On Sunday night Dateline MSNBC aired an episode of You might be rich where they discovered a man was owed $1,046,000 when he only expected to recover about $50,000 doing his own research. In fact, the show has put up a website where you can go and enter your details and find out for yourself if the government owes you money.

It looked like things were going to be okay after the indoor practice facility collapsed on Saturday. Today, we learned things were not. Cowboys scout Rich Behm is paralyzed from the waist down after his spinal cord was severed in the accident. In a statement from the team:

“Scouting assistant Rich Behm (33) sustained a fracture to the Thoracic spine (10^th Thoracic vertebrae). The fracture caused a severing of the spinal cord at that level causing permanent paralysis from the waist down. He underwent surgery to stabilize the fracture last night and remains in stable condition at Parkland Hospital.

Special teams coach Joe DeCamillis (43) sustained a fracture of one of his cervical vertebrae (C-7/T-1).  He remains in stable condition without paralysis at Parkland Hospital. Surgery to stabilize the fracture is scheduled for Monday morning.

A new song by American country music singer John Rich, expressing anger over the Wall Street bailouts, home foreclosures and the destruction of the auto industry, has been gaining in popularity with listeners. A video of Rich performing the song during an appearance on a New Jersey radio station has been viewed more than 300,000 times on Youtube, and the track has risen to number 12 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

Rich is one half of the successful country music duo Big ‘N’ Rich and has composed or produced songs for a number of popular country singers including Gretchen Wilson, Faith Hill and Wynonna Judd. Rich is a well-liked, award-winning musician with a large audience. His release of a song protesting the conditions confronting the working class under the impact of the economic crisis, a song not typical of his career, is of some significance.

“Shutting Detroit Down” is direct and to the point, if somewhat ham-fisted. Rich sings about the fate of workers whose benefits have been slashed after a lifetime on the job. In one verse, he sings “My granddaddy worked hard in that plant most all his life, now his pension plan’s been cut in half and he can’t afford to die. It’s a crying shame, cause he ain’t the one to blame.” It isn’t hard to understand why so many have cheered Rich’s song at a time when unbelievable amounts of money have gone to bailout banks and corporations while workers have been forced to suffer enormous losses for a crisis not caused by them.

1. The popular tale is that 420 is the police radio code or criminal code for someone holding or smoking grass.
2. We actually didn’t find any truth to that tale but we did learn that California has two different 420 codes the first -California Penal Code 420 is a misdemeanor obstructing entry of public lands, and California Family Code 420 distinguishes A wedding ceremony.
3. There are 420 active chemicals in the marijuana plant when in all actuality there are 315, and that number changes for different types of pot plants.
4. Another theory is that tea time in Amsterdam is told to be at 4:20, when it’s actually at 5:30. Hmmm… way off.
5. The most common is that 420 is a national cannabis holiday -April 20th is the National Pot Smokers Day. (Not an actual holiday to “regular” folk)
6. 5. The infamous German ruler Adolph Hitler’s birthday falls on April 20th but in reality the number 420 started out as a time, not a date.
7. 6. And the disturbing date of April 20th is the day of the Columbine school shootings, but again a magical number that was started in the 70’s, and was most likely created by peace, love, and harmony folk. So I don’t think that is where our three digit code came from.
8. In all sense if you love smoking pot, rolling joints, hitting a bowl, or glue your face to a nice big water bong I’m sure no matter what the 420 community.

Back in 1990, I covered the Grateful Dead and Deadheads for High Times. At a New Year’s week show in Oakland, I received a flyer that talked about 420 – both smoking at 4:20 and celebrating as a group on 4/20. High Times published that flyer in the May 1991 issue. The author of the flyer contended that 420 was a police code for “marijuana smoking in progress.” For the next five years that was the accepted definition of 420.
Here’s what the flyer said:

“420 started somewhere in San Rafael, California in the late ’70s. It started as the police code for Marijuana Smoking in Progress. After local heads heard of the police call, they started using the expression 420 when referring to herb – Let’s Go 420, dude! After a while something magical started to happen. People began getting stoned at 4:20 am and/or pm. There’s something fantastic about getting ripped at 4:20, when you know your brothers and sisters all over the country are lighting up and tokin’ up right along with you. Now there’s something even more grand than getting baked at 4:20. We’re talking about the day of celebration, the real time to get high, the grand master of all holidays: 4/20, or April 20th. This is when you must get the day off work or school. We are going to meet at 4:20 on 4/20 for 420-ing in Marin County at the Bolinas Ridge sunset spot on Mt. Tamalpais. Just go to downtown Mill Valley, find a stoner and ask where Bolinas Ridge is. If you make it to Marin you will definitely find it. Helpful Hints: Take extra care that nothing is going to go wrong within that minute. No heavy winds, no cops, no messed-up lighters. Get together with your friends and smoke pot hardcore.”
In 1998, a person calling himself Steve Waldo contacted High Times claiming he and five friends of his (”The Waldos”) had coined the term while they all attended San Rafael High School in Marin Country north of San Francisco in the early 1970s. He had proof (letters, posters, banners) that they had come up with the term. So High Times named the Waldos the founders of 420.
However, the Waldos hadn’t conceived the idea of a stoner holiday on 4/20. That came from the Deadheads and has taken on a life of its own over the years.

