Re: What were you told about Aisha?itsme
next time any one tells you that., SLAP HIM/HER until they get their sense back., irrespective of their age so that they never support a 53 year old dirty old man marrying/sleeping with some 9 year old little girl dear itsme .. (BUT DO IT ON WEB or by e-mail/letter .. not personally ..lol) Brainless Bums yeezevee
Re: What were you told about Aisha?
Well, seems to me, no matter how much of slapping ( through web or physically) these paedo supporters get they cannot see something wrong with a 53 old man having sex with a 9 year old girl who was still playing with her dolls and needed her mother to clean her face. According to them it is the ways of the people those days. And Mr. MO is just following the tradition of his time.
Re: What were you told about Aisha?
There were many cultural traditions during the pre-Islamic, so-called days of Jahiliyyah. Mohammed abolished them but decided to carry on with this particular tradition to satisfy his own sexual deviancy. Ex-Muslims needed to answer my questions: http://forum09.faithfreedom.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=4519 Serious posts only.

Re: What were you told about Aisha?
================= About Aisha and his age when married with Muahammad, below is very interesting link,. U will surprise http://smalur.com/!P Marriage age read from Page 151
Re: What were you told about Aisha?
Ah, you seem to believe that BS that Aisha was a 48 year old virgin who played with dolls. (So, tell me, why did Abu Bakr get his nickname from Mo when Aisha was neither his daughter, nor a virgin? ) Refuted by ....yeah, mohammmedans: http://forum.bismikaallahuma.org/hadith ... #post55320 A search of '6' gave page 228 where there is some BS about how the Koran forbidds paedophilia.
Re: What were you told about Aisha?Pedophiles and its supporters will find thousand and one excuses and even show a 6 or 11 years old kid to be fully adult in their zeal to hide their crime.
Listen all people you may profess to do whatever you want but you are engaging in an extreme sin and crime if you destroy and molest a child, male or female or any age, yes of any age but more specially upto 19. Using force and imposing one's will on a child of any age shows total cruelty, total lack of compassion to humanity and demonstrates that only an immature, selfish person can engage in such acts. FYI Almost half of the Muslims do engage in pedophilia and this does happen in not only in Middle East but all South Asia. You are all living in denial and live fake pretended lives. STOP aggression on children. Begin to accept that Muhammad did encourage child molestation and used the false faith label to legit it. Accept that Islam encourages pedophilia and only on these grounds it must be abolished. Go and dig any number of old records but also go and search right now what is happening. Almost half of the Muslim children girls and boys are raped and molested by their own family members. If there was freedom of choice most religions would die an early death. All evil religions are cancer to the body of humanity. You are the oncologist please radiate this cancer with your enlightened knowledge. Islam will die a death soon. Meeks will inherit all and not the oppressors.
Re: What were you told about Aisha?I dont understand this muhammed dude, he first got married to someone considerably older than him and then to another extreme, he married someone very considerable younger than him, Was it so hard to find a woman around his age plus or minus about 10 years max?
The Prophet said, "The superiority of 'Aisha to other ladies is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. meat and bread dish) to other meals. Many men reached the level of perfection, but no woman reached such a level except Mary, the daughter of Imran and Asia, the wife of Pharaoh." Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith, Narrated by Abu Musa Al Ashari Hadith 4.643 Musa Ibn Talha ® says, "I did not anyone more eloquent than Aisha ®" Mustadrak of Hakim, Vol.4,p.11 Pervert I bet he was thinking why have 'mutton when you can have lamb'
Re: What were you told about Aisha?Listen truth!
Over 97% Muslim scholars are stupid ignorant. They worship Bukhari as a saint but Bukhari & other Persian imams authors of hadith books were Zoroastrian criminals disguised under Muslim names. They have deliberately defamed Prophet Muhammad & Islam. The oldest record indicates that age of Aisha was 48 yr when Muhammad (S) Married her. She was widow of a martyr Saleh bin Attaib. Read proof at page 151 at: http://smalur.com/1+g It were 11 shia from the cities KOOFA and Basra of Iraq who spread that false stories of 9 yr age of Aisha RA Reader shud know that Shia hate Aisha RA and his father from 1200 years and majority of Muslim believe that shiites are Non-Muslims She was 48 yr old woman a widow of Saleh bin Saleh Attaib when Prophet married her
Re: What were you told about Aisha?
Your source is not a credible source. It was never recognized as authentic at any point in history and obviously when you use unauthentic sources they are bound to contradict authentic ones but you are one fool who doesnt understand that you cant use non authentic sources to debunk authentic ones. YOu also have been shown that non persians also mentioned the age of Aisha as 9 so this event can be confirmed by multiple independent sources . Look around yourself and you'll find people with virtues are never required to demand respect since they automatically earn it. It is only those that are devoid of any virtues need to threaten and bully to gain respect. Needless to say that quran cannot be from God.
Re: What were you told about Aisha?
Your link doesn't appear to work for me. If 97% of Muslim scholars are ignorant which 3% should we get our information from? Ex-Muslims needed to answer my questions: http://forum09.faithfreedom.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=4519 Serious posts only.
Re: What were you told about Aisha?
My information is that Shia muslims despise Ayesha. Don't they consider her to be the whore of all whores? The prophet of Islam was nothing more than a common criminal.
Please tell me if this is accurate: "I have fabricated things against God and have imputed to Him words which He has not spoken." ~MUHAMMAD (Al-Tabari 6:111)
Re: What were you told about Aisha?
Yeah, we hear that a lot. There's always some Muslim on this site who thinks that his unique version of Islam is the right one, and all the other Muslims in the world are wrong. They are never able to explain what makes them, a layman, correct about everything, and every Muslim scholar, who studies Islam FULL-TIME, wrong and "ignorant". If 97% of scholars are stupid and ignorant Rozabal, why are you here trying to defend Islam from the Infidels? Surely you could do more good convincing other Muslims of your position, unless you're afraid of losing your head... That's the thing about us infidels huh, we're filthy and dirty, but at least we won't kill you for disagreeing with us. The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent.
- Carl Sagan
Re: What were you told about Aisha?
Only that depicts that Muhammad has a sense of "humour". It's that time that Muhammad saw her playing with her dolls and when she describes what the dolls are. That's what I remember about her the most. I... *sigh* I never hear about Aisyah being his bride at such young age. I tried not to believe but seeing the hadits is actually shahih like others that is so familiar to me as I have read it... I... it actually shook me...
Re: What were you told about Aisha?I didn't get told anything about Aisha!
I only learnt about her when i joined this site! And i'm disgusted that my parents still practice Islam after what they know
Re: What were you told about Aisha?
We were told as kids at school that she was 18 when she got married to Moe. Rest of the stories about her were again baloney and lies just like the other false stories of islam, moe and his companions. I dint grow up in a closed minded family. My parents were quite open minded so i never really paid importance to the religion. But one cannot assume that i wasnt the victim of islam's falsehood. The brainwashing at schools alone is enough to fek with a kid's mind and even though my parents were open minded and dint think or consult religion in every aspect of life, i still became a victim of islam. I think my parents spent their childhood in India so they dint go through that severe brainwashing like the kids who grow up in Pakistan. Dun fret precious Im here step away from da window.Countin bodies like sheep to rhythm of war drums.Pay no mind wat other voices say.Dey dun care bout u like I do.Safe from pain n truth n choice n oder poison devils dey dun give a fek bout u like I do.Jus stay wid me safe ignorant n sleep

