Anyway, it's not technically "holding them back" its more like, making the school have to try harder to succeed and compare to the other schools. It's not really a smart kids school. Just go to UNF. Religious affiliation doesn't hold the school back unless perhaps it's inclusive like Bob Jones or Patrick Henry. Flagler is reasonably priced for a private school. It wouldn't seem so to me. You'd have to guess those episodes would be canned also under the equal time provision. Both series are also in syndication at present.

He gets the award for the following. TAMPA - Investigators say a Tampa Bay Buccaneers player broke into a pregnant woman's home, hit her in the face and pushed her into a wall in a dispute over whether he is the baby's father. Lionel Theron Gates, 25, who was on the Bucs' practice squad last season and remains under contract, was arrested at a.

Friday on charges of burglary of an occupied dwelling, battery on a pregnant woman and criminal mischief, jail records show. At 11 p. Thursday, Gates kicked in the front door of Peggie Lavender's apartment just north of Gunn Highway near the Veterans Expressway, deputies say. He broke a big-screen television, another television, an interior door, a bedroom door and made a hole in the bedroom wall, deputies say.

The specifics of the argument were not made public. Lavender, 28, was not hospitalized, said sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter. Gates, a seventh-round draft choice for the Buffalo Bills, was on the Bucs' practice squad last season but did not appear in games.

He was re-signed to a one-year contract after last season and is expected to enter training camp as one of several players vying for one of three running back spots.

Only animals assault a pregnant woman. Irv said the error is especially unfortunate because it is at such a high-profile intersection. The city will put up a corrected sign tonight. Lee did you ever think of how the Ken Deys of the world will feel now? Our Florida tax dollars at work. A court stenographer who was jailed and then placed on house arrest for failing to complete a transcript, admitted to a misdemeanor criminal contempt charge Thursday.

Ann Margaret Smith, 44, of Lauderhill, admitted that she violated court orders by not completing the trial transcript of a child rapist and as a result delayed his appeal for a new trial. It all breaks down when the court reporter doesn't do the transcript.

Without you doing your job, no one else in the justice system can. She worked on the transcript in jail. After four days, Greene placed Smith on house arrest until she finished the job. The transcript is from the trial of Damion Winston Foster, who was convicted of raping a 2-year-old Pompano Beach boy.

In April , Foster was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences without parole. On Thursday, Greene ordered Smith into a one-year diversion program that includes monitoring and community service. Greene also ordered Smith to comply with all requests for clarification or corrections to the Foster transcript, to complete all future assignments in a timely manner and to meet the April 9 final-extension date for another overdue transcript. Anyone else think our justice system is broke and corrupt any time a judge can hand down sentences like the above?

Tell me where was the trial? Where was the appeal? Child molestors get more rights than this. The whole justice system is corrupt in Broward County and much of the rest of the US. The public puts up with out of control lunatics like Greene until our own rights that are being taken away by one idiot having a temper tantrum. God help anyone who appears in a Broward County courtroom. Today's winner is Marcus Einfeld. After a long-running investigation that has attracted nationwide publicity, police laid 13 separate charges of perjury, perverting the course of justice and other offences against former judge and human rights advocate Marcus Einfeld.

A Sydney newspaper last year sparked the massive police investigation into the use of statutory declarations to avoid speeding fines after revealing a woman blamed for driving Einfeld's car had died three years before the offence. The police investigation found people had also used a scam to blame another dead person, or a man living in another state, after their cars were photographed speeding or committing traffic offences.

A Sydney court last August dismissed a speeding charge against Einfeld when he provided a declaration that he had loaned his car to an old friend from the United States on the day of the offence. A Sydney newspaper which attempted to verify Einfeld's story later found the woman had died in a car accident in -- three years before Einfeld's car was photographed speeding in Sydney. Einfeld, who has previously denied any wrongdoing, was bailed to appear in court in April.

The offences he is now charged with carry sentences of up to 14 years in jail. As TFM has pointed out many times, some of those with the most disrespect for the law are those in positions of enforcing it. Marcus Einfeld is today's Knucklehead of the Day. From the Orlando Sentinel - Troopers hit the jackpot Wednesday when they arrested a man driving a methamphetamine lab on wheels, who had drugs tucked away in his armpit, grew marijuana in a tub and was on probation violation for murder.

Records at the Florida Department of Corrections indicate McComas served more than six years in jail for a murder charge and currently is under a year probation. Florida Highway Patrol troopers at p.

During the routine traffic stop near mile marker , troopers discovered that McComas had an outstanding warrant for his arrest from Suwannee County for violation of probation for second degree murder. FHP called the Brevard County Sheriff's Office for assistance after a search of McComas' vehicle revealed paraphernalia and chemicals used in manufacturing methamphetamine.

