			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Cited: ABC news</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-265" style="margin-right: 10px;" src="http://www.misspellingdictionary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Louise-Chavez-300x225.jpg" alt="Louise Chavez" width="260" height="195" />One woman was amazed when the lights and bells went off on a slot machine she was playing at the Fortune Valley Casino in Central city Colorado.  Everything indicated that she had just won the $42 million jackpot!  Then, Louise Chavez was informed by the casino that the machine had malfunctioned.  All she got from the bells and lights going off was a few dollars, some free meals and a room for the night.</p>
<p>Colorado gaming officials are investigating the incident, but said it could be nothing more than an unfortunate computer glitch. Chavez may not see a dime.</p>
<p>&#8220;I put my money in there,&#8221; Chavez told &#8220;Good Morning America.&#8221; &#8220;Whatever I won, I should get&#8230; There are dreams and there are things I&#8217;d like to do &#8212; helping my family, helping my kids. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m disappointed. I just don&#8217;t know.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Denver woman can remember all too clearly when she thought her life had changed.</p>
<p>&#8220;All of a sudden I saw the light come on on top of the machine,&#8221; Chavez told &#8220;Good Morning America.&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Oh, my God! Oh, my God!&#8217; I&#8217;d never had this feeling before in my life, never.&#8221;</p>
<p>The payout she was expecting, $42,949,673. She said she usually makes about $12,000 per year as an in-home personal care provider.</p>
<p>But champagne and caviar dreams quickly evaporated. Casino employees told Chavez the slot machine had malfunctioned.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve been open for 15 years at Fortune Valley and this is the first time we&#8217;ve had something of this magnitude,&#8221; Fortune Valley communications director Joe Behm said.</p>
<p>Phone calls requesting comment from the slot machine manufacturer, WMS Industries of Waukegan Ill., were not returned to ABC News.</p>
<p>Chavez said the casino offered only to comp her room and meals and give her back about $20 she&#8217;d put into the machine.</p>
<p>&#8220;My emotions changed from excited, thrilled to very upset,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s unfortunate when it happens,&#8221; said Colorado Division of Gaming spokesman Don Burmania. &#8220;We don&#8217;t like it to happen, the casinos don&#8217;t like it to happen and in this case, the patron didn&#8217;t like it, either.&#8221;</p>
<p>The disappointed punter said she will continue to push for the jackpot payout: &#8220;I played the game, I put my money into the machine, whether it&#8217;s $42 million, $42 000 or $4 000, I should get what the machine said,&#8221; she asserted.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/Rev-Gaming/RGM/1213781235188">Colorado Division of Gaming</a> will now look for forensic information in the machine&#8217;s software, and there is a possibility that Chavez could still win some money.  Colorado gaming authorities also stated the casino has no legal obligation to pay the $42.9 million. Don Burmania, a spokesman for the division, said the top prize of $251,000 was clearly posted in the casino and that a software malfunction is to blame for the glitch.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not the first time a Colorado casino has had to fess up to a phony jackpot. In 2008, Burmania said, a penny slot machine at another Colorado casino told a player she&#8217;d won $164 million. Her correct prize should have been $6.60.  The lawsuit was settled out of court by the casino with the gambler.</p>
<p align="center">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><strong>My Take:</strong> I think I would be upset as well.  I wonder what would happen if casinos online had the same or similar problem.  I know you can play free online casino games, but I doubt they get paid for those.  Of course, online casinos probably use software consulting services to make sure that their software is operating correctly.</p>