The Campins Company founder Katrina Campins weighs in on foreclosure activity in Florida.

Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
And then let's talk more about real estate foreclosures hitting a six year low across the country.
Katrina campaigns this year she's founder of the camp and company you might know her.
From the apprentice in she was on with us last Friday -- the CM pretty -- Keenan her fans so foreclosures are you seeing.
I would tell me about foreclosure activity in Florida with what you're saying do you think that we've seen the worst habit or of the banks -- -- withholding some of these distressed properties.
Just kind of film slowly but surely.
Well overall -- engines because in January we've seen the lowest foreclosure numbers since the real estate boom in 2006.
Mean that foreclosures that are coming into the market it's the lowest rate it was only about 64733.
And that's considerably lower Florida was one of those.
Markets hit the most by foreclosures.
And what's interesting is -- recovering because of all the international buyers because of all the snow birds coming down to it to Florida.
And it's really still and international markets unrest a retirement destination.
And so we're not seen in those foreclosures at the rate that we saw them prior talk about inventories though and our buyers frustrated at this point because they're just isn't.
And based on personal experience if you got in just want to look at properties there's just not that much out there Tuesday.
Buyers are so frustrated and that's something that people don't realize it's really becoming a seller's market.
I'm working with so many buyers right now they're trying to find their dream home and they're just isn't enough on the market.
And sellers now -- and vanish so they're able to hold on for that price in windy day -- when do you think inventory to pick up you stake in the coming months -- -- you're selling -- starts and in January after the holidays and it's -- and it has been hot so far.
Do you think you will see more inventory as the seller becomes more confident.
And says okay I will -- my house I can't get a good price at this point.
I do and I also think that the developers and -- so many developers in -- that are coming back into the market now and building new inventory.
So as that occurs -- -- gonna have more inventory in the market for the single family homes like for instance the single family homes on my need each on the water.
There just isn't ever going to be anymore of those and so the sellers really have an advantage at this point and the fires unfortunately.
Afternoon -- -- pay top dollar that's what they want we talked about this last week about the buyers being from from overseas and we we were talking about Russians and Europeans but are you seem.
What about them if private investor say up here are people buying properties in Miami and in South Florida.
To add second homes are -- moving into Wal-Mart they just let them sit -- people renting them are they -- for income.
What this wave that I am beginning to see is now your second home buyer.
Or the buyers coming to Miami to escape unfortunate conditions in their own countries or unfortunate weather.
Being in the know aren't.
But I think we're gonna begin to see those investors come back into the market and getting a lot of calls for a commercial real estate figures -- and investors.
Wanting to really dive into the market now and also investors that want to buy residential buildings in order to convert them.
So won't begin to see that -- I think that's what's gonna hit next to -- -- -- I have been with us and -- Miami my name is becoming so desirable because of the weather and it culture did you -- start -- a lot more we have like a really bad snowstorm likely dead last -- -- And mean I'm coming up here for the sandstorm I don't offended back hopefully I'll have what it's not as bad that let let's make.
Katrina you're welcome back any time of great see you thank you thank you for having me absolutely Katrina -- and.