The number 420 is not just for telling time or a shorter way to write out April 20th. 420 happens to be a very sacred popular pot smoking phrase used in almost every marijuana, weed head, toke taker, bowl burner, bong sucker, joint roller, blunt smoker, grass growing, pot junkie… basically to all of the marijuana Smoking community.
There are many myths and legends about where exactly the 420 meaning originated from. We did some research and here is what We found (of course any true 420 single or couple would have heard of these theories already!) and for those who are still virgins to the single 420’s community Knock yourself out with these eye brow raising terms.

Waterboarding is a form of torture[1][2] that consists of immobilizing the victim on his or her back with the head inclined downwards, and then pouring water over the face and into the breathing passages. By forced suffocation and inhalation of water the subject experiences drowning and is caused to believe they are about to die.[3] It is considered a form of torture by legal experts,[4][5] politicians, war veterans,[6][7] intelligence officials,[8] military judges,[9] and human rights organizations.[10][11] As early as the Spanish Inquisition it was used for interrogation purposes, to punish and intimidate, and to force confessions.[12]

In contrast to submerging the head face-forward in water, waterboarding precipitates a gag reflex almost immediately.[13] The technique does not inevitably cause lasting physical damage. It can cause extreme pain, dry drowning, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation, other physical injuries including broken bones due to struggling against restraints, lasting psychological damage or, ultimately, death.[4] Adverse physical consequences can start manifesting months after the event; psychological effects can last for years.[14]

In 2007 it was reported that the CIA was using waterboarding on extrajudicial prisoners and that the United States Department of Justice had authorized the procedure,[15][16] a revelation that sparked a worldwide political scandal. Al-Qaeda suspects upon whom the CIA is known to have used waterboarding include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah, and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri.[17][18]

Parents say the services help them protect their kids against predators and also reduce “sexting,” the growing practice of using mobile phones to share sexually explicit text messages and pictures. In 2008, Jessica Logan, a Cincinnati, Ohio, teen, hanged herself after her nude photo, meant for her boyfriend, was sent to teenagers at several high schools, exposing her to ridicule and taunts.

The monitoring programs work like this: Once a child’s phone is equipped with the software, the parent or law enforcement officer creates a list of contacts — close relatives, trusted friends — who are authorized to communicate with the minor’s phone.

Programs such as My Mobile Watchdog and Mobile Spy are becoming increasingly popular with parents as more school-age children are carrying cell phones.

At a news conference this afternoon, Nashville, Tennessee Police Chief Ronal Serpas told reporters that Steve McNair was murdered by his 20-year old girlfriend, who then turned the gun on herself. All the evidence clearly points to a murder-suicide – including the entry and exit wounds and the positions of both bodies. As tragic as it is and as much as friends, family and fans don’t want to believe it, Steve McNair was actually murdered.

McNair’s girlfriend, 20-year old Sahel Kazemi, likely shot and killed McNair while he was asleep on the couch. She shot him once in the head, twice in the chest, then again in the temple. She then positioned herself so that she would fall onto his lap after she pulled the trigger, which is how police found her body.

The monitoring programs work like this: Once a child’s phone is equipped with the software, the parent or law enforcement officer creates a list of contacts — close relatives, trusted friends — who are authorized to communicate with the minor’s phone.

At a news conference this afternoon, Nashville, Tennessee Police Chief Ronal Serpas told reporters that Steve McNair was murdered by his 20-year old girlfriend, who then turned the gun on herself. All the evidence clearly points to a murder-suicide – including the entry and exit wounds and the positions of both bodies. As tragic as it is and as much as friends, family and fans don’t want to believe it, Steve McNair was actually murdered.

McNair’s girlfriend, 20-year old Sahel Kazemi, likely shot and killed McNair while he was asleep on the couch. She shot him once in the head, twice in the chest, then again in the temple. She then positioned herself so that she would fall onto his lap after she pulled the trigger, which is how police found her body.

“My family and I were recently threatened as part of a criminal scheme to extort money. Upon receiving these threats, we reported this extortion attempt to the FBI. While I did not want to make this matter public, I recently learned that the individual behind this extortion attempt has already gone to the media with false, defamatory and outrageous allegations in an attempt to pressure me to cave in to this scheme. I intend to vigorously defend my reputation and the character of my family against any criminal scheme to extort money.”

The coach released a statement through the university last night after being contacted by The Courier-Journal yesterday afternoon.

Bernese Mountain Dog One of four varieties of Swiss Mountain Dog, the Bernese Mountain Dog is the only variety that possesses a long, silky coat. A hardy dog that thrives in cold weather, the “Berner’s” intelligence, strength and agility helped him perform the drafting and droving work in the mountainous region where he originated. Today, this versatile breed participates in conformation, obedience, carting, agility, tracking, herding and therapy work. Like the other Swiss breeds, they are tri-colored, with patches of black, rust and white.