<p>There are many testing products available today for online casinos to utilize.  I wonder if the regular casinos use any of these products.  It might be wise for them to start anyway.  I know one thing that many casinos have started using and that is <a href="http://www.rapiscansystems.com/">metal detectors</a>.  I have noticed that many regular casinos now have security guards at the doors with <a href="http://www.rapiscansystems.com/metaldetection.html">metal detector equipment</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Cited: ABC news</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-245" style="margin-right: 10px;" src="http://www.misspellingdictionary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Missing-McStay-Family-300x225.jpg" alt="Missing McStay Family" width="254" height="190" />According to authorities, a California family that is missing for two months may have left San Diego for Mexico on their own accord.  And according to ABC News&#8217; San Diego affiliate KP TV, evidence shows Joseph and Summer McStay had been researching travel to Mexico via their computer.</p>
<p>&#8220;They were making inquiries concerning travel in Mexico and passports which would indicate there was some type of planning ahead that we weren&#8217;t aware of before today,&#8221; San Diego Sheriff&#8217;s Lt. Dennis Brugos told KGTV.</p>
<p>Joseph McStay, 40, and his wife, Summer, 43, disappeared along with their two children, Gianna, 4, and Joseph, 3, from their serene San Diego-area community in early February.</p>
<p>Brugos said the computer search was done about one week prior to when the family&#8217;s white 1996 Isuzu Trooper, with the children&#8217;s car seats still intact, was found near the Mexican border and nearly 80 miles from the family&#8217;s Fallbrook, Calif., home.</p>
<p>The findings in the family computer support what Brugos has said he already believed: that the family may have crossed into Mexico willingly and were not victims of foul play.</p>
<p>Surveillance footage of a family of four walking over the U.S.-border and into Mexico, fitting the description of the San Diego family, was recorded on Feb. 8, four days after the family was last heard from.</p>
<p>&#8220;We had been somewhat focused on the fact there&#8217;s a high probablity they had entered Mexico on their own volition and this somewhat reinforces that,&#8221; Brugos said.</p>
<p>The video was shot at the San Ysidro Port of Entry and, according to San Diego Sgt. Roy Frank&#8217;s interview with KGTV, the family spotted on the video seemed to be &#8220;casually strolling into Mexico&#8221; and that each adult was holding hands with one of the toddlers. There was no sign any of the family members were in distress.</p>
<p>Brugos urged the McStay family to contact someone if they are safe and alive.</p>
<p>&#8220;Law enforcement has put in a great deal of time and effort trying to locate them and if they could simply contact someone and let us know they&#8217;re all right that would be a huge relief to a lot of people,&#8221; said Brugos.</p>
<p>Earlier in March, McStay&#8217;s brother, Mike McStay, told ABCNews.com that he doubted the family shown on the surveillance tape is his missing relatives. He has also steadfastly argued that his brother and his family would not just pick up and leave without telling him.</p>
<p>&#8220;The video quality is very poor. I personally could NOT make a positive identification,&#8221; Mike McStay wrote on a blog dedicated to his missing family.</p>
<p>&#8220;Careful reviews of the video, shows that there are two or three different families passing by, and one with a little girl actually, and the other with a man who walks nothing like my brother,&#8221; wrote McStay.</p>
<p>Family Members Disagree Over McStay&#8217;s Ties in Mexico</p>
<p>McStay and his father Patrick McStay have disagreed since the family vanished in early February as to whether Joseph McStay might have any reason to travel to Tijuana, the Mexican border town closest the Southern California.</p>
<p>Joseph McStay is the owner of Earth Inspired Products, a company that designs interior decorative fountains, according to its Web site.</p>
<p>His brother said the fountain business shipped worldwide regularly, but he was unsure whether the two young children even had passports.</p>
<p>Their father, Patrick McStay, said he believes his son had done business in Tijuana, possibly as recently as December.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know he does business periodically,&#8221; said Patrick McStay. &#8220;Some of the smaller fountains he offers are manufactured in Mexico, so he calls down there and has them sent to him.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Patrick McStay, he knew his son&#8217;s business received merchandise for Mexico and his son had been to Mexico or the nearby border towns because he was the initial investor in the company.  Last year, his son picked up granite countertops for his home kitchen but he was renovating.</p>