Posted: 1:47 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013
By Rick Cassano
Staff Writer
If Miami University's hockey team is flat when it hits the ice Friday night, it might just get flattened.
The RedHawks are coming off an emotional weekend that culminated in the Hockey City Classic at Soldier Field in Chicago and now face a road series against a gritty Lake Superior State crew.
"A pretty good team that plays right in your face," MU coach Enrico Blasi said. "If our guys have any emotional letdown, it'll be gone in the first two minutes because they're going to get hit."
Miami, 19-8-5 overall and 14-6-4 in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, is the league leader and has already clinched a first-round bye in the CCHA tournament. The Lakers (15-16-1, 10-13-1) are in seventh place and fighting for opening-round home ice.
Playing at home in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., is important to LSSU, which is 12-5 at Taffy Abel Arena this season.
"This is a tough building to play in," Blasi said. "They're as hard a working team as we've seen all year. Their compete level is really good."
The teams squared off in Oxford in early December, with MU winning the opener 3-2 and Lake Superior taking the Saturday affair 1-0. The RedHawks had a 91-54 shot advantage in the series.
"Our goaltending was excellent and gave us a chance," LSSU coach Jim Roque said. "And our power play was good that weekend, so that was huge."
All three of the Lakers' goals in that series were power-play tallies. Juniors Kevin Murdock (2.32 goals-allowed average, .934 save percentage) and Kevin Kapalka (2.94, .915) split time in goal, and Roque said he'll likely use both keepers again this weekend. Blasi pointed out that they're both left-handers.
Senior forwards Domenic Monardo (16 goals, 11 assists) and Nick McParland (six goals, 14 assists) are the top point men for LSSU. Roque said the team got a boost last weekend when junior forward Colin Campbell (shoulder surgery) notched an assist in his first action of the season.
"Campbell's a big part of their team," Blasi said. "They scored 15 seconds into the game against Alaska last Friday, and he was in the middle of it."
Lake Superior swept the Alaska series 5-1 and 4-2. But the Lakers were 1-6-1 in their previous eight games.
"It's funny, but we probably played better at Bowling Green two weeks ago," Roque said. "Alaska looked a little tired. I think we caught them at a good time."
Miami continues to lead the nation in team defense, giving up 1.50 goals per game. The RedHawks rank fourth nationally on the penalty kill.
"I like the way they play," Roque said. "They're in your face. They don't sit back. They try to play with some tempo and speed. I'd like our team to play more like their team.
"I don't think we're as skilled as Miami, obviouisly. We have to play gritty, hard-nosed hockey. We want to forecheck. We want to create some turnovers. We don't have a lot of great playmakers, but I think we can create some stuff with aggressive play."
Freshman Riley Barber (12 goals, 19 assists) and sophomore Austin Czarnik (11 goals, 20 assists) pace the MU offense. Freshman Ryan McKay (1.06, .960) and classmate Jay Williams (1.78, .930) were splitting time in goal before McKay played both games last weekend.
Blasi declined to reveal this week's plan between the pipes.
"Stay tuned," he said. "We have talked about getting Jay back in there in the next four games. I think it's important that he plays some to make sure he's ready to go if something happens down the road."
The RedHawks are 8-7-2 away from Steve Cady Arena this year, 7-5-2 in road games and 1-2 on neutral ice.
"I think we've put ourselves in a pretty good situation in the league," Blasi said. "I don't think anybody would've thought that we'd be in first place with two weekends left, and here we are. So let's just go play."
Miami at Lake Superior State, 7:35 p.m. Friday and 7:05 p.m. Saturday, 1490

Physicist Stephen Hawking remained hospitalized today, a day after he was admitted with undisclosed symptoms.
Hawking, 67, has suffered from the neuro-degenerative disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, for more than 45 years and is mostly paralyzed. The University of Cambridge, where he's a mathematics prof, reported that he was "very ill" when brought to nearby Addenbrooke Hospital. No details were released on the nature of his aliment, but he canceled an April 6 appearance at Arizona State University because of a chest infection.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) today released draft guidelines that permit federal funding for research on stem cells from human embryos set to be discarded by fertility clinics.
Under the new regs, the agency would fund studies on embryos created in test tubes — but no longer needed — for reproductive purposes, adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (skin or other adult cells that are nudged back into their pluripotent state, when they have the potential to become any cell type). Fertility patients would have to consent to their leftover embryos being donated for research.

A subsidy program intended to drive down the cost of lifesaving malaria drugs called artemisinin-based combination therapies—now considered the most effective treatment against the parasitic disease—was unveiled today in Norway.
The program, a partnership between nonprofits, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and 30 governments, could lower the cost of the treatment, whose main ingredient is a Chinese herb, to between 20 and 50 cents.
Right now, the therapy costs $6 to $10 at the roadside shops where remote villagers purchase the meds, according to the new project, the Affordable Medicines Facility for Malaria (AMFm). The first 11 countries where the discounted meds will be available are Benin, Cambodia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda.

Children born to women who took the epilepsy drug Depakote while pregnant had lower IQ scores than those whose moms took three other antiseizure meds, research published this week shows. The results suggest that women of childbearing age should only use Depakote as a last resort, the American and British study authors say.
The average IQ among three-year-olds whose mothers took Depakote (chemical name valproate) was 92, compared with 101 for children exposed in utero to lamotrigine, 99 among kids whose moms took phenytoin and 98 for children whose mother took carbamazepine, according to the study in this week's New England Journal of Medicine. The results are based on 309 children being followed at 25 epilepsy centers in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

Pharmaceutical giants GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Pfizer said today that they're creating a company dedicated to developing HIV medications. The unusual arrangement will give London-based GSK 85 percent equity and New York's Pfizer the remainder.
The companies said in a statement that the merger would "be more sustainable and broader in scope than either company's individually," giving the new partnership 19 percent of the HIV drug market through a combined portfolio of 11 already-available meds and six candidates in development. The idea is that the $2.4 billion in sales generated from the marketed drugs will keep the development pipeline moving, the companies said.

Are there any short-term solutions to climate change? One potentially quick fix being bandied about in India is the replacement of old cooking stoves that produce Earth-warming, lung-clogging black carbon (a.k.a. soot).
Soot accounts for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, second only to carbon-dioxide (CO2), which accounts for 40 percent of the emissions blamed for global warming, according to today's New York Times. Scientists including Veerabhadran Ramanathan, an atmospheric physicist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, are promoting solar-cookers as a quick fix to the soot problem while more complex technologies are developed to reduce the CO2 emissions, the Times reports.

Minnesota health officials are reporting an unusual death linked to a strain of polio once used in vaccines.
The Minnesota Department of Health said yesterday that a man, whom they did not identify, with symptoms of the paralyzing disease died last month. The officials said that he was infected with a strain of polio used in an oral, live-virus polio vaccine that was discontinued in the U.S. in 2000, suggesting that he caught the infection from someone who had received the live vaccine before it was pulled from the market. Polio vaccines used in the U.S. today are injected and contain only inactivated virus, though live-virus vaccines are still used in some developing countries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Bedbugs have crawled their way onto the national agenda. Federal environmental regulators are hosting the first-ever "bedbug summit" to discuss emerging infestations of the insects around the country.
At the behest of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), some 300 people gathered in Arlington, Va., yesterday and today to swap ideas about how to get rid of the critters, whose bites make up to half of victims itchy with hives. While there's no official count of how many people are bitten, cities including New York, Chicago, Boston and Cincinnati have reported growing bedbug problems, which experts blame in part on declining use of pesticides amid concerns about their health effects.

