“Forensic Evidence” Links Jesse Matthew to Another Student’s Disappearance

A previous report claims that Jesse Matthew was also questioned in the disappearance of another girl in 2002, and now police is claiming that “forensic evidence” belonging to Jesse Matthew matched evidence collected during an investigation of another Virginia Tech student who disappeared in 2009.

Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington, 20, disappeared in October 2009. Her remains were found in January 2010 on a farm in Albemarle County, Virginia.

Police in Charlottesville, Virginia, have charged Matthew, 32, in the disappearance of Graham, who was last seen on Sept. 13 with Matthew. The case has shaken the college town in central Virginia and drawn national attention.

The station said the sources did not detail the forensic evidence, but said it showed that Harrington had contact with Matthew the night she disappeared outside the University of Virginia’s basketball arena in Charlottesville in October 2009.

In a statement emailed to Reuters, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said Matthew’s arrest last week “provided a significant break in this (Harrington’s) case with a new forensic link for state police investigators to pursue.”

Jerry Seinfeld – Jeter “should NOT have played in Boston”

Derek Jeter officially played his last game as a New York Yankee in Boston and although the New York captain received much respect from the Yankees’ biggest rivals, the decision to play in Boston has not been welcomed by some of the Yankees’ biggest fans.

It’s a pretty big issue in the Yanks community — a lot of New Yorkers believe Jeter should’ve hung up his cleats after his last game at Yankees Stadium last week … and NOT played out the final games of the season at Fenway against the Red Sox.

Clearly, Jerry Seinfeld thinks Jeter chose poorly … saying, “He should NOT have played in Boston. You don’t owe anybody ANYTHING!”

Of course, Jeter got a standing ovation in Beantown … with the crowd chanting his name … but according to Jerry, the storybook ending went on a few pages too long.

Standing On The Sidelines, Boehner Wants “Boots On The Ground”

Republicans want nothing to do with the war against the terrorist group ISIS, and they are doing everything possible to avoid the issue all together, even suggesting that the next Congress handle the vote.

Republicans in Congress are standing on the sidelines, but observing from the sidelines does not stop them from pointing and dictating how things should go.

House Speaker John Boehner says the U.S. may have “no choice” but to send ground forces into Syria to battle the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

“At the end of the day, I think it’s gonna take more than airstrikes to drive them outta there,” the Ohio Republican said in an interview airing Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” according to a transcript. “At some point somebody’s boots have to be on the ground.”

Asked if the U.S. should supply those ground forces if no other country would, Boehner said: “We have no choice. These are barbarians. They intend to kill us. And if we don’t destroy them first, we’re gonna pay the price.”

Chelsea Clinton’s Baby Girl Is Here – Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky – PIC

The tweet from the Chelsea Clinton says it all. The baby was born on Friday September 26th at 703PM, and needless to say, all the Clintons – the former President, the former Secretary of State and the former First Daughter – are all proud of their accomplishment. Oh, and so is the daddy Marc… he proud too! 🙂

Remember when Republicans were saying that Chelsea’s pregnancy was fake, a ploy put into place by Hillary Clinton for… whatever reason? Republicans are a vile bunch indeed!

5-Day-Old Boy Accidentally Shot In The Head by Hunters

The 5-day-old boy who was accidentally shot by hunters near Saltsburg Thursday night is more seriously injured than authorities first thought, according to Indiana County District Attorney Pat Dougherty.

“It was originally reported that the bullet had grazed the child’s head, but it had actually penetrated the child’s head,” Dougherty said.

Dougherty said the infant’s father was sitting on a couch at about 7 p.m. Thursday holding the infant when the bullet tore through the window of the home on Elders Ridge Road in Young Township.

The shot came from a .308 hunting rifle, Dougherty said.

Dougherty said the bullet is believed to have come from hunters on private property across the street, and they had permission to be there

They have two children together — daughter Zoe, 19, and son Jordan, 17. (The former American Idol judge also has another daughter from his first marriage).

The soon-to-be former Mrs. Jackson has also requested to go back to her maiden name, Erika Riker.

So far, Randy has yet to comment.

11-Year-Old Cancer Survivor Invents The IV Backpack for Kids

Kylie Simonds, of Naugatuck, Connecticut, was in fifth grade last year when she took a standard classroom assignment — create something to solve an everyday problem — and turned it into something that could help thousands of kids with cancer.

“I came up with it from when I had cancer,” Kylie told ABC News. “When I had chemo, I had to pull around the big IV pack, so I came up with this backpack.

“I remember tripping over all the wires, getting tangled up and having to drag this big thing around,” said Kylie, who underwent months of chemotherapy, radiation and surgeries to beat rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare childhood cancer she was diagnosed with three years ago, at age 8.

“I would have loved this thing for myself,” she said.

The backpack prototype, which won Kylie four awards at a statewide invention convention, includes details like a drip bag protection cage so kids can move around without fearing they will puncture the medicine bag and an IV controller built into the bag to control the bag’s flow rate.

“I worked with my mom and dad to actually make it and my nurses and doctors gave me some tips,” Kylie said. “They were saying it has to be light and portable and there has to be something that protects it if you sit back, so I thought of the metal cage that protects it.”

Republicans Already Promising to Filibuster New Unmentioned Attorney General

It was just a little over 24 hours ago when the United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, announced that he will resign from office by the end of this year. But already, with no other potential nominees mentioned by the President, Republicans are already gearing up to filibuster the new appointee.

With Nov. 4 midterm elections potentially tipping the balance in the Senate, some Republicans immediately called for a delay in the hearings and votes on the new attorney general until January, when the possibility of a GOP majority in the Senate might give Republicans almost total control of the outcome.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) issued a political call to arms for conservatives, saying that outgoing senators should not vote on the nominee during the post-election lame-duck session. “Allowing Democratic senators, many of whom will likely have just been defeated at the polls, to confirm Holder’s successor would be an abuse of power that should not be countenanced,” Cruz said in a statement.

Democrats argued that Republicans should step back and allow Obama to select his own cabinet without GOP obstruction.

“This is going to be the first real test, whether it’s in the lame-duck or early in the new year, whether our Republican colleagues are going to continue to obstruct,” Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Thursday in an interview. “Every president deserves to have his attorney general.”

I don’t know. I don’t believe in ghosts, so I’m still waiting for the scientific explanation for this one. But this, this is quite creepy!

The video is from a police surveillance camera in Espanola New Mexico. Monitoring the CCTV cameras on Saturday night was Officer Karl Romero, who said he witnessed the figure walk across the completely locked parking lot, then it exited through a chain linked fence.