<p align="center">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><strong>My Take:</strong> I would have to say it would depend on how close the man is to his brother as to whether he is actually missing.  It is as close to his brother as he says, then his brother&#8217;s family could be missing right along with his brother.  Maybe his brother couldn&#8217;t get a Paramus NJ divorce attorney, so he went to Mexico.  Maybe he wanted to get some <a href="http://www.mywalldecals.com/">vinyl wall lettering</a> that he could only get in Mexico.  There could be 1000 reasons why his brother and family went to Mexico.</p>
<p>I am sure that he didn&#8217;t go to get <a href="http://www.mywalldecals.com/">vinyl lettering</a> in Mexico because he can get it right here in the US.  And he probably didn&#8217;t go to Mexico because he couldn&#8217;t get in divorce mediator either.  The worst-case scenario, the family was killed or kidnapped.</p>
<p>If they were killed or kidnapped, whoever did it will need a <a href="http://www.ykacrim.com/">Bucks County criminal lawyer</a>.  Because neither of these crimes would require <a href="http://www.ykacrim.com/white-collar-attorney.html">Philadelphia County PA white collar crime attorney</a>.</p>

<p><strong>The School Gymnasium</strong></p>
<p>One thing many people will notice in a school gym on the <a href="http://www.sportsgraphicsinc.com/">wall graphics</a>.  They are advertisements for local businesses that sponsor the school sports teams.  Many teams would not be able to afford team uniforms or equipment without the sponsors.  You may have seen <a href="http://www.sportsgraphicsinc.com/column-beam.html">column padding</a> with advertising on it as well.  Remember this is how your team can afford to play against the best because they are the best.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Cited: Time</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-218" style="margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" src="http://www.misspellingdictionary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Hutaree-300x195.jpg" alt="Hutaree" width="257" height="167" />Why would any armed militia call themselves Hutaree?  No one seems to know why this group is the middle of the latest armed militia controversy has this name.  In Montgomery Alabama group that monitors malicious extremists groups, <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/">Southern Poverty Law Center</a>, does not know why because they know very little about Hutaree.  Many bloggers that have been following the raids in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio during the weekend of March 24 and 25 speculated that the name was made up.  Some bloggers believe that it came out of the groups intimate dialect, which includes military ranks with bizarre names of etiology.  In fact, the leader is known as &#8220;Captain Hutaree,&#8221; and apparently is sometimes referred to as &#8220;Joe Stonewall&#8221;.</p>
<p>But while the name Hutaree may have a mysterious flavor, the plot its members were reportedly hatching was part of a familiar form of American paranoia. On Monday, federal authorities charged nine alleged Hutaree members with seditious conspiracy and attempted use of weapons of mass destruction. The government believes the group — which apparently espouses an extreme form of fundamentalist Christianity — may have been plotting to kill law enforcement officers to help spark a broader armed conflict. According to court documents, the Hutaree deemed police &#8220;foot soldiers&#8221; of the federal government — which in turn was part of the New World Order, a perpetual bogeyman of militia groups.</p>
<p>While training, Hutaree members reportedly wear tiger-stripe camouflage uniforms, with shoulder patches bearing a black cross, two brown vertical pillars that form the letter &#8220;H.&#8221; All part, it seems, of &#8220;Preparing for the end time battles to keep the testimony of Jesus Christ alive,&#8221; as a slogan on the Hutaree&#8217;s website declares (it has a background of military fatigue). A photo on the site shows 18 men holding rifles in a wooded area. There&#8217;s also a two-minute YouTube video showing men running through woods, wearing fatigues, shooting rifles.</p>
<p>The group&#8217;s alleged plot appears to have required killing a cop at a traffic stop, or after a faked 911 call. Then, the group planned to attack the funeral of that officer — in order to wreak further havoc by killing even more government and law enforcement officials who would have gathered to mourn. According to court documents, Hutaree members met in February in Lewanee County, Mich., a rural county of barely 100,000 about a 90 minute&#8217;s drive southwest of Detroit, to train for just such an April exercise. The Hutaree website has a message urging members to contact headquarters immediately for an April 24 training exercise. In court documents, federal authorities said the Hutaree leader may have already identified the initial law enforcement target.</p>