Hey would-be moms, eager to pick up the pace of your delivery? One piece of advice: don't lie down.
Researchers report in today's Cochrane Review that women who knelt, sat or walked around during the early stages of labor instead of lying in bed sliced as much as an hour off of the birthing process. The would-be moms were also less likely to need an epidural (a painkiller injected into the spine). The conclusions are based on an analysis of 21 studies involving 3,706 women.
Women in industrialized countries tend to lie in bed during labor, possibly because that position makes it easier for health-care workers to monitor the progression of labor as well as the baby's health, according to the review. But by lying down, a pregnant woman is putting the weight of her belly on blood vessels in the abdomen. That pressure may weaken the strength of her contractions, which could slow the dilation of her vagina and the descent of the baby through the birth canal, the authors write.

North Korea says it's pulling out of disarmament talks and restarting its nuclear reactor, after its launch of a rocket that critics said was designed to test its long-range missile technology drew international outrage.
North Korea claimed it successfully launched the rocket on April 5, carrying a satellite into orbit for the purpose of exploring space. But the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said it had launched a missile whose top stages and payload landed in the Pacific Ocean. The U.N. Security Council condemned the launch yesterday, prompting North Korea's declaration today. Over the course of six years, the country has participated in talks (stalled since last year) with five countries — the U.S., China, South Korea, Japan and Russia. The negotiations have led the country to disable some of its main nuclear reactor and to disclose some of its weapons program in exchange for fuel and food.

WUS-N-Ireland-Secret -- By Nic Robertson and Ken Shiffman
Audio recordings locked inside a college library in the United States might help solve a decades-old murder mystery, but the release of those tapes could damage the fragile peace in Northern Ireland. In December 1972, the widow Jean McConville was taken from her home in Belfast and her 10 children. "They came about tea time and they dragged her out of the bathroom and dragged her out," remembers McConville's daughter, Helen McKendry, who was then a teenager. Ever since, McKendry has been on a 40-year quest for answers. She believes tapes locked away in Boston College's library may hold the truth about her mother's fate. But there are fears that the tapes may also cause embarrassment or worse for Gerry Adams, the prominent Catholic politician who helped broker peace in Northern Ireland. The recordings were made as part of the Belfast Project, which is a collection of interviews conducted with former Northern Irish paramilitary fighters. They provide an oral history of the decades of sectarian fighting that became known as The Troubles.
Inspectors found a high level of enriched uranium in Iran, a U.N. report said Friday, as world powers attempt to work to stop the country from developing the capacity for nuclear weapons.
Egypt's landmark presidential election looks set to go to a run-off vote in which Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi could face former regime figure Ahmed Shafik, according to partial results reported Friday.
Syrian government forces pounded the central province of Homs on Friday, killing more than 50 people including children, opposition groups said.
The conviction of a Pakistani doctor who tried to help the CIA locate the hiding place of Osama bin Laden is further exacerbating tensions between Washington and Islamabad and could affect U.S. ability to negotiate a deal with Pakistan over reopening NATO supply lines, senior U.S. officials told CNN.
Hurricane Bud weakened to a tropical storm as it approached Mexico's southwestern coast on Friday, the National Hurricane Center said.
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff on Friday vetoed 12 articles of a controversial forest bill approved by Congress last month, which was promoted by the powerful agriculture lobby but slammed by environmentalists. The legislation updates the complex Forest Code, regulating how much and what kind of land should be maintained as native forest and how much can be cleared for ranching and agriculture. The Amazon rainforest covers a huge area, roughly half as large as the United States, with about 60% of it in Brazil. It is estimated that nearly a fifth of the Brazilian forest has been lost since 1970, but over the past decade, authorities cracked down on clear-cutting, reducing the rate of deforestation by 80%.
Victoria Montenegro of Argentina considered the military couple who raised her as generous, humanitarian people, taking her into their home as if their own baby because her real parents were killed in a shootout in Buenos Aires in 1976. She had no reason to believe otherwise -- until the year she turned 24. That's when a group investigating the atrocities of Argentina's so-called Dirty War from 1976 to 1983 told Montenegro that her real parents were among "the disappeared ones," as the war victims are hauntingly called.
The Spanish banking system has taken center stage in the ongoing European debt crisis drama. The bursting of a housing bubble that was formed by the combination of cheap credit and Spain's attractive climate has left Spain's banking system teetering under a mountain of bad loans. Spain's central bank has identified about €300 billion in problem loans at the nation's banks. Massive bank bailouts are clearly on the way. Late Friday, Spain's fourth-largest bank, Bankia, asked the nation's central bank for €19 billion to recapitalize itself. Spain's central bank essentially nationalized Bankia earlier this month. Also Friday, Standard & Poor's also cut its ratings of five Spanish, including Bankia, and said it is weighing further downgrades for another five major banks in the country. S&P had downgraded 9 out of the 10 banks just last month.
Libya's prime minister laid a wreath Friday at the spot where a London police officer was killed outside the Libyan diplomatic offices 28 years ago.

Here's a quick way to get arrested in modern Russia: Walk into a cathedral wearing a neon mask and carrying a guitar, stand on the pulpit and scream punk songs with lyrics like "Virgin Mary drive Putin away!" Throw in a few more obscenities, and that's how three members of the punk band Pussy Riot ended up in Russian prison in early March, after criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin, who the group says is in bed with the Russian Orthodox Church and is unfairly cracking down on free speech.
Burundi's Lydia Nsekera became the first woman to be co-opted on to FIFA's executive committee as the Congress of the world governing body ratified her appointment Friday.

