Paris Hilton pleads guilty to cocaine possession in Las Vegas

Paris Hilton pleads guilty to cocaine possession in Las Vegas, Whether or not it was her purse or her cocaine, Paris Hilton pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors on Monday morning (September 20) in Las Vegas in connection with her arrest last month on drug possession charges.According to TMZ, Hilton pleaded guilty to drug possession and obstructing an officer in a deal that will save her from serving a one-year term in jail. In return, she has to pay $2,000 in fines, complete 200 hours of community service and complete what is being described as an "intensive" substance abuse program.The site reported that the judge gave Hilton a one-year suspended sentence in the case, which means that if she is arrested for anything besides a minor traffic violation in Vegas in the next year, she will have to serve the full one-year term. Hilton will also be on probation for one year.In a tweak to the Hilton family's business legend, the judge warned the party-loving globe-trotter, "The Clark Country Detention Center is not the Waldorf Astoria."Hilton was arrested on August 27 in Las Vegas after the SUV she was riding in was pulled over and police found 0.8 grams of cocaine in her purse. Hilton later claimed the purse didn't belong to her and blasted rumors surrounding her case."Ms. Hilton understands the seriousness of the situation and appreciates the chance she is being given," the socialite's lawyer David Chesnoff told The Associated Press over the weekend. "She has to stay out of trouble."

$10 Million Bounty Could All Come Down To Bigfoot Poo? (Video)

By Susan DuclosMonths ago Spike TV announced a new show that would airing "10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty," which will be hosted by actor Dean Cain,The show is offering $10 million for undeniable proof of the existence of Bigfoot and in a recent interview, the  Senior Vice President of Original Series at Spike TV,  Chris Rantamaki, laughingly reveals that the $10 million bounty could all come down to Bigfoot poo and DNA."When I saw this, it truly blew my mind. It's not my world, but there's all different kinds of DNA, obviously, like hair, fur, saliva, stuff that maybe scraped off onto branches … scat is obviously a very big piece [of evidence] in the woods. And for the scat, it's so crazy that it can be determined, within several hours, what animal it has come from, very specifically, through the DNA sequencing. And even when samples are found, our experts have this knowledge … and in the lab, there's a textbook that is just filled with pictures of various kinds of scat, from every animal. It shows the picture of the animal, the shape of the scat … it's all really crazy, but hearing all these folks talk about it is fascinating."  (Source)So, finding Bigfoot really could come down to poo?"Yes," Rantamaki said, laughing.Of course, this brings up the obvious point that if no proof already exists, no sample Bigfoot DNA, then tests can rule out species and animals, but how can DNA proof be determined with nothing to compare it with?Still YouTube is now full of videos marked Bigfoot proof for Spike TV, starting since the original announcement of the show which will start airing in January 2014.

CPS School Closings Start: 28 Schools Close Their Doors For Good Wednesday With More To Follow

CPS School Closings Start: 28 Schools Close Their Doors For Good Wednesday With More To Follow, For 28 Chicago Public Schools on Wednesday, the final bell will ring for the last time — ever.Teachers and students at closing schools like Elihu Yale Elementary School in Englewood told the Sun-Times they anticipate plenty of tears when the final bell rings.“Girls are going to be crying when it’s time to go home,” 13-year-old Kameisha Ashford told the paper.The first round of 28 schools will close for good Wednesday:Yale Altgeld, Louis Armstrong, Banneker, Bethune, Bontemps, Calhoun North, Delano, Emmet, Goldblatt, Henson, Herbert, Key, King, Kohn, Lafayette, May, Morgan, Overton, Paderewski, Parkman, Pope, Ryerson, Songhai, West Pullman, Williams Elementary and Middle, and Woods.More schools will have their last day ever in the coming weeks.“It’s really a sad day,” West Pullman special education teacher Sheryl Campbell, who is now without a job, told the Sun-Times Wednesday morning. “I just worry about the kids’ safety as far as going to a new school...Hopefully their needs will be met.”CPS parents and the Chicago Teachers Union have filed at least three lawsuits to halt the closures. Court intervention or longshot legislation from Springfield are the last hope for the schools, though WGN notes both are unlikely.On the eve of the first wave of closures, CTU President Karen Lewis spewed fierce criticism of district officials during a speech she gave at a City Club luncheon Tuesday.According to WBEZ, Lewis said the city should show the same loyalty to its public schools that it does to the Chicago Cubs.“When the Cubs lose a game, they don’t call for Wrigley Field to close down,” Lewis said. “They don’t want the entire team dismantled. And despite some empty seats, the stadium isn’t accused of being underutilized.”Lewis also blasted big banks and "rich white people" for the financial calamity that have led to school closings, DNAinfo Chicago reports."Rich white people think they know what's in the best interests of children of African-Americans and Latinos," Lewis said. "There's something about these folks who use little black and brown children as stage props at one press conference while announcing they want to fire, lay off or lock up their parents at another."Later Tuesday evening, CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett told NBC, "No one believes CPS, no one trusts us, and I think the only way you can attack that belief is to continue to be as engaged as you can with as many aspects of the community."The CEO predicted all-around improvements, from student performance to attendance, if her five-year plan is implemented.Also Tuesday, CTU Vice President Jesse Sharkey lamented the school closures outside of the soon-to-be-shuttered Lafayette Elementary School in Humboldt Park. Accusing Mayor Rahm Emanuel of investing "unnecessary" funds in other parts of the city, Sharkey told ABC Chicago,"We've marched, we've filed lawsuits, we've spoken at hundreds of hearings. This is a school that survived two great wars and the Great Depression but didn't survive Rahm Emanuel."

