was perfect from that point of view. Fridge and coffee maker and iron and 2 TVs. Just around from Times Square, our 11th floor front room quiet, location perfect. Breakfast OK but relatively expensive - better options outside. Nice staff. Would book again.

I always stay here for the price and the location, but there's nothing else that's attractive about this place. Most rooms are rather small, some over-heated and the cleanliness of the bathrooms could improve a tad. Best Western Hotels can be a bit tacky, but this one is the only hotel I've encountered in over 30 years of extensive travel that actually charges money to hold bags on check-out. Considering the price of other NYC hotels and the prime location of this place, I wouldn't make much of a fuss about this, but it's still rather tacky.

The staff was very warm and welcoming! They were very accomodating and I would return to this hotel. It was also great to be able to check our bags at the hotel for a later departure from the city. Excellent service.

Of course people should get paid if they were promised an internship but end up doing menial labor. But they have a simple solution: they can just walk away from their unpaid internship without losing anything. If you voluntarily stay in an unpaid internship, presumably you are getting something out of it.
The insidious effect of this rule will be to place organizations providing good unpaid internships at a much higher legal risk, because the organizations that provide them now have to worry about getting dragged into court by a disgruntled intern for back pay. That not only means they are going to be less likely to have interns in the first place, it also means that interns who can't clearly contribute at a high level from day one have to be kicked out right away.
Negative. What this means is that internship offerings will have to be more concrete in what the learning outcomes will be and also not replace low skill work (e.g. go clean the bathroom - unless you are in zoology and it's animal bathrooms) for interns . Will there be less offerings? Maybe a little but the internships that do stay will be more valuable for both the student and business in the end.

With Great Lakes stuck at historic lows, talk turns to adaptingBy Nick Manes and Joe Boomgaard
Harbor towns across West Michigan are dealing with the impact of low water levels on Lake Michigan. The low water impacts a range of water users, from recreational boaters to commercial users.
In 1998, President Bill Clinton was embroiled in the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, the Detroit Red Wings won their ninth Stanley Cup and Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google Inc. in Menlo Park, Calif. It was also the last year that Lake Michigan water levels were at their long-term average height. In September, Lake Michigan's average water level was 577.56 feet, or 18 inches below its long-term average for the month, according to data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The 14 years of below-average levels on Lake Michigan is "the longest in its period of record," the corps said in its September Great Lakes Water Level Summary. Earlier in January, Lake Michigan dropped to its lowest average level ever recorded. The implications of lower water levels are numerous for Michigan. The Great Lakes provide much of the state's drinking water and are used for commerce ranging from shipping to fishing, recreational boating and tourism. "We were really going into a crisis situation come spring," Alan Steinman, director of the Annis Water Resources Institute at Grand Valley State University's Muskegon campus, said about the water levels earlier in the year. "The good news is since April, … we're no longer near that crisis level, but we have to remain vigilant. We can't get complacent because we are still well below the long-term mean." Icy winter needed to replenish lakesA mix of evaporating water and minimal ice cover due to warmer temperatures over the winter has contributed to the record-low levels, according to the corps. Heavy rainfall throughout April, which resulted in significant flooding in downtown Grand Rapids, as well as water flowing in from Lake Superior, has helped raise Lake Michigan, Steinman said. "If we have another winter where we don't get much ice cover, we are going to be right back where we started last year," he said. "That's a place where nobody wants to be." As MiBiz previously reported, low levels in Lake Michigan make navigating West Michigan harbors difficult for some larger cargo vessels. The shallower the port, the less a ship can load over fears of running aground. For every inch the water level drops, a freighter has to decrease its cargo by 50-270 tons, industry sources said. This leads to companies paying for space they are unable to use on ships. Although seasonal dredging provides a short-term fix for the shallow harbors, the practice is expensive, and funding for dredging has become a political issue in recent years. "Assuming that climate-related impacts are going to continue — and there's no reason to believe they won't — I think we need to change our mindset so that rather than reacting to these issues every time, we need to start thinking about how we can be adaptive to these issues," Steinman told MiBiz. "When we start looking at our infrastructure, we need to start to thinking about how we can be more nimble. … (We need to start) thinking about how we can translate these challenges into opportunities." Grand Rapids is working on water sustainabilityThe city of Grand Rapids embraced climate adaptation as part of the five-year sustainability plan it passed in 2010. Each year, the city tracks, measures and reports data related to progress on the plan. Specific to water resources, the city has reduced its consumption of water, which it draws from Lake Michigan, and has focused on removing pollution from combined sewer overflows into the Grand River, a Lake Michigan tributary. It's also looking at water conservation measures, such as reducing losses in the city's water system, updating plumbing and reusing gray water for irrigation, said Haris Alibasic, director of the city's office of energy and sustainability. Grand Rapids' current municipal water intake system off Grand Haven Township is safe, even given the historical fluctuations in water level, he said. Specific to fluctuating Great Lakes water levels, Alibasic said it's an issue that likely won't affect the city in the short term. But the municipality can't afford to ignore the trends. "We're looking at something 40-50 years down the road, and it will not necessarily impact all of the Great Lakes ecosystem," he said. "But that's not to say we haven't already started taking adaptation and mitigation measures." Grand Rapids is a member of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative, which challenged members to reduce water consumption a total of 15 percent by 2014. As of last year, Grand Rapids has slashed its annual consumption by 16.6 percent or almost 2.25 billion gallons of water since 2000. The city also invested $300 million to separate sanitary sewers and storm sewers, resulting in a 99.97 percent reduction in combined sewer overflows to date, Alibasic said. The infrastructure piece of climate mitigation "is really something that governments — national, state and local — have to focus on," he said. Steinman said that under an early-stage initiative at the state level, headed by the Office of the Great Lakes within the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, a number of water experts from different fields have submitted white papers he hopes will result in a long-term strategy to address water-related issues in the state. Steinman is among the experts involved. "Ultimately, we want this to translate into policy because that is how it will make a long-lasting impact," he said. "Every environmental issue we face boils down to an economic issue. We need to get the economics right when we start figuring out what the solutions are to these environmental challenges. … "As this gets more definition — and hopefully it will, whether it's on the port side or the water strategy side for the state — then you can start drilling down to specifics, but we're just not there yet." In the meantime, Grand Rapids continues to execute its sustainability plan and focus its climate adaptation strategy on the resiliency of the city's infrastructure, Alibasic said. "Our systemwide approach takes into consideration all the varying elements, and climate change adds an unpredictability level," he said. "To be resilient, we need to take into consideration the existing conditions and external factors, including the financials." Related Content:

MONTEREY, Calif.- Bill Hillar claimed to serve across the globe, as a green beret. He taught at major institutions, across the country. Friday, a local student is calling him a fraud saying Hillar has tricked people for years.
Bill Hillar lectured at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. Students say, he even claims the movie TAKEN is loosely based on his life.
Students here at MIIS were excited to be taking a sex trafficking course from a renowned expert, a special forces army colonel, but they said all they got were a bunch of lies, and they have the proof to back it up.
"I heard nothing but good things about him, everybody raved about his courses, he was in special forces, teaches a course on tactical counter terrorism and he tells the most amazing stories," said Brian Hubbs.
But that's just it, now Hubbs is coming forward for the first time saying his one time instructor Bill Hillar was telling stories that never happened. For instance, Hubbs says Hillar claimed to be inspiration for the film TAKEN where a former government operative's daughter is kidnapped and forced into sex trafficking.
Hubbs says for students in one class, "The dominant story he mentioned that she was murdered in Bornio, but in the human trafficking class that I took he said she was murdered in Mexico City...He seemed very passionate there were times when he was tearing up in class," said Hubbs.
When the students researched the movie's writer they say they learned TAKEN was based on a Paris police officer. Bill Hillar wasn't mentioned.
The movie inconsistency wasn't the only thing that caused Hubbs and a handful of students to start researching Hillar's claims.
Hubbs, a former Marine vet, said what bothered him the most were the stories about Hillar being high atop the army's chain of command.
"He specifically said I'm retired army colonel, special forces, Delta Force took part in all these operations," saiod Hubbs.
Hubbs tracked down documentation that shows Hillar was in the Coast Guard reserves, but there is no record of him in the army or any type of special forces.
"it just became more clear that things weren't adding up, things weren't right, but the only problem is he only teaches one class in the spring one in the fall, so he's not around."
Hubbs and the other students took their concerns to the school's administration.
"We take it very seriously. We want to be diligent and thorough in the research we are doing to understand the facts," said Jason Warburg, the Communications Director at MIIS.
The next question you may be asking: What is the protocol for a background check? The school says Hillar was a contracted instructor.
"It's a different process. A more informal process," said Warburg.
So what is Hillar saying about all this? That's the problem. Hubbs and the school both say they've tried to contact him. So far, the only thing they can track down is the P.O. Box office he has in Carmel, a shutdown website, and voicemail from the man who they say was once their trusted instructor.
Central Coast News has also reached out to Hillar, but has yet to hear from him. Check back on www.kionrightnow.com for updates.