Police said Friday that they tracked down the mother of three children -- all apparently 3 years old or younger -- who were found alone the previous morning in a vacant building in Portland, Oregon. Police released a brief statement about noon Friday, saying, "The mother of the missing children has been located, and we thank everyone who helped with information. We do not need need any additional tips."
A brush fire in Orlando near Disney World prompted authorities to bar traffic in both directions along a major highway running through the central Florida city, a police spokeswoman said. Large plumes of white and gray smoke hovered over and around Interstate 4, footage from CNN affiliate WKMG showed. Flames rising about 6 feet high could be seen rising from one section off the highway, just off an exit ramp to Epcot/Downtown Disney and South International Drive. Firefighters aboard what looked like a red pickup truck drove up to it and shot water to subdue that part of the fire.
A gunman looking for someone he believed owed him money took and released hostages in Valparaiso, Indiana, before fatally shooting himself, authorities said Friday.
Brian Banks was on "Cloud 10" Friday, the first full day of the rest of his life, after he was exonerated of a rape he did not commit. Banks, now 26, said he still has dreams of playing for the NFL.
Folk music legend Doc Watson, a Grammy winner known for his flatpicking and fingerstyle technique on the guitar, is in critical condition at a hospital in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, his representative said Friday.
A U.S. sailor who died last week of medical complications was the 3,000th death among coalition forces in the Afghanistan war, according to CNN's count based on information provided by the U.S. Defense Department and the International Security Assistance Force.
As the country heads into the Memorial Day weekend, the traditional kick-off to the summer travel season, there are almost 1.5 million U.S soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines deployed in war zones or combat missions worldwide. So far, more than 6,400 U.S. servicemen and women have died in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- 3,000 in Afghanistan alone -- and at least 48,000 more have been wounded. Here is a look at the numbers behind the sacrifices of American military veterans of current and past wars:
Jurors in the corruption trial of former presidential candidate John Edwards concluded their sixth day of deliberations Friday and were dismissed for the long Memorial Day weekend. Judge Catherine C.

Barbara Graves, who helped her husband launch Black Enterprise magazine in 1970, died Friday after a three-year battle with gall bladder cancer, the company said.
You don't really expect to simply fall into the spy business, but for Jeanne Tisinger, that's pretty much how it happened. She was a business major at George Mason University when she joined the college's work-study program and, much to her amazement, her first interview was with the Central Intelligence Agency. That was nearly three decades ago, and she's still with the agency.
Seventy-five years later, the innovation and courage of those who designed and built the Golden Gate Bridge shine as brightly as the span's orange towers. A daylong celebration Sunday will include music, vintage cars, a watercraft parade and technology demonstrations. The events will be capped by a spectacular fireworks display showcasing the bridge and surrounding parkland.
If House Republicans have their way this summer, the Bush-era tax cuts would become permanent, "Obamacare" would begin to be dismantled and energy regulations would be rolled back.
On this Memorial Day when military leaders around the world honor fallen troops, one Army general has retracted a blog post stating he is "fed up" with soldiers who commit suicide, calling it "an absolutely selfish act." The comments were originally posted online in January by Maj. Gen. Dana Pittard, commanding general of one off the Army's largest posts, Fort Bliss, but have only recently caused a public stir.
While Mitt Romney has a big lead over President Barack Obama among white voters with financial struggles, the president fares better on economic issues among voters overall, according to a new national poll released Friday.
President Barack Obama holds a narrow advantage over Republican challenger Mitt Romney in three crucial battleground states, according to new polling.
Poll results and strong fundraising portend a tight presidential election in November. The rising heat of political rhetoric by the candidates and their surrogates guarantees it will be nasty and brutal.
Remember all those negative campaign commercials during the presidential primaries? Well guess what: Now that the general election's underway, the television ads have been much more positive.
There's good news for drivers hitting the road this Memorial Day weekend: Gas prices are falling. Regular unleaded dropped to a national average of $3.71 per gallon this week, 23 cents below an April high of $3.94, according to the federal government. But will less pain at the pump undercut GOP attacks against President Obama? The answer is unclear.
President Barack Obama's re-election campaign continued to hound Mitt Romney Friday over his position that smaller class sizes may not be a key component for quality education.
The Obama ads about Bain Capital, the private equity firm Mitt Romney used to run, are harsh. "They closed it down. They filed for bankruptcy," said a somber former employee of GST steel in a recent Obama campaign ad. The irony is that some of the money to pay for these Obama television ads may have come from inside the very company team Obama is demonizing: Bain Capital. It turns out employees of Bain Capital have given $124,900 in donations to the Obama campaign this election cycle.
"It didn't work then. It's not going to work now." Texas Gov. Rick Perry spoke from experience Friday when he argued the recent Democratic attacks against Mitt Romney's private equity career will fail to carry much weight in the long run.
Wanted: A political attack dog ready to tear into President Barack Obama. Must play by team rules, be able to withstand the pressure of a presidential campaign and pass a rigorous vetting process. Being qualified to be president is a definite plus.
The Donald says it's the buzz. Asked Friday in a guest appearance on ABC's "The View" if he was interested in joining Mitt Romney's presidential ticket, Donald Trump asked, "Who would turn it down?"
The candidate challenging longtime Sen. Orrin Hatch in Utah's GOP primary issued his second ad on Friday, blasting Hatch for increased spending in Washington.
As the summer driving season kicks off this holiday weekend, most Americans are enjoying lower gas prices than they might have expected when the spring began. But prices, while well off their 2012 peak set in early April, are still higher than they've been at the start of most summers. The current national average price of $3.666 for a gallon of unleaded is down 12 cents from a year ago, and 27 cents from this year's peak, according to readings from AAA. But it's still the third-highest price on record for a Memorial Day weekend, behind only 2011 and 2008. And experts say that despite oil futures recently falling to below $90 a barrel for the first time since November recently, the steady slide in gas prices might not extend much further.
The U.S. Postal Service is offering buyouts to 45,000 mail handlers, part of the struggling agency's efforts to shed staff and cut costs. The $15,000 buyouts, pro-rated for part-time staff, are available to nearly all of the Postal Service's mail handlers, excluding around 2,000 who aren't career employees.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has been invited to testify before the Senate Banking Committee on June 7 regarding the $2 billion trading loss his bank announced earlier this month.
U.S. stocks fell Friday, but ended higher for the week, as concerns about the debt crisis in Europe weighed on the market ahead of a long weekend.
Facebook's stock price slipped again on Friday, down more than 16% from the price of its initial public offering one week ago -- a market debut that infuriated investors and prompted a lawsuit. Facebook closed down 3.4% to $31.90. That's compared to its IPO price of $38 per share, which was set by a consortium of 33 underwriters led by Morgan Stanley. The social media site's IPO closed just a hair above that - at $38.23 - on May 18, its first day of trading on the Nasdaq.
Nasdaq's glitch on Facebook's opening day is costing Wall Street firms millions of dollars, and that tally will probably rise before the saga is over.
Three television studios and Dish Network are suing one another over an ad-skipping digital video recorder technology that the satellite TV company debuted earlier this month.
It turns out that consumers like the idea of watching TV shows with no other ads. And, surprise, the television networks are less than thrilled. On Friday, news was continuing to emerge about a flurry of lawsuits between Dish Network, which last week released a tool to let its DVR customers do exactly that, and the major television networks. It's a battle over a new technology tool. But, in some ways, it's a microcosm of the fight for the future of television and how we watch it.
It was once that a cassock, a simple cross and a chalice was all you needed to equip the average church, but now the world of liturgical accessories is a big business. Poland's SacroExpo is one of the largest trade fairs of its type in the world, hosting displays of everything from bells to church alarm systems and evangelical multimedia.
House Arc may look like an egg-shaped antidote to McMansion mania, but this small mail-order home was really designed as a way to quickly provide housing to victims of disaster.