<p>So far, the authorities have charged nine alleged Hutaree members. On March 26, some of those defendants appeared in a Detroit courtroom. Among them was David Brian Stone Sr., 45, identified by the feds as the Hutaree leader. Wiry with close-cropped silver hair, he appeared in a green Wayne County, Mich., jail uniform. He barely uttered a word throughout the proceeding. The authorities said the group was apparently formed in August 2008, and was divided into separate units led by Stone and one of his sons, Joshua, 21, who remains at large. The proceeding also included the lone woman in the case so far, Tina Stone, 44, believed to be the Hutaree leader&#8217;s current wife.</p>
<p>The family members who made it into the courtroom gave the impression that Hutaree was more rag-tag than a fearsome killing machine. Brittany Byrant, 18, the fiancée of Stone&#8217;s son David Jr., said the FBI was gruff during the raid, pointing guns to her head and ordering her to put her six-month old child on the floor.</p>
<p>&#8220;He wasn&#8217;t racist,&#8221; Bryant said of her fiancé, as she sat in the last row of the courtroom. &#8220;I have friends who are Arabic and colored, and David didn&#8217;t care.&#8221; Next to her was Donna Stone, the elder man&#8217;s former wife and the mother of David Jr. She said her ex-husband lived in two single trailers — &#8220;a hillbilly double-wide&#8221; — and related how he tried to recruit her into the Hutaree, saying, &#8220;&#8216;You pray as a family, you stay together as a family.&#8217;&#8221; She added: &#8220;Once he got into the big guns, I said, &#8216;No.&#8217;&#8221; She left him.</p>
<p>This group is just another symptom of the continuing militia phenomenon that seems to have gained momentum since Barack Obama was elected as the first African-American President of the United States.  The Southern Poverty Law Center stated that the number of patriot and militia groups increased by 244% last year alone up to 512.  Many of these groups fiercely oppose federal government and are not necessarily racist groups.  They recent health care debate is fueled antigovernment sentiment in recent weeks that is different from the last rise in extremist activity, which was after the 1992 election of Bill Clinton.</p>
<p>&#8220;These shifts are a little more than some people can take,&#8221; says Heidi Beirich, the Southern Poverty Law Center&#8217;s director of research.</p>
<p align="center">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><strong>My Take:</strong> This should make the politicians stop and think.  If there is an increase in extremist groups that are against the government, maybe that&#8217;s because there&#8217;s something wrong with the government and these people want to make it noticeable.  Of course, they may not be going about it the right way, the government might want to take a look at themselves.</p>
<p>These people go through all kinds of military and stealth training to be prepared.  That includes<a href="http://www.lockpickersmall.com/"> lock picking practice</a> and target practice.  That means renege on maneuvers they carry guns and <a href="http://www.lockpickersmall.com/lockout-tools.html">lock tools</a>.  Of course, if they&#8217;re caught carrying lockpicks, they may have need for <a href="http://www.davidanber.com/">Cornwall criminal lawyer</a> because they are termed burglary tools if they don&#8217;t have a locksmith license.</p>
<p>I have heard that many of these extremist groups make money selling guns and drugs, which means they would need of <a href="http://www.davidanber.com/html/ottawa-criminal-law-and-toronto-ontario-criminal-defences-in-court-if-arrested-defense-criminel-a-la-tribunel.php">Toronto drug lawyer</a> if caught.  This new group doesn&#8217;t seem to fit that category.  One thing is for sure the leader is going to need a divorce lawyer.  To make a joke, I doubt that they will ever get disability if they are injured on the job even if they hire a Social Security disability attorney.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Cited: Daily News</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-187" style="margin-right: 10px;" src="http://www.misspellingdictionary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Horndog-Teachers-300x225.jpg" alt="Horndog Teachers" width="252" height="189" />In early December, 2 romance language instructors were caught by a school janitor in an empty Brooklyn high school room in a state of undress.  The classrooms were empty because the students at James Madison High School in Midwood were watching a talent show in the auditorium.  According to sources, Alini Brito and Cindy Mauro were busy at this time speaking the international language of love.</p>
