Lucia de Berk - Released
Wed, 02 Apr 2008 06:50:13 PDT
News I just received from a close friend of Lucia De Berk (Info below) appears to suggest she has just been released from Prison, if true, this is a phenomenal result of a very widely disputed conviction. From the message I received “…We don’t know much more at the moment but assume it’s pending a retrial or review of the proceedings…” Lucia de Berk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warner Has 16 Point Lead Over Gilmore
Wed, 02 Apr 2008 06:51:09 PDT
Rasmussen just released a new poll that shows Mark Warner is leading Jim Gilmore by 16 points in the US Senate race here in Virginia. Although his lead of 55-39 is slightly down from where it was a month ago (57-37), the poll also shows him having a sizable lead among some of the crucial groups of voters. Among Independent voters, for instance, Warner has a huge lead of 65% to 21%. With all of these numbers tilting in Warner’s direction, it shouldn’t be too surprising that that more people vie

Helms Could Land With Dodgers
Wed, 02 Apr 2008 06:53:23 PDT
Paul Hagen of the Philadelphia Daily News says it's likely that Wes Helms will be moved by Saturday, when closer Brad Lidge is set to come off the DL. Hagen suggests the Dodgers as a good fit. Ned Colletti could offer up a player to be named later, or just wait and see if the Phils release Helms. He has $2.9MM left on his contract. The Dodgers had been eyeing Alex Cintron and almost signed Marcus Giles. Helms doesn't quite fit their profile, as he's never played second base.
Whoa There

Interesting conversation over at BeliefNet started by sarcastic lutheran herself, Nadia Bolz-Weber, on the so-called Grassley Six - prosperity preachers under investigation for lavish living and misuse of funds - and the "plank in her own eye." Her view is that, while Jesus would surely "throw up a little in his mouth" at hearing what passes for the gospel in these churches, anybody (including herself) who makes a living on the tithes and offerings of others is on dangerous ground when it comes

CHICAGO - Apr 2/08 - SNS -- International agriculture commodity markets were generally quiet at mid-week, with little fresh demand news to temper speculation about future crop production and demand prospects for major grains and oilseeds.