You might not be a professional athlete just yet, but you can start eating like one. Healthy food expert Heidi Skolnik meets weekly with the New York Giants, the 2008 and 2012 Super Bowl champs.
Her message: Good nutrition helps players play well, time after time. The Giants use her nutrition advice to fuel their performance on the field. Would you believe Justin Tuck, a defensive powerhouse, likes to eat grilled asparagus?
Years ago, even professional athletes didn't think much about what they ate. It's a very different picture today, Skolnik said. She gives food and nutrition advice to the New York Giants all year long — in training camp, during the season, and in the off-season. They follow her suggestions. Why? Because it means better performance on the field, she said.
"Players want consistency in their play," Skolnik said. "They want to play as well as they can, as long as they can, and as consistently as they can."
What does consistency mean? A good athlete knows he or she can play well. But they want to play well every time, not have big highs and lows.
"Nutrition is a key part of that strategy," Skolnik said.
What you eat — or don't eat — can affect your mood, how much energy you will have, and how much endurance you will have. Skolnik offers these two guidelines for the players, and said younger athletes can follow them too:
There's no one magic food, Skolnik said, but eating healthy is an important way to get ready for game day. Tuck, a defensive end, obviously agrees.
Here's what he had to say about eating right:

"Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.' All this took place to fulfill what the Lord has spoken by the prophet:

Florida Baptist Church in Durango celebrated their 25th anniversary on October 20th, 2013. First Southern Mancos was their mother church in 1988 when they first opened. Florida Baptist Church is grateful for First Southern Mancos, the Mesa Verde Baptist Association and the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention for helping them get started. We rejoice with Florida Church as they celebrate this milestone. Join us in praying for Florida Baptists Church. We are grateful for their past and are looking forward to their future.

According to CrossBooks' website: "This is a story written to give parents a tool to help their children realize the true message of Christmas. While the traditions of Christmas can smother the message that parents desire to emphasize, this story will guide their children as they realize the truth and follow their hearts as God draws them to Himself.

"Acts of deadly violence at churches continue to make headlines with more than 135 deadly-force incidents occurring on ministry premises in 2012." When I read those figures I was astonished and saddened. My next question was how do we as ministry leaders deal with this scary fact? I believe that we can do a couple of things. One, we can put our heads in the sand and say, "it will never happen at my church!" Two, we can prepare our church for an event such as this and in preparing talk openly about the issues.

The Ponderosa staff are excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome and attended to. Thanks for offering such a great place for people to come and get away! I will definitely be bragging and I think some even inquired about using the Ponderosa for other things they're involved with."

The other day I was talking on the mountain top about Mary and Martha. My daughter was helping me. She is 4 and standing beside me during this point of the sermon.
The question I was asking at the end of the sermon was this: Will you sit down at the feet of Jesus this week? I got as far as, "Will you sit down..." and my Anna promptly placed herself on my feet. Everyone ooh-ed and aah-ed and took pictures. I cried.

The forests of Colorado are burning up again this summer. Among the fires this season is the most destructive fire in Colorado's history – the Black Forest fire. With more than 500 structures destroyed it has proven even more destructive than last year's Waldo Canyon fire. Along with the destruction come a call for ministry and a chance for Southern Baptists to make an impact on many lives. This week I returned to the First Baptist Church of Black Forest which is the command center for our Disaster Relief efforts. I was emotionally moved and left with two strong impressions.

We've been talking about getting in shape for the ascent and what kind of clothing to bring. I'm putting a backpack together for him. I also mentioned it would be a good idea as we trek to the mountain top to come prepared to talk about Moses and his journey to the summit of Sinai. He is "up" for it and studying as I write this.

So many leaders fail to tend to themselves, and eventually are unable to really serve others. They are starving intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. When they do read their Bibles, or listen to CDs or podcasts, it is always for someone else.

Did you know that in 2011 Southern Baptist churches reported an increase in the number of churches along with the number of baptisms? Praise the Lord! However, SBC reported that in 2011, fewer churches were participating in reporting their church data. Now this information is valuable to us to know as Southern Baptists. However, we wouldn't have any of this information without the Annual Church Profile (ACP).

text: Lebanon's press climate, while better than its neighbors, suffered in 2012 as the uprising in Syria spiraled into civil war. In April, Syrian security forces shot and killed a Lebanese journalist covering the conflict from the Lebanese side of the border. Within the country, journalists faced significant risk while covering protests for and against the Syrian regime. In May and June, for example, nine journalists were attacked in four violent episodes during demonstrations. In September, the authorities detained for nearly a month a Lebanese-Palestinian journalist who frequently covered arms smuggling into Syria. In October, the rebel Free Syrian Amy abducted a Lebanese journalist working in Syria and held him captive for a week. Lebanese authorities negotiated his release.