<p>The janitor stumbled on French teacher Mauro, 34, and Brito, 30, a married Spanish instructor, and tattled to school officials on Nov. 20.  Both tenured teachers were removed from the classroom and sent to the Education Department &#8220;rubber rooms&#8221; while they&#8217;re investigated for misconduct, sources said.</p>
<p>The episode is the talk of the school. Students even set up a Facebook group to discuss the shenanigans &#8211; and it already has more than 500 fans.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now you guys wished we installed cameras in our classrooms after all hmm?&#8221; wrote one student.</p>
<p>Janitor Robert Colantuoni refused to comment Tuesday. &#8220;I can&#8217;t talk about it, I&#8217;m sorry,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Brito&#8217;s husband, reached by phone, said he was unaware of the accusations, but denied them.</p>
<p>&#8220;The school district has not informed my wife of these allegations and they are untrue,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Students said both teachers were popular.</p>
<p>&#8220;[Ms. Mauro] was pretty fun,&#8221; said junior Eddie Ramirez, 18.</p>
<p>&#8220;She dressed like a teenage girl &#8211; she&#8217;d wear low-cut tops, shorts, three-quarter length jeans. She was kinda sexy.</p>
<p>&#8220;You could see that she was the kind of person who would flirt.&#8221;</p>
<p>Students said Mauro dyed some of her hair pink over the summer and has an array of sexy tattoos: a sun on her lower back, a flower on her leg, and a star on her foot.  Brito opted for more demure attire.</p>
<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s pretty,&#8221; said one 17-year-old who took French with her.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mrs. Brito was good-looking. Oh, yeah!&#8221;</p>
<p>A 16-year-old sophomore said Brito was a teacher students would come to with problems.</p>
<p>&#8220;She usually dresses elegant, looks smart,&#8221; he said. &#8220;She&#8217;s good-looking. And she was friendly, not flirty, just friendly.&#8221;</p>
<p>Students said gossip about the romp was flying through the school, where staff members were trying to keep a lid on it.</p>
<p>&#8220;The teachers don&#8217;t even want you to bring it up because they say they&#8217;ll get in trouble if we&#8217;re talking about it in class,&#8221; Eddie Ramirez said.</p>
<p>&#8220;They just say, &#8216;Let it go.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>Teachers and administrators at James Madison would not comment yesterday, but the Education Department confirmed the probe.</p>
<p>&#8220;There was an incident in the evening when there was a school performance,&#8221; department spokeswoman Margie Feinberg said.</p>
<p>The two teachers were reassigned pending the outcome of an Education Department investigation.</p>
<p>The teachers, now called the &#8220;Horndog High&#8221; teachers, might want to dust off their resumes.  Both Alini Brito and Cindy Mauro are to be charged professional misconduct according to the city’s Office of Special Investigations.  This news comes three months after they were busted naked together in an empty classroom.  Department of Education officials said March 30 the allegations have now been substantiated.</p>
<p>The two tenured teachers were yanked from their classrooms and immediately sent to the so-called &#8220;rubber room&#8221; pending the outcome of an investigation.</p>
<p>&#8220;They face disciplinary action,&#8221; spokeswoman Margie Feinberg told the News, though she wouldn&#8217;t provide details about the incidents.</p>
<p>James Madison High School has became known as &#8220;Horndog High&#8221; after the scandal was exposed by the Daily News in December.  Students even set up a Facebook group to discuss the shenanigans which took place Nov. 20 while they were watching an after-school talent show in the auditorium.</p>
<p>According to sources, it now appears that a third teacher, Allison Musacchio, a social studies teacher, may have had an inappropriate relationship with a male student and is also under investigation.</p>
<p align="center">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><strong>My Take:</strong> It is one thing to have a fling in an office, but in a classroom?  Teachers should know better!  Teachers know that anyone can walk into a classroom at any time.  Yes, I know that might add to the excitement and enjoyment, but when that someone is a child, no!  I always thought that teachers stayed in the classroom to clean the chalkboards for the next lesson.  In this case, I don&#8217;t think they were even thinking about Whiteboards.</p>
