Woman cleared of felonies in MySpace suicide case
Woman cleared of felonies in MySpace suicide case
By Dan Whitcomb and Alex Dobuzinskis LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A suburban mother who prosecutors say drove a love-struck 13-year-old girl to suicide by tormenting her with a fake MySpace persona was acquitted on Wednesday of the most serious charges against her. Lori Drew was found guilty of three misdemeanor counts warhammer time cart in the high-profile case, which made worldwide headlines and prompted calls for social networking sites like MySpace to crack down on such activities. She was cleared of three felonies by the U.S. District Court jury, which deadlocked on a fourth count of conspiracy. Drew, who created the fake profileAir Jordan 13 after her daughter and neighbor Megan Meier had a falling out, showed no reaction as the verdicts were read and declined to answer questions from reporters as she left the courtroom. The Missouri woman will face a sentence ranging from probation to threerunescape powerleveling years behind bars for the misdemeanor convictions. She could have been sent to federal prison for up to 20 years if she had been convicted on the felony charges. Prosecutors say Drew and others created the fake MySpace persona of a 16-year-old boy to woo Meier for several weeks, then abruptly ended the relationship and said the world would be better off without her. Meier hanged herself in October 2006, just hours after she had read those final messages. Prosecutors claimed that Drew, her daughter and a teenage employeeAir Jordan 14 created the profile to embarrass Meier publicly and get back at her for saying bad things about Drew's daughter. Juror Shirley Hanley told Reuters outside of court she and her fellow panelists cleared Drew of the more serious charges because they could not be sure who typed the MySpace messages that so upset Megan. EXPERTS SEE NEW LAWS Hanley, 59, said the teen's death made the case an emotional one, rs2adding that during deliberations, "You fan your eyes to try to keep tears from falling." "This is about justice," Tina Meier, Megan's mother, said after the verdict. "It's justice not only for Megan but it's justice for everybody who has had to go through this with the computer and being harassed." Experts have said the indictment, which was handed down in Los Angeles after Missouri authorities declined to prosecute Drew, was a first of its kind and was an awkward fit for the federal statute on which it was based. "I'm not surprised at all at the verdict. It's what prosecutors commonly call a compromise verdict," University of Southern California law professor and former federalAir Jordan 15 prosecutor Rebecca Lonergan said. "The thing about this case that really bothered members of the public is the teenager's suicide, and the involvement of a grown woman in (allegedly) causing that suicide," she said. "And the main problem is that the charges weren't about the suicide. They were about computer hacking, essentially." Lonergan said she had already heard from members of Congress who wanted to write new laws that specifically address cyber- bullying and harassment. A spokesman for MySpace said the site Air Jordan 13did not tolerate cyber-bullying and had cooperated with prosecutors. "MySpace respects the jury's decision and will continue to work with industry experts to raise awareness of cyber-bullying and the harm it can potentially cause," MySpace Chief Security Officer Hemanshu Nigam said in a statement.

Citi rescue plan in the works
Sources say Treasury and Federal Reserve working on plan to stabilize the troubled bank.
By David Ellis, CNNMoney.com staff writer Last Updated: November 23, 2008: 7:48 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Federal regulators on Sunday were reportedly working toward a rescue plan for Citigroup, whose stock has plunged in recent days over fears of its exposure to toxic mortgage assets. Details remained unclear, but the plan reportedly centers around a government guarantee of some of Citigroup's loans. Under such an arrangement, runescape 2the government would back loan-losses above a certain level. The goal: Restore confidence in Citigroup's viability. An announcement could come as early as Sunday evening. Calls to Citigroup were not immediately returned. Citigroup (C, Fortune 500) shares lost more than half Air Jordan 13their value last week amid concerns about the underlying health of the bank. The announcements that the bank would cut more than 50,000 jobs and that its largest shareholder would raise his stake in the bank provided little assurance to jittery investors. As of Friday's close, Citigroup shares had dipped below $4 a share, cheap runescape golda level not in more than a decade. Citigroup stock is down 87% so far this year. Should federal regulators step in to prop up Citigroup, it would represent yet another major move by the U.S. government to salvage the ailing banking Air Jordan 14sector. In mid-October, the Treasury Department injected $25 billion into Citigroup and an additional $100 billion into eight other major U.S. financial institutions in an effort to try and unlock frozen credit markets and bring some stability back to the Air Jordan 15financial system. The collapse of a bank the size of Citigroup, which boasts more than $2 trillion in assets as of the end of the third quarter, would deliver another blow to the credit markets and the already fragile psyche of investors given the company's size and globalwarhammer items reach in more than 100 countries.

