"A search of Calabrese’s residence in west suburban Oak Brook in March 2010 uncovered a certificate for a violin made in 1764 by Giuseppe Antonio Artalli, not Antonius Stradivarius, according to the indictment.... It was not clear if they ever gained access to the house. The government said it searched, but found no violin."

Well.

Of course this is silly. There are people who don't understand how to use it and try to shoehorn a complete traditional slogan or message into 140 characters, but there are others who use it properly to ask questions, create dialog, and point to off-twitter resources like lengthy blog posts.

I'm also not sure who these people are who are replacing other forms of contact. Is there a Congressman with no phone or e-mail contact ability? Of course not. But the immediacy of Twitter or Facebook allows much more flexibility and visibility for interaction.

It's a disruptive technology and it's already changing commercial marketing. It will have an important place going forward. But naturally there are limitations and those who don't understand the best ways to use the technology will have a harder time adapting.

It would be so much more comforting if we didn't have straightforward evidence of police and prosecutors lying outright in numerous cases. It seems to me that under the existing laws, framing someone for the death penalty is murder and should be prosecuted with the death penalty, but of course that would never happen -- sometimes it's a long shot to even get a civil judgement, let alone any sort of malfeasance in office conviction.

Somehow, most countries in the world manage without the death penalty just fine.

In an ideal world, yes, but they were employed by the resort operator -- which with the property sold and out of their possession, has no access to cash. If the employees are in fact owed anything they will probably have to recover it in the resort operator's liquidation or bankruptcy.

The name of the city is not considered offensive. That might have been its actual Indian place name. Having a MASCOT depicting your CULTURE is considered offensive.

Nice move there picking on someone's name as a reason to surmise that they have "issues". We can always count on the utmost maturity in our commenters, can't we?

It's an American Legion civics program (the national program is called Boys Nation). The titles like "Mayor" refer to progressively larger sections in the Ripon College dorms.