Britney Spears is refuting reports that suggest she walked off "The X Factor" set after a contestant performed a pitchy version of her hit "Hold It Against Me." "#Britneywalksoff??? LOL was just taking a little break people. I am having the BEST time!!!" the singer tweeted on Thursday.
Memorial Day weekend signals the unofficial start of summer, and one tradition that's up there with barbecues, beaches and camping trips is the summer blockbuster. And while "The Avengers," "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Men in Black 3" may spring to mind when you hear that phrase, we're thinking of the ultimate summer movie: "Jaws."
There were two big American gangster films competing for the Palme d'Or this year and both were directed by Australians.
Why are doctors recommending fewer cancer screenings? Shouldn't you find out if you have cancer and then decide whether to treat it?
Imagine the incessant, grating sound of buzzing in your ears - or constant beeping, whistling, dripping, or clicking. Imagine the chatter of crickets or birds resonating in your head all day long.
Obesity is a widespread epidemic, even among the homeless. While the popularized image of a homeless individual is one of skin and bones, a new study shows the reality is not so. One in three (32.3%) homeless individuals in the United States is obese, highlighting a hunger-obesity paradox.
There are many conversations taking place right now about creativity -- how our future depends on it, how our kids are losing it, how most schools are killing it, and how parents ought to be nurturing and encouraging it. I recently attended a lecture on the topic by Tony Wagner, Innovation Education Fellow at Harvard's Technology & Entrepreneurship Center and author of "Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World." The lecture took place in an auditorium that was packed with parents, well-motivated on behalf of their kids.
Editor's note: Denise Castelli is one of seven CNN readers chosen to be a part of the CNN Fit Nation Triathlon Challenge. She lost her leg to an infection following a tragic accident in a collegiate softball game. She writes: There are moments in all of our lives when we need to stop what we're doing, take a second, look around, and soak it all in. What I learned about triathlons during our Kona, Hawaii, training trip was life changing. During this trip, I learned how to release.
Do gamers prefer to build or destroy? A look at the combat-intensive themes of most top-selling console games would suggest the latter. But then along came "Minecraft" for Xbox. The long-established PC game that focused on building and crafting was released for the Xbox earlier this month -- and the results should shake the notion that gamers just want to kill something.
It's not every day a Bible verse lights up social media, but a relatively obscure verse from the Hebrew Bible -- what Christians call the Old Testament -- was trending on Twitter worldwide Thursday.
A revolution has been brewing in the workplace among coffee drinkers unwilling to settle for the break room sludge.
Olivia Pope is smart, runs a successful business and is the center of attention when she enters a room. She's the kind of woman who magazines say every woman can be, and the type that others love to hate. After a successful first season, viewers know that Pope, the lead character on ABC's "Scandal," is African-American. But they might not realize the significance of her race. Pope, played by Kerry Washington, is the first African-American female lead on a major network show in 38 years.
LeBron James is cocky. Kobe Bryant is a ball hog. Kevin Garnett is a thug. Dwight Howard got his coach fired. And Metta World Peace? Ugh, Metta World Peace. These are the constant groans of NBA fans filling message boards and Twitter. We'll leave it to you to debate their merits in the comments below, but the message is (supposedly) clear: We want better role models, less individualism and players who show respect for the game. So what about the San Antonio Spurs? They are, for the most part, none of these things. They're the winningest pro franchise in the country over the last 15 years, led by two men, David Robinson and Tim Duncan, who epitomize humility. They play as a team -- quiet, dignified. They've accrued four rings since 1999, and they've done it without a whole lot of chest thumping, hooting and hollering.
Being coach of a nation's football team brings enormous responsibility. The stakes are high, and the weight of expectation is even greater. Some say, for instance, that the England manager's job is second only in importance to the British Prime Minister's role -- and Roy Hodgson has already been subject to intense scrutiny before his first match in charge against Norway in this weekend's Euro 2012 warmup match. But though undeniably demanding, Hodgson's job is arguably a walk in the park compared to the task facing Kevin McGreskin.
After more than half a century involved in motorsport, and three decades at the helm of Formula One, Bernie Ecclestone has no plans to quit just yet. In fact, the 81-year-old has told CNN that he will be in charge for as long as he lives.
You don't get any prizes for guessing that Maria Sharapova is the highest-earning female athlete in the world. But who is the second richest? Is it Serena Williams, the American 13-time grand slam winner? Or is it Victoria Azarenka, the world No. 1 and winner of 35 of her 38 matches this year? And away from tennis, there is Danica Patrick, the only woman to win an IndyCar race and a big drawcard for motorsport sponsors. In fact, it is Li Na, the world No. 7 women's tennis player and winner of a single grand slam title in a 13-year career.
The glitz of Cannes on the French Riviera is a world removed from the hellish conditions endured by the hundreds of illegal immigrants smuggled from Africa to Europe every year.

Haifaa Al Mansour has just directed one of the first feature films ever to be made in Saudi Arabia. But she won't be able to watch it at her local theater, because cinemas are banned in the kingdom. The film, called "Wadjda," after its protagonist, is billed as the first to be filmed entirely in Saudi Arabia with an all-Saudi cast. It is currently in post-production and being touted for worldwide sales at the Cannes Film Festival.
Earthy, sun-dried structures and startling blue skies provide the vivid backdrop for many an exploration of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The architecture is distinctive, but the natural setting at the base of the southern Rocky Mountains, 7,000 feet above sea level, puts the city in the realm of spectacular. And aesthetics are just a fragment of what draws more than a million visitors a year. Santa Fe's creativity shines in its art and cuisine, and there's a deep spiritual pull.

