First lady to high school grads: Live your dreams

Posted by Jesse OLoghlen \\ May 20, 2013

— First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee high school graduates: Strike your own path in college and life and work to overcome inevitable failures with determination and grit.

Mrs. Obama spoke for 22 minutes to the graduates of Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Magnet High School on Saturday in her only high school commencement address this year. The ceremony took place in the gymnasium of nearby Tennessee State University.

The first lady told the 170 graduates that she spent too much of her own time in college focusing on academic achievements. While her success in college and law school led to a high-profile job, she said, she ended up leaving to focus on public service.

Theyre relying on the technology to get a read on what other law firms are charging, so they can adjust their rates accordingly. And big data is also popping up in law firm human resources departments, where tech-savvy department heads are crunching data on potential new hires in the hopes of coming up with recruits who are truly a good fit.

Guy Who Raped Stepchild: Give Me My Spousal Support

Posted by Jesse OLoghlen \\ May 06, 2013

Warning: This story may make you want to punch something. Ed Abar has filed to have the alimony his ex-wife used to pay him reinstated—even though he was convicted of raping his ex-wifes daughter, CBS 2 of Los Angeles reports. Carol Abar married Ed in 1991, when her daughter was 9. Sixteen years later, her daughter finally told Carol that Ed had been raping her all those years. “He had threatened me that he would kill my mom; he would kill my stepbrothers; he would kill me,” the daughter, who wishes to stay anonymous, recalls. Carol and Ed divorced before he was charged with rape, and since Carol made more money, she had to pay Ed $1,300 a month in spousal support. <

No names were released Tuesday.

About 7:45 p.m., officers responded to a shooting call at J.R.T. Cycles, 2420 SW 29, where they found the employee with a gunshot wound, Lt. Jeff Cooper said.

The employee said he heard a dog barking and found a man trying to steal a four-wheeler. A fight ensued and the man pulled out a gun and fired, Cooper said.

The shooter fled to a nearby house and asked the residents to hide him, but they instead called the police, who arrested him after a short foot chase, Cooper said.

The weapon was not recovered from the shooter, he said.