<p>I hope those teachers have a good <a href="http://www.blochchapleau.com/">criminal lawyer Englewood CO</a>, because they are going to need it.  The reason being, they might be charged with contributing to the latency of minors.  And losing their jobs will be the least of their concerns.  Do teachers sign contracts before they start teaching in a school?  If they do, they may want to hire a <a href="http://www.brownsteinjustice.net/commercial-and-business-litigation.php">West Palm Beach FL contract attorney</a>.  But I doubt that it will save their jobs.</p>
<p>Brito may even be looking for <a href="http://www.brownsteinjustice.net/">Wellington FL divorce attorney</a>, especially now that her husband knows about the affair.  Cheating on her husband doesn&#8217;t show much for her morals, does it?  Teachers are supposed to set an example for their students.  What kind of example have these teachers set for their students?  If this had been a car accident, they would just contacted <a href="http://www.blochchapleau.com/pi.asp">Denver car accident lawyer</a> and that would be the end of it.  But this was no car accident, it was worse.</p>
<p align="center">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>

<p>Have you been caught up in the legal system and need an experienced <a href="http://www.donnellydefense.com/">Manasquan NJ criminal defense lawyer</a>?  Let&#8217;s face it, being arrested, whether for juvenile crimes, shoplifting, or simple traffic ticket violations, can be an alarming experience.  Even if you need a <a href="http://www.donnellydefense.com/white-collar.htm">Monmouth County fraud lawyer</a>, you need to consult with an attorney to get your questions answered.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Cited: ABC News</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-182" style="margin-right: 10px;" src="http://www.misspellingdictionary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Phoebe-Prince-300x225.jpg" alt="Phoebe Prince" width="255" height="191" />A 15-year-old girl supposedly killed herself because of nine Massachusetts teenagers who have been charged with &#8220;unrelenting&#8221; bullying according to prosecutors on March 29.  Two other teenagers charged in this case were also charged with statutory rape</p>
<p>Phoebe Prince, a recent Irish immigrant, hanged herself Jan. 14 after nearly three months of routine torment by students at South Hadley High School, via text message, and through the social networking site, Facebook.</p>
<p>Prince, a freshman, was reportedly harassed by older girls who resented her dating an older football player. Her death shook the town of South Hadley and prompted the Massachusetts legislature to pass a law introducing an anti-bullying curriculum in the state&#8217;s public schools.</p>
<p>Northwestern District Attorney Elizabeth Scheibel said Prince&#8217;s bullying was the result of a romantic relationship she had with one of the male suspects that ended weeks prior to her suicide.</p>
<p><strong>For those who would like to make your divorce easy on their children . . .</strong> You need to contact a <a href="http://www.lorenzanalegal.com/">Georgetown divorce attorney</a> that meticulously prepares every single case for trial just to avoid problems.  You need an attorney who will become intimately familiar with your case.  With few exceptions, divorces are complicated and can be emotionally challenging for all parties involved.  Because of the variety of legal and personal issues involved in a divorce or legal separation you need the counsel of a highly qualified <a href="http://www.lorenzanalegal.com/divorce-attorney.html">Austin TX divorce law attorney</a>.</p>
<p>Scheibel called Prince&#8217;s suicide &#8220;the culmination of a nearly three-month campaign of verbally assaultive behavior and threats of physical harm.&#8221; In at least one instance she was attacked when a girl pelted her with a soft drink can.</p>
<p>&#8220;The investigation revealed relentless activity directed toward Phoebe, designed to humiliate her and to make it impossible for her to remain at school,&#8221; Scheibel said. &#8220;The bullying, for her, became intolerable.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Nevertheless, the actions — or inactions — of some adults at the school are troublesome,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>The district attorney said school administrators knew of the bullying but none would be charged.</p>
<p>Prince hanged herself in her home, days after accepting an invitation to a winter school dance and only months after emigrating to the small western Massachusetts town from Ireland. Her younger sister found Prince&#8217;s body in the stairwell leading to the family&#8217;s second-story apartment.</p>