NBA AM: Howard In, Beasley Out, Smith Staying?
Posted By Steve Kyler On March 15, 2012 @ 9:01 am In All,NBA | No Comments
Is Dwight Howard Back In? Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard has been waffling about his decision to stay in Orlando. Early yesterday he told teammates and family members that he wanted to finish what he started in Orlando and would be Opting-In for the final year of his contract with the Magic, then hours later reversed that decision in a conference call with the Orlando Magic.
After last night's loss to the San Antonio Spurs Howard reversed his course yet again, saying he would indeed sign his Early Termination Option (ETO) paperwork this morning and would be staying with the Magic through the 2012-2013 season.
"Man, listen, you know my heart, my soul and everything I have is in Orlando," Howard told RealGM's Jarrod Rudolph. "I just can't leave it behind."
Howard has struggled with this decision for a few reasons, the biggest being "influencers" in his life that have convinced Howard and his advisors he cannot win in Orlando. That the team will win regular season games, but that if he stays in Central Florida long-term he cannot win an NBA Championship.
Howard understands he might be listening to the wrong people in his life.
"I have gotten some bad advice," Howard said. "I apologize for this circus I have caused to the fans of our city. They didn't deserve none of this. I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart. I will do whatever I can to make this right and do what I was put in Orlando to do."
Howard admitted to RealGM he has really battled this situation personally and arriving at a decision has not been an easy process.
"This has been a very hard time," Howard said. "For me, my family and all of us. The fans deserve a better hero and I will make that happen. I love and appreciate my fans and this city."
The Magic had been entertaining trade scenarios involving Howard, with the best offer on the table from the New Jersey Nets. They are said to have stepped up their offer yesterday, offering the Magic almost any combination of assets not named Deron Williams.
If Howard waffles again, which sources say is highly unlikely, the Magic seem like they have a deal they would do with the Nets.
So it will be interesting to see how the next six hours plays out.
Get the very latest news, notes and rumors surrounding the 3pm NBA Trade Deadline in the 2012 NBA Trade Deadline Diary – click here for the latest.
Minnesota And The Lakers: The long-rumored Lakers-Portland-Minnesota three-way deal that would land Portland's Jamal Crawford in Minnesota, Lakers' guard Steve Blake in Portland, and Wolves' forward Michael Beasley in L.A. seems to be the leader in the clubhouse.
The Wolves have been talking to a number of teams about possible deals involving many of their roster parts, but it seems that the three-way deal with the Lakers might be the one that gets done this afternoon.
The Orlando Magic had an offer of Jason Richardson on the table in exchange for Beasley, but Crawford seems to be the player the Wolves covet most.
If the Lakers can pull off the deal for Beasley, their second move would be to use their Traded Player Exception and a draft pick to nab Ramon Sessions from the Cleveland Cavaliers and round out a two-player upgrade.
Like most teams on deadline day, the Lakers are holding out hope they can trigger a mega deal using Pau Gasol, but as of last night there did not seem to be anything major in the works for the Lakers.
If the Laker-Portland deal falls through for Minnesota they seem to have a couple of options they like involving Beasley, so it's safe to say he will be elsewhere later today.
If the Laker-Portland deal falls through for Portland, they seem to have a backup plan available with Indiana, although that's deemed the least palatable deal. The Blazers have been talking with teams about a Gerald Wallace deal, although sources say there is interest in moving Wallace, but the Blazers won't just give him away.
All trades must be submitted to the league by 3pm EST, although a trade is not official until a trade call is held with the NBA where all parts of the deal are approved by league attorneys.
Where Does C-Lee Land? The Houston Rockets have roughly eight players they have shopped around the NBA, so it's safe to say they will be trading someone today. Terrence Williams, Jonny Flynn, Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, Patrick Patterson, Luis Scola, Hasheem Thabeet and Courtney Lee have all be offered around.
Courtney Lee seems to be the chip most teams want. The Chicago Bulls have been after Courtney for almost two years, but sources say the Rockets want either Omer Asik or Taj Gibson in return for Lee and that's likely too steep a price for the Bulls.
The Indiana Pacers would love to add Courtney Lee; he is from Indiana and would fit in nicely with their system. The problem is the Pacers don't have any real assets they would part with that the Rockets want.
The Timberwolves view Courtney as a backup option if they swing and miss on Jamal Crawford. There has been talk that Houston would love to add Michael Beasley, so it will be interesting to see if Houston can spin Courtney into a better player.
League sources say the Houston Rockets do have a standing offer for Lakers' forward Pau Gasol. The deal does not include Rockets' guard Kyle Lowry so its deemed a non-starter by the Lakers, but if L.A. decides it wants out of the dollars committed to Gasol, Houston seems more than willing to send Luis Scola and almost any of the parts mentioned above to the Lakers.
The Lakers have told more than one inquiring team that if an offer for Gasol does not include a star level point guard, there is no room for a discussion. Houston is not offering a star guard so a deal for Gasol seems unlikely.
The Rockets have been linked to New Orleans' center Chris Kaman and word is the Rockets would do any combination of guys above for the final year of Kaman's deal. However, a Kaman deal might cost Houston Kevin Martin and despite his struggles and injuries as of late the Rockets seem reluctant to part with K-Mart for Kaman.
Kaman received a trade kicker in his contract when he was traded to the Hornets; he now represents a $14 million cap hit.
The Hornets have talked to a number of teams about Kaman and have floated the idea of keeping Kaman beyond this season and doing a contract extension with him after the trade deadline. That could be a smokescreen to get the offers up, but it seems for now that New Orleans isn't trying to give Kaman away, we'll see if that changes in six hours.
Not Moving Josh: As we covered in yesterday's NBA PM report, the Orlando Magic were working through the Minnesota Timberwolves trying to extract Josh Smith from the Hawks.
It's just not going to happen.
The Atlanta Hawks have told Josh Smith that they are not open to trading him before today's 3pm EST trade deadline and that they would explore trade options this off-season if Smith genuinely wants out, it's just not happening today.
The Hawks understand Josh's frustrations and are not insensitive to how Josh feels.
Sources who have tried to engage Atlanta on Smith say the team really does not let the conversation get too far and its clear the Hawks' value Josh more than anyone trying to trade for him does.
One league source said that Atlanta wants a legit All-Star front court player for Josh and while Josh had an All-Star caliber year, the price tag seemed to be way too high to get anything serious going.
The Hawks are expected to have serious talks about Smith in and around the NBA draft, so the situation is far from over.
The reality is the Hawks don't seem open to trading Josh Smith today… that could change if someone gets silly with an offer, but at this point it seems Josh is staying where he is.