Also found in the RV were two rifles, ammunition, four marijuana plants growing in a bathtub and other drug-related items. While officials booked McComas at the jail, a baggie containing meth fell from his armpit. I wonder what Mr. McComas defense strategy will be at trial. Anyone have suggestions? Grace wouldn't normally be considered a longshot. She is the KN Champ plus a former winner of the Vare trophy.

When healthy, I doubt there are more than four better players on tour than Grace Park. However Grace has been injured for much of the last two years. She had her worst season ever in Kind of reminds of what happened to Se Ri Pak in and We all know what happened to the Korean Golf Queen in On the plus side for Grace, she had a top 20 last week at the Safeway tournament in Arizona.

That included a third round That's the type of play that could make Grace a winner this weekend. Any of these ladies could be jumping into the pond after Sunday's final round. Grace Park is definitely South Korean. She has lived in the US since age 11, but considers herself Korean. John Antonini is just one more clueless idiot in the golf media. Doug Ferguson writes about the obvious or some would say realistic pick this weekend. No doubt about it, Lorena Ochoa is playing sensational golf and has to be considered the favorite.

Reminder- Michelle Wie is not playing this week. She never came closer to winning a major than one year ago in the Kraft Nabisco Championship. The Mexican star tied an LPGA major record with a 62 in the opening round, only to carelessly throw away shots over the weekend. And despite a birdie-par-eagle finish to force a playoff, she left Mission Hills empty after losing to Karrie Webb in a playoff.

She trailed Annika Sorenstam by 3 shots going into the final round of the Samsung World Championship on a course where Sorenstam had never lost and was going after a record sixth victory. Despite such daunting odds, the fearless Ochoa fired at flags and closed with a 7-under 65 to win by 2.

And it allowed her to truly believe that being No. Perhaps the time is now. Ochoa can move to No. There is little to suggest she is not the favorite. She is coming off a six-victory season that allowed her to sweep all the major awards. And she is coming off a victory last week against a strong field at Superstition Mountain in Gold Canyon, where she birdied four of the last five holes.

So far, and right now, she's playing some superb golf. So I'm not surprised that the gap is smaller and smaller. In her fifth year on tour, about the only thing Ochoa, 25, has not achieved is winning a major. Her first decent chance came two years at Cherry Hills, a grueling test for the U.

Women's Open. Ochoa was among the early starters and was poised to post a score of 3 over - the winning score that day - until she hooked her tee shot on the 18th into the water and stumbled to a quadruple bogey. Recently I blogged about the new water restrictions in South Florida. We're in the midst of a drought once again. No question about it, water conservation is required right now. Some how the City of Riviera Beach didn't get the memo. City taxpayers could foot the bill for the incompetence.

Don't you just love Florida? The problem: They're the city's sprinklers. Spokeswoman Rose Anne Brown blamed it on bad timing, saying a city worker took longer than expected to turn off all the sprinklers before the 8 a. As a result, she said, several sprinklers were still spraying the median along Blue Heron Boulevard as late as 9 a. The city is taking steps to keep it from happening again, Brown said. But she said a lot of the sprinklers are old and lack timers, so they have to be turned on and off manually.

Brown said the city already has discussed it with the district and she doesn't expect any fines. The district imposed the restrictions last week amid a drought that shows no signs of ending as the region nears its hottest, driest months. They generally limit all users to three days of irrigation per week and ban sprinkling after 8 a.

Labels: Florida , Government. Some news from Ohio. When is the ACLU going to sue claiming the defendant's civil rights are being violated? A man and a woman accused of scamming stores out of millions of dollars have been banned from the courthouse cafeteria after a police officer said the two were spotted lifting food.

Chuck Duffy. Duffy said Joan Hall, 65, loaded a takeout lunch into a plastic bag and set it atop a newspaper rack near the checkout counter.

Then, he said, Roger Neff, 75, moved the lunch to the top of a trash can, where they waited for a few minutes, then left with the lunch. Judge Nancy Fuerst banned them from the cafeteria during the trial. Edward LaRue, Neff's attorney, said on Wednesday that he was prohibited by the judge from talking about the trial or what happened in the cafeteria. Prosecutors said Hall masterminded a scam involving revolving-door department store returns, switched sales tags and phony identities.

Neff, who prosecutors say is her longtime boyfriend, is a co-defendant in the case. Labels: Legal Stuff , Silly News. Detectives are trying to find the owners of a Cadillac Escalade SUV who might have met with Trenton's mom, Melinda Duckett, in the week before the 2-year-old's reported abduction on Aug. According to authorities, a witness told them a woman resembling Melinda Duckett met the couple at a construction site on U.