Anybody Want To Ask A Question Thursday Night

It's relatively clear where the preponderance of the State Delegation representing Prince William County stand with regard to the Bi-County Parkway, particularly as has been evidenced by the attendance and statements at several meetings held locally and in Richmond.  What is not so clear is where the Loudoun delegation stands and given their votes on the Transportation Bill last session, I would suggest they may not be opposed to the Bi-County Parkway.  That being said, one has to wonder whether they will attend Thursday night's VDOT presentation at Creighton's Corner Elementary School and let their positions be known. Should they chose to attend perhaps one of the more hardy souls in the crowd should ask them about the campaign contributions they have reported in 2013 alone and how those contributions relate to their votes in favor of the Transportation Bill and whether or not those contributions will "influence" their position with regard to the Bi-County Parkway.  Here's some select data to look at.Joe May Campaign Contributions 2013$15,000 Majority Leader PAC $10,000 Commonwealth Transportation PAC $7,500 Nova Technology Council $5,000 Howell for Delegate - William $5,000 Va Transportation Construction Alliance $2,500 John T "Til" Hazel, Jr $2,000 Transurban USA Inc $1,250 Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce $1,250 Nova Building Industry Assn $1,000 Associated Builders & Contractors - Va Chapter $1,000 Associated General Contractors $1,000 Dewberry & Davis $1,000 Northern Virginia Assn of Realtors $1,000 Old Dominion Highway Contractors Assn $1,000 Parsons Brinckerhoff $1,000 Toll Road Investors Partnership II $1,000 Va Assn of Realtors $1,000 Va Trucking Assn Total $58,500Tom Rust Campaign Contributions 2013$10,000 Sidney O Dewberry $10,000 John T "Til" Hazel, Jr $5,000 Eleanor C Hazel $5,000 Majority Leader PAC $5,000 Nova Technology Council Herndon$2,000 Northern Virginia Assn of Realtors $2,000 Nova Building Industry Assn $1,000 Home Builders Assn of Va $1,000 MC Dean Building Intelligence Inc $1,000 Gary D Rappaport $1,000 Va Assn of Realtors Total $43,000Tag Greason Campaign Contributions 2013$10,000 Commonwealth Transportation PAC $4,472 Va Assn of Realtors $2,500 Majority Leader PAC $2,500 Nova Technology Council $2,300 Northern Virginia Assn of Realtors $2,000 Toll Road Investors Partnership II Total $23,772