<p>Six of the teens will be indicted on charges connected to Prince&#8217;s suicide. Three of the indicted students are girls, charged with violating Prince&#8217;s civil rights, criminal harassment and disturbing a school assembly.</p>
<p>Two of the indicted students, a 17-year-old male and an 18-year-old male, will also be charged with statutory rape. Criminal complaints were filed against three other students.  Of the six indicted students, three are still students at the school and three were expelled in February.</p>
<p>&#8220;These students&#8217; lives have also been dramatically altered, and they won&#8217;t be graduating from South Hadley High School,&#8221; Principal Daniel T. Smith said at the time.</p>
<p>Prince Family Has Not Spoken Publicly</p>
<p>&#8220;What her family and friends from both sides of the Atlantic grieve is the loss of the incandescent enthusiasm of a life blossoming,&#8221; the notice read. &#8220;She enjoyed life with an energy only the young possess.&#8221;</p>
<p>This was written in a death notice it was printed in the Springfield Republican newspaper.  The family of Phoebe Prince has not spoken publicly about her suicide so far.</p>
<p align="center">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><strong>My Take:</strong> I can tell you, from experience, that any kind of bullying is bad.  As a child, I was overweight and the kids were relentlessly teasing me in and out of school.  What is truly amazing is that even when I grew up, as a young adult, children and adults would still tease me.</p>
<p>Like any young girl, I tried to look pretty.  I even used <a href="http://www.bellafloria.com/">natural beauty products</a>.  However, this did not make any difference and the teasing would continue.  Finally, as a young adult, I learned to ignore the teasing.  Unfortunately for Phoebe, she was unable to ignore it and it got the best of her.  I believe this to be the fault of not just those teenage boys, but their parents as well.</p>
<p>I believe that the parents should be held responsible just as those teenage boys are.  And if the law had the same idea, the parents would need <a href="http://www.rossgreenlaw.com/">San Francisco CA criminal attorneys</a> just as their sons do.  Teenage boys shouldn&#8217;t be charged with murder or statutory rape; they should be getting in trouble for driving under the influence or breaking city or state curfews.  Then they would only need a <a href="http://www.rossgreenlaw.com/">Riverside car accident attorney</a> and not a criminal attorney.  And young teenage girls should only be worrying about <a href="http://www.bellafloria.com/">eco friendly beauty products</a> and not what everybody else thinks of them.</p>

<p><strong>Abuse</strong></p>
<p>Our troubled economy has driven stress levels of very person to the limit.  And those levels could bring on abuse to family members or friends either at home or in a care facility.  If you or a loved one has suffered abuse at a care facility then you need to contact a <a href="http://www.dallimarino.com/new-york-elder-abuse-lawyer.html">Long Island nursing home abuse lawyer</a>.  If you know an elderly person who has suffered abuse, then send them to a <a href="http://www.dallimarino.com/new-york-elder-abuse-lawyer.html">Queens Elder abuse lawyer</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Cited:  AP </strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-69" style="margin-right: 10px; border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.misspellingdictionary.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/LA-Street-Gang-1-300x205.jpg" alt="LA Street Gang 1" width="236" height="161" />Notorious LA street gang members were accused of terrorizing a neighborhood for years as well as killing a sheriff&#8217;s deputy when targeted for a raid by hundreds of law enforcement officials on September 22.  A series of early-morning raids conducted by local police and federal agents were conducted to find key members of the Avenues street gang.  The gang claims a section of northeast Los Angeles as its &#8220;territory&#8221;.  This resulted in a massive federal racketeering indictment detailing criminal activities for more than decade of 90 suspects.</p>
<p>Officers in full body armor were seen at dawn, September 22, at a blocked-off staging area at the Dodger Stadium parking lot, where suspects were being processed at a portable booking area as media helicopters hovered overhead.  Scores of search warrants were served at 4 a.m. from Los Angeles to Kern County, and almost all suspects were in custody within three hours, said Los Angeles police Deputy Chief Sergio Diaz.</p>