Recap: No rhythm, no rhyme, no Rams playoff berth
"We never got into a rhythm. We never came close to getting into a rhythm."
-- Sam Bradford, on the Rams' offenseThe internet wolves are howling for Pat Shurmur's blood after a brutal offensive performance against one of the league's very worst second-half defenses, and it's hard to blame them. This loss, and lonely flight home that begins the offseason, can be laid entirely at the feet of the offense.
The rhythm that Bradford was looking for, that we all were looking for, is what should form the very identity of this offense. The snap, the drop, the unfolding of the play, the hammer thrown by a lead block or the break in the route and the sudden appearance of the ball in exactly the right spot. Bradford, like any great performer, excels at playing within the rhythm of the offense, when that rhythm has been established. But Sunday, there was more noise than melody, and it resulted in dropped beats and misteps and missed blocks and dropped passes.
Like you, I watched this game for more than 3 hours and never once had an idea of what the Rams really wanted to do, or who they wanted to be, on offense.
-- Bernie Miklasz, on the loss.For one series, though, the Rams had it right. They really had it working. Digging out from their own 3 yard line, Bradford established a steady cadence revolving around the 5-step drop. (See it unfold, after the break.)

Gennaro's Grill & Garden
Online Reservations
We have had the pleasure of dining at Genaro's many times. We find the food delicious, the service friendly and competent and the gentleman at the door courtly. We have recommended it to our friends and they agree it is a great place for lunch or dinner.
This has changed hands several times in the past few years. I decided to try it for a business lunch as it has good parking for SLO. Everything was great. Love the ambiance of the old house. The food was great. The Salem got great reviews as did the lamb burgers. I had pork medallions which were very tensor and flavorful. I will definitely go back again now that I have rediscovered it. Will go for dinner soon. Oh, the prices were good.
We found this restaurant by chance while staying in San Luis Obispo to visit our old college town and visiting with family. We all enjoyed the feel of being welcome. The food was delicious. We all had a different meal and everyone loved what they ordered. We will be sure to stop again on our next visit to San Luis Obispo.
We were there Saturday night while weekending in SLO. I can't begin to tell you how much fun we had. Juan Carlos, our server, was spot on in levels of customer service and providing a delightful evening. The food is fabulous. I had the arugula salad special that was presented beautifully. I had the paparadelle with sausage and took my leftovers home, since we had a refrigerator in our room for lunch on Monday. My guy had the Linquini Diavlo and he was amazed by the amount of seafood on the plate. I would definitely go back there if we are ever in that area again.
Great food , great service ! Would return again in a moment.
Take a trip back to Italy when dining at Gennaro's. Old Victorian home converted to a warm and comfortable environment. Attentive service at a reasonable price. We will return.
This was our first date night out since well before we had child #2 (10 months and counting). What a treat - early on a Sunday, we almost had the restaurant to ourselves. The salad was amazing, and we split a glass of the house pinot grigio. Entrees fabulous, the handmade pastas really were tasty. Closing out the meal we had multiple cups of freshly made coffee and shared probably the best panna cotta that either of us has ever experienced. Probably the best bang for the buck Italian restaurant around. Sure there's a bit cheaper (Olive Garden, anyone?), but if pressed, I'd say it's easily in line with menus at Vieni Vai or Mama's Meatball without the wait and certainly friendlier/more attentive wait staff. We'll be back within the month!
Gennaro's has a special quality that you only get when the owner is totally involved. He pours your wine, he stops by for a visit at your table and you know that he is making sure the customer gets great service. This is a restaurant you bring your out-of-town guests to for great food, wine & service. The portions are just right and presented beautifully. How could you not love this place?
We eat here every week for a reason-- it's reliably good food. Never too salty. Always satisfying. I liked the fish soup Sunday special; a beautiful dish of shellfish (in their shells, which I prefer), shrimp, and fish. A couple of people in our group wished it had a little more oomph. Maybe a little cayenne? Those who ordered the osso buco Sunday special said they would definitely order it again. And the Fettucini Alfredo from the Sunday special was to die for! YUM! The fact that we had the room to ourselves was nice, too, because a group of 8 is rather noisy. Thank you, Gennaro and Juan-Carlos.

I detect some desperation in the Sunday op-ed column by Columbus Board of Education President Carol Perkins to salvage the reputation of Superintendent Gene Harris and to retain their control over the school district. Her comment on the urgency to select a replacement for Harris to "build upon the foundation laid by Dr. Harris" suggests that a continued denial of wrongdoing by the school administration can be achieved by hiring someone on a contract that would make it too expensive to fire the person.
Of course, Harris would have to be given a $500,000 "consultant contract" to assist in the transition period.
Perkins sounds like a female Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, covering President Barack Obama's sequestration scare by applying the same rationality to Mayor Michael B. Coleman's education-commission suggestions. In the next election, she and several other longtime board members need to be "retired" along with Harris, as children's education is not their priority. Job preservation is.
Maybe a new board and superintendent will bring progress toward excellence in education for the school district.
Something fishy about privatized state agency
I am pleased that The Dispatch is reporting on the finances of JobsOhio and that State Auditor Dave Yost is standing his ground on efforts to obtain full disclosure of its funding sources. The money trail leading into this private entity appears suspect in light of recent revelations.
As a state employee required to complete annual ethics training, I think maybe Gov. John Kasich and some of his defenders need to do the same, though it appears they need the remedial class.