Knicks Season Ends in Game 6 Loss to Pacers

AP Photo/Darron CummingsBy Kenneth Teape (@teapester725)Saturday, May 18th, 2013Game 6 RecapFinal Score: New York Knicks: 99 Indiana Pacers: 106The Knicks season has come to an end with a loss in Game 6 against the Pacers Saturday night, ending what was their best season in a long time.  It was a tough ending to the season as there were high expectations for the Knicks coming into the season but they did improve upon their prior season for the third consecutive year, so hopefully they will build upon this one next season.  For tonight the effort was just not there consistently enough as it could have easily been a blowout in the Pacers favor if not for a big night from Carmelo Anthony and an inspired stretch in the third quarter when the Knicks got hot.  Questionable coaching decision by head coach Mike Woodson and some interesting calls for the referees were too much for the Knicks to overcome on the court as their season game to a disappointing end in Indiana.   The Knicks will start their offseason program while the Pacers will move onto the Eastern Conference Finals to take on the Miami Heat.-PositivesOf the Knicks tonight Anthony was the one who looked most like he was not ready to see the season end.  For much of the game he was the only person the Knicks could count on on the offensive end, as he carried the Knicks with 39 points on 15 of 29 shooting from the field and perfect eight of eight from the foul line.  Anthony added seven rebounds as well as he did everything he could on the offensive end to keep the Knicks in the game.  Anthony got it going in towards the end of the first quarter and into the second quarter as he made five shots in a row after starting the game zero for three.  It was a spirited effort from Anthony who just did not get enough help on the offensive end for the Knicks to take it out.Iman Shumpert led a furious comeback in the third quarter, knocking down three threes in a row to bring the Knicks back into the game after falling behind by double-digits.  Shumpert had a huge third quarter overall, scoring 16 of his 19 points in that frame.  Shumpert knocked down five of his six three point attempts, adding three rebounds as well and his normal great defense before fouling out after only 25 minutes played.  Shumpert has looked better and better as the season has gone on and it will be a pleasure to watch him next season after a full training camp and not having to rehab an injury, instead being able to work on his game.Raymond Felton was unable to give the Knicks anything tonight, as he had his worst game this post season going zero for seven from the field and scoring only two points.  Felton did add six assists and three rebounds, but was unable to give the Knicks that added scoring option as he was stifled as the pick-and-roll game was not as effective with Chandler being ineffective.  Felton wasn't the only point guard to struggle as Jason Kidd's scoreless streak continued, giving him 10 games in a row without a point.  There is a chance that Kidd may never again score a point in his career as retirement talks have surrounded Kidd throughout the end of the season.The three point shooting tonight was the only reason the Knicks were even in the game in the first place.  The Knicks knocked down 13 of 30 three point attempts in the game, good for 43.3 percent.  The Knicks were lucky they hit a hot streak in the second half, knocking down eight of nine at one point; otherwise the Pacers would have blown them out.  The Knicks struggled inside the three point line, going 21 of 55 inside the arc.  -NegativesThe Pacers were able to expose many of the Knicks deficiencies in the game tonight.  One being their lack of offense; had the Knicks not gotten hot from deep they would have been blown out.  Going 21 of 55 inside the arc is unacceptable and not a winning formula.  The lack of inside scoring presence was front and center throughout the series for the Knicks who struggled from the floor all series.The numbers at the end of the game aren’t awful, but the Knicks were once again hammered on the boards by the Pacers.  The Pacers ended the game with a 43-36 edge in the rebounding, but started the game with a much bigger edge as the Knicks didn’t grab their first rebound until the seven minute mark of the first quarter.One reason for the huge rebounding disadvantage was the play of Tyson Chandler.  He was awful throughout the series and once again tonight as he was sorely outplayed by Roy Hibbert.  Chandler just did not have it against the Pacers and really throughout the playoffs as he looked lost at times and was unable to slow Hibbert down, a big reason the Pacers took the series.Another player that dominated the Knicks tonight was Brooklyn native Lance Stephenson.  Stephenson played quite possibly the best game of his career, scoring 25 points on nine of 13 shooting, including 10 rebounds, three assists and a steal that led to an and-one to break a 92-all tie and put the Pacers back ahead.  Stephenson bullied the Knicks all night as there was no one able to slow him down from attacking the paint and getting to the basket at will.  Hard fouls from Chandler did not slow Stephenson down as he kept attacking and really hurt the Knicks tonight.The foul and free throw disparity tonight were so lopsided they were comical.  On the night, the Knicks attempted only 18 free throws, making them all on 16 Pacer personal fouls compared to 46 attempts, 34 which were made on 34 Knick fouls.  That kind of disparity is unheard of especially in the playoffs, as the Knicks were on the wrong side of a lot of 50/50 and questionable calls.Mike Woodson has put himself squarely on the hot seat; being as stubborn as ever he really cost the Knicks the series.  He continued to use Chandler on Hibbert even though he was being dominated while he had a capable defender in Marcus Camby on the bench.  He also showed too much trust in J.R. Smith, who struggled yet again in going four of 15 from the field for 15 points.  Woodson took too long to go to players such as Chris Copeland and it cost the Knicks in the playoffs and possibly his job.  Woodson was unable to make adjustments in the series and continued his poor performances in the playoffs as a head coach.

Documentary: BULLY: Whatever Happened to It Takes a Village to Raise a Child?

