He's also been charged with mutilating her corpse. Avery made his initial appearance in a Manitowoc county courtroom this afternoon, as his family and that of 25 year old Halbach sat in attendance. A criminal complaint filed today says a state justice department DNA expert has identified DNA from charred human remains found on Avery's property as that of Halbach's. Tuesday afternoon, the prosecution and defense asked the judge for a fair bail. “The state argues that the character and strength of evidence in this case is substantial as alleged in the complaint there has been a DNA match or series of matches implicating Avery in the commission of each of these offenses,” Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz told the judge. Defense Attorney Erik Loy says his client has already proven he’s not a flight risk. “Despite the fact that Mr. Avery knew about the investigation and new he was a suspect, he didn't go anywhere.” Bail was set at $500,000 cash. Avery's preliminary hearing is scheduled for December 6th. Avery has repeatedly told reporters he believes he's being set up because of his pending $36 million lawsuit against Manitowoc county for his wrongful conviction of a sexual assault, which kept him in jail for 18 years. He was released two years ago, after DNA evidence proved Avery was not guilty

"Baby got back" and "My lumps". Might as well get all the sex stuff out there and over with..

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 10:58 AM) Then don't list him on the official program for Soxfest and the website promoting he will be there. I could see the program being printed up far in advance, but the website can be changed. If he knew so far ahead of time, why was he even on the list? Bottom line, if the Sox knew he wasn't going to be there, don't promote him being there. Blame the Sox for that, not Freddy, as you were incinuating.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Nov 20, 2005 -> 06:43 PM) See Soxfest 2004. What a surprise. He was on his honeymoon.. which was planned BEFORE he even signed with the Sox.

Is it to much to ask that the political bulls*** be kept in the political threads..?

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/11/21/camden.crime.ap/index.html Monday, November 21, 2005; Posted: 9:11 a.m. EST (14:11 GMT) CAMDEN, New Jersey (AP) -- For the second year in a row this destitute city of Camden, New Jersey, has been named the nation's most dangerous, according to a company's annual ranking based on crime statistics. Last year, the distinction seemed to hurt city boosters' feelings more than it harmed revitalization efforts. This time, city leaders are offended by the ranking, calling it unfair. "We're doing so many nice things now. It's unfortunate that somebody always wants to bad-mouth Camden," Mayor Gwendolyn Faison said. The city took the top spot last year from Detroit, which remained No. 2 in the most dangerous city rankings, to be released Monday by Morgan Quitno Press. The Lawrence, Kansas-based company publishes "City Crime Rankings," an annual reference book. Listed as the most dangerous cities are: Camden, New Jersey; Detroit, Michigan; St. Louis, Missouri; Flint, Michigan; Richmond, Virginia; Baltimore, Maryland; Atlanta, Georgia; New Orleans, Louisiana; Gary, Indiana; Birmingham, Alabama. At the other end of the scale, the safest are named as: Newton, Massachusetts; Clarkstown, New York; Amherst, New York; Mission Viejo, California; Brick Township, New Jersey; Troy, Michigan; Thousand Oaks, California; Round Rock, Texas; Lake Forest, California; Cary, North Carolina. Development projects Camden, a former industrial city across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, is known for a history of corrupt politicians, drug-dealing and murders. It has been among the Top 10 in the most dangerous city rankings in each of the eight years Morgan Quitno released them. By most measures it is also among the nation's poorest. The state has poured $175 million into the city to spur development projects and take over parts of its government, the city's aquarium doubled in size and a new library and technology center were built. Tourism continues to increase along the river, home to the aquarium, an amphitheater, a minor-league baseball park and a retired battleship. But about 100 fewer prospective students than expected attended Rutgers University's downtown campus last year, something Provost Roger Dennis attributes to the crime ranking and a serial rapist who assaulted women near and on campus last fall. Police are now using computers to try to track crime trends, and more officers are patrolling the city's neighborhoods. Authorities say that has helped drive down the most serious crimes by 18 percent in the first 10 months of 2005 compared with the same period a year earlier. Some residents say their neighborhoods feel a bit safer. "I haven't heard that many gunshots," said Gracy Muniz, 22, a mother of three who lives in North Camden. Critics note that Morgan Quitno's ranking is based on data from last year, when the city of 80,000 averaged a murder a week. Murders from January through October were down by 45 percent compared with the same period in 2004. Scott Morgan, president of Morgan Quitno, said Friday that while the numbers may not be perfect, they are one of the only ways to compare crime in different cities.