A Look Back
Bernese Mountain Dogs (Berner Sennenhund) originated in Switzerland and are named for the Canton of Bern. Historically, Berners were used as general purpose farm dogs. Their large, sturdy frames and calm, confident temperaments made them ideal for pulling carts to market, driving dairy cattle, watching the farm and acting as companions to farmers.

Right Breed for You?
Farm dogs by heritage, Berners need a moderate amount of exercise as well as consistent obedience training. As a double-coated breed, they also tend to shed, and so require regular brushing. Their gentle, easygoing manner and the need to be close to their people makes them a good fit for families.

Lost – The Story Of The Oceanic 6 Episode. ABC is promoting this week’s episode of Lost as an all-new Lost special, but from last week’s preview it looks suspiciously like an episode of repackaged clips from previous shows. Of course, I guess technically even if it is scenes that have been shown before, they have been repackaged in an all-new way.

According to an ABC promo, Lost: The Story of the Oceanic 6 will both bring new viewers up to date and also be illuminating to current viewers. The episode promises to detail what happened to the Oceanic 6 and the remaining island survivors during the three years after Ben moved the island.

As regular viewers already know, the Oceanic 6 consists of Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun and Claire’s son Aaron. After the Oceanic 6 escaped the island, they made up a lie about what really happened in order to protect the remaining island survivors.

It’s a sad day for Manchester United fans across the world as their beloved football (or “soccer” as I like to call it) team was defeated by Barcelona. The Champions League final ended up with Man U losing 2-0 to Barcelona, who now holds claim to the European Crown.

The Spanish now have captured their third European Cup title and third trophy in their glorious winning season. For 38 year old Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola, it was truly an amazing season. Pep was able to accomplish this with a great team in just his first season – that’s quite a feat for a young guy and a first year coach.

Barcelona had won the title back in 1992 and again in 2006. Pep Guardiola played on the winning ‘92 team, so he gets to have this experience from two sides, which makes it an even great victory.

TV satellite trucks surrounded the gray-trimmed, white ranch home Wednesday as authorities carried out the family, whom police identified as Pablo Josue Amador, 53; his 45-year-old wife, Maria; and their youngest daughters, Prescilla and Rosa, 14 and 13.

A teenage son escaped the shootings uninjured, calling 911 at 5:58 a.m. as he fled the home, police said. Those who saw him regularly along the quiet, modest street of homes could only wonder what happened.

Pablo Amador was a “regular dad” who made music with his children and shared his gift teaching kids to play piano, a man known for a friendly wave and lending a hand to jump-start a car. And those who knew him say they can’t understand why he apparently shot and killed his two daughters, wife and then himself.

Up-and-coming rapper ‘Dolla Bill’ was murdered late Monday afternoon after he was shot in the head at a posh Los Angeles shopping center known as the Beverly Center. His real name was Roderick Anthony Burton II and he was first discovered at just 12 years old by the famous rapper Akon.

Akon worked with Dolla Bill to release his first single called “Who the F*** is that?”; Rapper T-Pain was also featured on the track. What makes this story even worse is that Dolla Bill had just arrived in LA from Atlanta to begin recording his debut album.

Police have a suspect in custody, who is being held at $1 million bail for pending murder charges, reports CNN. The suspect’s name is Aubrey Louis Berry and he is 23 years old. Police caught up with him at Los Angeles International Airport, where he was likely on his way out of the city. The motive in the killing isn’t yet apparent, but I’ll keep you updated as I learn more about this story.

How the Discover Credit Card People are trying to screw me

Thinking about getting a Discover Credit Card? Think you might like to have a Discover Card? There are a lot of credit cards out there and there’s a big difference from company to company as to how they treat you. When considering issues involving consumer credit, revolving credit, online shopping, credit reporting, electronic commerce, banking, and credit card debt, you should choose carefully and wisely. How the company treats you is important, And the folks at discover card suck. I want to use the power of the web to tell my story.

Many years ago my ex-wife, Vicki Stringfellow, got a Discover Credit Card. Discover put my name on it without my knowledge. I knew she had the card, but I didn’t know I was on it. Not only does this reflect on my credit rating, but they keep letting her charge more and more based on the strength of my credit. What they are doing is illegal, but they don’t care because they can get away with it. Or can they?

Research In Motion’s BlackBerry Curve overtook Apple’s iPhone to become the top-selling consumer smartphone in the United States during the first quarter of 2009, according to research published by NPD Group on Monday.

NPD’s monthly “Smartphone Market Update” report, based on online surveys of consumers, now ranks the best-selling consumer smartphones in the U.S. as follows:

1. RIM BlackBerry Curve (all 83XX models)
2. Apple iPhone 3G (all models)
3. RIM BlackBerry Storm
4. RIM BlackBerry Pearl (all models, except flip)
5. T-Mobile G1

NPD attributed the recent BlackBerry sales surge to an aggressive “buy one, get one free” promotion for the phone by carrier Verizon Wireless. It helped boost RIM’s share of the consumer smartphone market 15 percent to capture nearly 50 percent of the market in the first quarter, NPD said in a statement.

2. Apple iPhone 3G (all models)
3. RIM BlackBerry Storm
4. RIM BlackBerry Pearl (all models, except flip)