I'm a little late. I had been meaning to watch the documentary BULLY (2011) for a while. I see many students on Elon's campus wearing the button that says BULLY with a red slash going through it. Well, I sat down this evening to watch it on Netflix and it tore my heart apart. If you have seen it, you know what I mean or if you know someone who has been bullied severely or even worse has committed suicide for being bullied, then you know what I mean. What made me angry was the adults in the children's lives who were all saying that "They cannot take responsibility for the children's actions." School Superintendents, school boards, principals and even police were saying things like, "We cannot change the actions of a student. We have lots of students to supervise and if the parents do not enforce it, we cannot do anything." And what gets me is that these adults who work in CHILDCARE were saying these things after some young individuals were bullied so much to the point that they committed suicide. I'm sure they would not be saying this if it were their child who was the victim. I think what our problem is in the 21st century, is that many of us have become numb/desensitized to and almost dare I say accepting of pain and meanness. We have become consumed with the ideas of capitalism, and each man for himself! So adults convincing themselves "Oh this is just a phase. They'll grow out of it," is a dangerous state of mind to fall victim to.The documentary traces the journeys of I believe five families in dealing with the harassment of their children in school, but the children and their parents alike feel helpless because the people in upper administration will not take any ownership or responsibility in it. What the hell is happening to our world? What ever happened to "It takes a village to raise a child?" Everyone is so afraid to take responsibility for someone else's child, and everyone wants to be "politically correct," but bullying is a bigger problem then I thought. There are lots of campaigns that parents of victims of bullying have created to fight bullying, however, they can campaign all day till they're blue in the face, but that won't make a significant change until administration puts their foot down.It is heart breaking to know that a young, innocent child who has not yet experienced all the joys and even true sorrows that life has to offer, feels that they MUST end it all because they feel so much pain from bullies...their peers who slap them, physically abuse them, call them names all while adults stand on the sidelines and say "Oh well." That makes me angry! Adults should know better. If the adults can't teach the future generations the right way...WE ARE DOOMED!--And that is an understatement.Honestly, I remember being bullied as a kid for my weight, the way I dressed, etc. but I had a mother and people to tell me that they loved me and that I was beautiful! My mother would tell me to "defend myself," and sure enough when I did so, people did not tease me anymore the way they once did. Many people go through the phase [of being bullied], some worse than others, but I believe that in order for a child to successfully pull their way out of it, without feeling like they must take their own life, they need to feel 1)support from their parents and 2) support from their teachers and principals.Two scenarios in the documentary stuck out to me. One, two parents of a boy who committed suicide called a town meeting and a few students testified. A poor boy got up with tears running down his face saying, "I can't believe _____ had to do this just for people to notice! Just for people to care. I can't believe it had to go this far!" I thought, "Wow, this kid has more sense then the adults." Two, the last family the documentary followed was a black family in Mississippi. The victim of bullying was a young, black girl who was an honor student who played basketball. She was constantly teased so bad at school that she took her mother's gun and brought it to school and took it out on the bus. She did not shoot anyone, but of course she was taken to a juvenile detention center. And here goes the raggedy sheriff taking about, "This young lady has 22 counts of assault plus another 22 counts...she has over 40 counts of misdemeanor charges which if she was old enough could land her YEARS in jail. I don't care how bad the bullying gets, to me there is no excuse for bringing a gun to school."If you are reading this you may be saying to yourself "Oh, he's right,"...but let me ask you this, have you truly been bullied to the point that you felt like a piece of dirt? Have you ever been bullied everyday of your life in school to the point that you felt like you wanted to give up? If the answer is no, then you would not understand why she brought the gun to school. She didn't fire the gun or shoot anyone, she said she was tired of them picking on her and she wanted to scare them. Yet when that crazy lunatic boy shot up the movie theater...American news outlets want to talk about how smart he was...that he attended an Ivy league and that he had mental problems. Creating nothing but a bunch of excuses for him...but here's a 14 years old black girl...honor student, who was sick and tired, but she has 40 plus counts of misdemeanors and "Americans" want to THROUGH HER IN JAIL! at even Also a lesbian student was dealing with bullying and it got so bad that even the child's parents' friends disassociated with them. When it comes to certain issues, this country makes me sick. We have too many bystanders and onlookers in certain situations who fail to speak up when they know something is wrong with the situation. You may not agree with someone's viewpoint but bullying is never "okay" or acceptable or appropriate. And we'er always busy judging someone...WHY? No one is perfect and EVERYONE had dirty laundry, it's just that everyone's is not as visible as others' but that doesn't make us better than anyone else.In college it's much more rare to see open "bullying" then in elementary and jr high school, but if I see it I WILL SPEAK UP! It would kill me inside to know that I could've done something but didn't. Also, I can't change the world alone, but I will make a video to encourage people who have been bullied. And as always I start with informing people with my blog, then I will apply it to my personal life, and then take it to the MIGHY TUBE...YOUTUBE THAT IS! Any thoughts? Comments? Concerns? If you haven't seen it, watch it. If you have seen it what did you like? Dislike?

My letter to the editor on Dwight Howard and the Lakers

Yeah, they spelled my name "Freeman" but at least they published my letter and the point I was making...See here.My letter:Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was traded to the Lakers in 1975. He did not win a championship until Magic Johnson showed up in the 1979-80 season.Shaq signed with the Lakers in 1996. He did not win a title until he and Kobe Bryant learned to play together, and with a fast and young team around them, until 2000. And yes, kudos to Phil Jackson for bringing them together.Howard has been more than worth the efforts and price to have him, and the Lakers should be saying to him, we will build this team around you.A little patience would help everyone in the Lakers' organization and among the sportswriters at the L.A. Times.