<p>There is &#8220;ironclad evidence of the crimes,&#8221; Diaz said at the staging area.  &#8220;Our goal is to &#8230; move these people out, occupy this community and support the law-abiding people that deserve to live in dignity here.&#8221;</p>
<p>Aside from murdering rivals, dealing drugs, graffiti tagging and other crimes, the gang is accused of making threats and carrying out acts of violence against police officers, culminating in two attacks that rocked the law enforcement community last year.</p>
<p>The first of these, on Feb. 21, 2008, saw Avenues gang members open fire with handguns and an AK-47 on Los Angeles police officers. Police shot back, killing 20-year-old Daniel Leon, whose nickname was &#8216;Clever,&#8217; and injuring another man.  Then on Aug. 2, 2008, off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff&#8217;s Deputy Juan Escalante was shot dead in front of his parents&#8217; home northeast of downtown.</p>
<p>Even before the killing, authorities were investigating the Avenues, but his death increased the urgency of the operation. Earlier this year, police charged three men in Escalante&#8217;s death and a fourth suspect remains at large.</p>
<p>The indictment details several possible motives for the murder. Carlos Velasquez, one of the men accused of killing the deputy, was heard in a wire-tapped telephone conversation telling another Avenues gang member that he killed Escalante in retribution for the death of Leon, nicknamed “Clever.”</p>
<p>“Clever took one with him,” the indictment states Velasquez said.</p>
<p>The 222-page indictment also alleges Avenues members posted inflammatory remarks on Web sites, including “Avenidas don’t get chased by the cops. We chase them,” and, “Avenidas don’t just hurt people. We kill them.”  Members of the largely Hispanic gang would also spray paint racist threats around neighborhoods to intimidate black people, according to prosecutors.</p>
<p>“This indictment attacks a criminal organization that has terrorized a community for generations,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Brunwin, the lead prosecutor in the case. “With all of the information collected over the past year, we assembled an indictment that led to dozens of arrests this morning and will make a significant difference in the neighborhoods in northeastern Los Angeles.”<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-71" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" src="http://www.misspellingdictionary.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/LA-Street-Gang-2.jpg" alt="LA Street Gang 2" width="224" height="198" /></p>
<p>The September 22 operation marks an ongoing focus on the Avenues gang, which gets its name from a series of streets running through the area.</p>
<p>In June 2008, another federal indictment took aim at the Drew Street clique of the gang. Prosecutors said Drew Street was the most active and violent clique within the Avenues and it produced significant drug-sale revenues for the Mexican Mafia, a prison-based gang that oversees much of Southern California’s street gang activity.</p>
<p>Several of the clique&#8217;s alleged leaders were arrested as a result of the investigation.  However, according to the indictment, the Mexican Mafia attempted to reorganize the Avenues’ control of northeast Los Angeles by stopping the rivalry within the gang and appointing new leaders.  The prison system is unable to prevent incarcerated Mexican Mafia leaders from communicating with street gangs on cell phones that are smuggled into the prisons or the passing of folded notes to visitors.</p>
<p align="center">_____________________________________</p>
<p><strong>My Take:</strong> The police will never get rid of street gangs as long as the community ignores the children who need family support.  The young men and women who join gangs do so because it gives them a sense of family and belonging.  It gives them people home they can trust and rely on.</p>
<p>Every city and community in the country and around the world will continue to have gangs until we can alleviate this ‘simple’ problem.  A <a href="http://www.ludwigklein.com/">Los Angeles court reporter</a> can easily tell you what they have heard in trials involving gang members.  They are usually between the ages of 12 and 17 and they come from broken homes.  Those broken homes have drugs, alcohol and violence in them.  Right now, the <a href="http://www.ludwigklein.com/">SoCal court reporting</a> system should have plenty of information on who came from a broken home and who did not.</p>
<p>Of course, it will not happen overnight or even the next year or two.  It will take years for people to realize that we cannot &#8220;not get involved&#8221; with those who live around us.  Getting involved can be dangerous, but it can also be very rewarding.  You could save somebody&#8217;s life!</p>