Highway 27, less than a mile north of the Florida's Turnpike entrance ramp and just north of Plantation-at-Leesburg. The couple, described as an Asian or Hispanic man and woman in their late 50s to early 60s, drove a light silver or light gold SUV, possibly with a New York license tag.

The Escalade SUV may have been a model built between and The witness told detectives that woman had a small child with her and she placed a blue or black bag on the hood of her vehicle. Trenton was reported missing days later from his bedroom in his mother's Leesburg apartment.

She told police she was in another room watching a movie at the time. Melinda Duckett, who police labeled the prime suspect in the case, committed suicide Sept. Anyone with information is asked to call the Marion County Sheriff's Office at or Leesburg police at Please continue to pray for this boy and all his family.

Today's winner is Jun Ducat. MANILA AP — A man who took a busload of children and teachers hostage from his day-care center in Manila on Wednesday freed them after a hour standoff that he used to denounce corruption and demand better lives for impoverished children.

Clutching dolls, toys and backpacks, the children began filing off the bus shortly after 7 p. After the children disembarked, Ducat — a year-old civil engineer who has staged attention-grabbing stunts in the past — put the pin back in the grenade and surrendered. White candles had been lit near the bus, on Ducat's request. Some were placed under the yellow police tape used to cordon off the area; police and onlookers clutched others. Ducat apologized to his students and to police, but cautioned authorities to stick to their promises to provide the children with a good education.

Manila police district chief Danilo Abarzosa said Ducat will be charged with 32 counts of illegal detention and abduction — each count is punishable by up to 12 years in prison — along with illegal possession of explosives and illegal possession of firearms.

What a nut! Endangering over 30 lives for a dumb political stunt. Hopefully Jun Ducat will spend of his life in jail where he belongs, but first I make him today's Knucklehead of the Day.

At least nine were hospitalized and at least one person died in the crossing. The dilapidated to foot single-mast sailboat ran aground a short distance north of Hallandale Beach Boulevard and A1A shortly before 7 a. The rickety boat and its human cargo quickly drew a crowd of onlookers. TV cameras showed a number of passengers jumping into the rough surf and swimming a short distance to the nearby shore. Some appeared weak, disoriented and seasick. All were taken to a nearby Hallandale Beach fire station where officials said they counted people, including at least two teenagers and one year-old.

It is usually a couple of score. For those familiar with Haitian smuggling, they usually come to the US after a stopover in the Bahamas. Bush and a Republican-controlled Congress to secure our borders.

And yet, and yet But this isn't a midnight run. This isn't a go-fast speeding across the Gulfstream. It's a sailboat in broad daylight drifting onto Hollywood Beach. In full view. With TV cameras running.

I wouldn't be blaming Bush or the Coast Guard so fast. This news from three months ago flew underneath alot of radar screens. Coast Guard, one of the key lines of defense in the Florida Straits on homeland security, drug smuggling and migrant interdictions, took eight of its 10 Key West-based patrol cutters out of action indefinitely Thursday because of structural problems. The decision, announced by the Coast Guard's top commander, Adm.

Thad Allen, who flew to Key West to tell crews personally, will create a hole in surveillance and law enforcement of the Florida Straits at a potentially critical time, with the failing health of Fidel Castro.

That was on December 12th and I don't know if any of the cutters have been back into service since. All in all, I'm not surprised today's event doesn't happen more often. It's ideas like this that make being a masochist a requirement for living in Florida. The change would offer the privilege of the fast ride for anyone willing to pay.

The idea is a long way from becoming reality, and faces stiff opposition from Broward County legislators. Someone tell me how I will be even partly converted into a toll road without some kind of construction work having to be done to the highway? I know there is the Sunpass gadgetry, but to record the use of a HOV lane, some kind of road work is going to have to be done. On a highway that is overburdened with traffic already and has been in constant state of under construction for at least a decade.

Just whip me people if this legislation ever becomes law. The Marine Corps has announced a ban on large, garish tattoos. Jeremy Slaton's right elbow to his wrist, spelling out the word "Death. The Marines are banning any new, extra-large tattoos below the elbow or the knee, saying such body art is harmful to the Corps' spit-and-polish image. Slaton and other grunts are not pleased.

They commonly get their forearms inscribed to remember fallen comrades, combat tours or loved ones, and often ask for exotic designs that incorporate the Marine motto, Semper Fi, or "Always faithful. David Nadrchal, 20, of Ponoma, who made an appointment to get an Iraqi flag and his deployment dates etched onto his lower leg.

They are slowly chipping away at us. Similar designs on the lower legs will be forbidden as well. So will very large tattoos on the upper arm, if they are visible when a Marine wears his workout T-shirt. Small, individual tattoos will still be allowed on the arms and legs. The Marines already ban them on the hands. Nadrchal's devotion to body art calls into his question his devotion to the Marine Corps. Is body art more important than your country?