TACOMA, Washington (CNN) -- A man accused of taking hostages and shooting six people at a shopping mall Sunday sent a cell-phone text message warning about his rampage to his ex-girlfriend, she said Monday. The woman, Tiffany Robison, said shooting suspect Dominick Maldonado sent the message Sunday morning, six months after they broke up. "He sent me one text message saying that the world is going to feel his anger, feel his pain, that today is the day he's going to be heard," she told CNN's "American Morning." (Watch witnesses describe horror of mall shootings -- 1:52) Police said a man with a semiautomatic rifle opened fire on people inside the Tacoma Mall on Sunday afternoon and then barricaded himself in a music store, taking three employees hostage.

Tears save sick mother from cremation alive Fri Nov 18,10:27 AM ET BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese peasant woman who suffered a brain haemorrhage was left at the undertakers alive for cremation because her family could no longer afford hospital treatment, state media said Friday. ADVERTISEMENT She was only saved by the tears in her eyes. The case is the latest in a series of tragedies illustrating China's stretched health care system and the inability of rural workers to meet spiraling medical costs. You Guoying, a 47-year-old migrant worker from southwestern Sichuan province, was taken for cremation by her husband and children in Taizhou, eastern Zhejiang province, where she worked, the China Youth Daily said. Fortunately for You, the undertaker realized she was still alive when he saw her move and tears in her eyes, the newspaper said. "This is not only a tragedy for the family, but also for society," it quoted Xu Yinghe, a Taizhou official, as saying. "The fundamental reason is the absence of a social welfare system." You was taken back to hospital for further treatment with money donated by sympathetic citizens of prosperous Zhejiang, the newspaper said. "Three days of treatment cost us more than 10,000 yuan," it quoted her daughter as saying, adding that was the sum of the family's life savings. "If there had been another option, who would have the heart to send a member of their own family for cremation while there was still a hope of survival?" The newspaper did not say if the family would face charges. Vice Health Minister Zhu Qingsheng said last December that about half of all farmers could not afford medical treatment when sick. A 42-year-old farmer too poor to afford treatment for lung cancer set off a home-made bomb aboard a bus in Fuzhou, capital of the southeastern province of Fujian, in August, killing himself and another passenger and wounding 30. Also in August, a security guard hailed a hero for fighting off a purse snatcher jumped to his death from a hospital window in south Guangxi province because he couldn't afford the bills. In the late 1970s, 94 percent of China's villagers were covered by cooperative medical schemes. But the collectives were disbanded during market reforms of the 1980s which ended cradle-to-grave welfare for the masses.

Not a fan of the show, and don't listen to it, but prayers for him and his family. Mancow is reporting that someone called in with a name and number of the person possibly responsible. He forwarded the info to the police and they are checking it out.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Nov 19, 2005 -> 01:41 PM) When there was a rumor that the NHL was coming back during that spring, there was a post at WSI from a guy who works or is in the know with Comcast to not to expect as many ST games as there was an order to send the crews back already, with rumors of a deal being struck. There are only like 5 away Hawk games this March though, so I don't know. They don't conflict with one another so what would they have to do with eachother..?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 19, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) Thats what I assumed. Its not like the Hawks are playing when the spring training games are on. Those games weren't competing with anything and I'm sure you'll see most of the games televised on Comcast again this year. Unless Hawk and DJ don't want to broadcast that many games. Exactly... don't see many afternoon games on the Hawks schedule this year, or in the past.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) I guess this is ok. Liked it better when they played in Milwaukee this year (cause I could actually go). Oh well. On a side Spring Training note, it sure would be sweet if Comcast picked up another 20 or so ST games like they did this year. But I doubt it. If I remember correctly, that had a lot to do with the absense of the Blackhawks. Anyways, just sayin. Really.. I don't think it had much to do with them at all. From what I have heard Comcast will pick up as many games as they did last year.

It's gonna get - even more - ugly...

Could have saved a lot of time just naming "The Sox" as one nomination.

OK.. who's the carver..???