South Face is an upper-middle-class neighborhood of about 250 houses built in Rockrimmon beginning in 1993. They are nice houses, multi-level with fancy street lights and well-kept landscaping.
South Face sits on the north side of Vindicator Drive, across from Ute Valley Park.
Folks there were surprised a month or so ago when a new sign appeared attached to a city traffic sign. Here's the sign:
The sign sure looks official.
And it was attached to a city traffic sign at the entrance to the neighborhood. Check it out below:
The signs were erected by the South Face Community Association board. The board is determined to enforce covenants that prohibit parking on city streets overnight. Cars must be in driveways. Or else.
Some neighbors were shocked. Some called the Colorado Springs Police Department. Some called Side Streets.
The common question: Can an HOA tow away a car parked legally on a public street?
Neighboring Eagle's Nest neighborhood has a similar warning attached to a stop sign:
If both neighborhoods are doing it, it must be legal . . . right?
Actually . . . no.
CSPD Sgt. Lonnie Spanswick, the parking enforcement guru, said police are the only agency authorized to tow cars from public streets. Absent a court order from a judge, any HOA board calling a tow truck to enforce covenants about parking on city streets is asking for trouble.
Specifically, they are asking for a criminal charge of motor vehicle theft.
Spanswick said covenants are not law. And HOA boards are not police. They can NOT simply call a tow truck and haul off a car parked in violation of covenants.
Attorney Lenard Rioth said South Face has not towed any cars and would not do so without a court order — a lengthy process in civil court.
He said the signs were erected because some in the neighborhood simply won't follow the rules they promised to honor when they bought their homes.
Rioth said the streets are narrow, creating safety issues if they are lined with cars at night. They become difficult to plow in snowy weather.
Then there's the principle involved. Covenants are not dictated to residents. They are self-imposed. Why, Rioth asked, do people move into covenant-protected neighborhoods only to ignore the rules?

Team Unicorn now boasts 5 World Champions and 26 World Championship titles between them. No other brand has more World Champions or more World Championship victories. As World Champions they demand the very best. This is what they use.Why titanium for darts? The UniBoffin explains:In aerospace titanium alloy finds employment where the strength of steel is required in a lighter material - it's only a little over half the weight. Unicorn exploit these properties too in the ZeroD nose cone, but also use the metal as a stronger, if heavier (and a little more expensive!) alternative to aluminium as a shaft material.But titanium's darting uses don't end there because the non-slip surfaces of Black and Golden Titanium barrels are produced by a Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) process which involves ionization of the metal in a nitrogen environment to form a plasma which penetrates the barrel surface and creates a colourable, dense, hard-wearing, coating of titanium nitride.

The NCAA case involving the University of Miami will continue — but without about 20 percent of the information the governing body of college athletics has deemed tainted because of its own "improper conduct" during the investigation, according to NCAA President Mark Emmert on Monday.
In response, UM President Donna Shalala indicated Monday evening she is fed up with the drama, and implored the NCAA in a lengthy statement to "bring this to a closure."
Said Shalala: "We believe strongly in the principles and values of fairness and due process. However, we have been wronged in this investigation, and we believe that this process must come to a swift resolution, which includes no additional punitive measures beyond those already self-imposed."
Among the findings revealed in the 52-page report:
• The NCAA paid $18,000 of a requested $57,115 to the lawyer of former UM booster Nevin Shapiro.
• The NCAA paid $8,200 to fund communications with Shapiro from jail, including the transfer of $4,500 to the prison commissary account from which Shapiro pays for the communications.
Despite Shalala's objections, expect the Notice of Allegations in the nearly 2-year-old case to arrive soon at UM and to any involved individuals. Judging by the national teleconference Monday led by Emmert and outside counsel Kenneth L. Wainstein, it appears there will be no swift settlement between UM and the NCAA.
"The intention is to move forward with this case," Emmert said. "There is still a lot of information that is available that has in no way been tainted by this incident. In terms of timing, I'm not going to guess when that occurs. I know everyone is trying to get it done as quickly as possible."
Added Emmert of the expected Notice of Allegations: "They're moving forward with dispatch."
For UM, that's the crux of the matter that was revealed during the teleconference that released the results of the NCAA inquiry — announced Jan. 23 — into its own misconduct, namely using Shapiro's attorney, Maria Elena Perez, and paying her to improperly obtain information during two bankruptcy-related depositions. The NCAA does not have subpoena power.
The NCAA initiated the investigation of itself — conducted by Wainstein, a former FBI general counsel and former assistant attorney general for national security — for the "very severe issue of improper conduct" that it discovered last month.
The report indicated that Perez sent the NCAA nine invoices requesting payment for the billable time that she spent on the investigation between Oct. 11, 2011, and July 31, 2012. "The invoices, reflecting an hourly rate of $350" for her legal work, according to the report, "requested a total payment of approximately $57,115."
The NCAA's enforcement and legal staffs, however, "jointly agreed to pay a final amount of approximately $18,000."
Though the external review found that "select enforcement staff members did not violate a specific bylaw or law," the NCAA fired its vice president of enforcement, Julie Roe Lach, as the result of the inquiry into its own wrongdoings, Yahoo! Sports reported earlier Monday.