Finger-pointing begins as Senate nixes auto vote
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Democratic Congress, unwilling or unable to approve a $25 billion bailout for Detroit's Big Three, appears ready to punt the automakers' fate to a lame-duck Republican president. Caught in the middle of a who-blinks-first
Jordan 18 standoff are legions of manufacturing firms and auto dealers — and millions of Americans' jobs — after Senate Democrats canceled a showdown vote that had been expected Thursday. President George W. Bush has "no appetite" to act on his own. U.S. auto companies employ nearly a quarter-million workers, and more than 730,000 other people have jobs producing the materials and parts that go into cars. About 1 million on top of that work in dealerships nationwide. If just one of
runescape power levelingthe auto giants were to go belly up, some estimates put U.S. job losses next year as high as 2.5 million. "If GM is telling us the truth, they go into bankruptcy and you see a cascade like you have never seen," said Sen. George V. Voinovich, R-Ohio, who was working on one rescue plan Wednesday. "If people want to go home and not do anything, I think that they're going to have that on their hands." The automakers — hobbled by lackluster sales and choked credit — are burning through money at an alarming and accelerating rate: about $18 billion in
Jordan 17 the last quarter alone. General Motors Corp. has said it could collapse within weeks, and there are indications that Chrysler LLC might not be far behind. Ford Motor Co. has said it could get through the end of 2008, but it's unclear how much longer. For now, however, with the federal emergency loan plan stalled in the Senate, lawmakers in both parties are engaged in a high-stakes game of chicken, positioning themselves to blame each other for the failure. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., scrapped plans Wednesday for a vote on a bill to carve $25 billion in new auto industry loans out of
warhammer powerleveling the $700 billion Wall Street rescue fund. It's really up to Bush's team to act, he said. "I don't believe we need the legislation," Reid said. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson can tap the financial industry bailout money to help auto companies, Reid said, but "he just doesn't want to do it." Not our responsibility, countered the
White House. "If Congress leaves for a two-month vacation without having addressed this important issue ... then the Congress will bear responsibility for anything that happens in the next couple of months during their long vacation," said Dana Perino, the White House press secretary. She said there was "no appetite" in the
Jordan 16administration for using the financial industry bailout money to help auto companies. The White House and congressional Republicans instead called on Democrats to sign on to a GOP plan to divert a $25 billion loan program created by Congress in September — designed to help the companies develop more fuel-efficient vehicles — to meet the auto giants' immediate financial needs. Voinovich and Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., along with Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, were at work on that measure Wednesday, trying to placate skeptical Democrats by including a guarantee that the fuel-efficiency loan fund would ultimately be replenished. "It is the only proposal now being considered that has a chance of actually becoming law," said Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. If an acceptable deal emerges, Reid said it could be
buy runescape itemspassed as part of a measure to extend jobless aid to unemployed workers whose benefits have run out. A vote on that bill is likely on Thursday. Negotiators were discussing a scaled-down aid package of $5 billion to $8 billion to help the automakers survive through year's end. But there was little sign that Democratic leaders would go along. "We have to face reality," Reid said. They are vehemently opposed to letting the car companies tap the fuel-efficiency money — set aside to help switch to vehicles that burn less gasoline — for short-term cash-flow needs. All of which leaves the Big Three bracing for a bleak winter without government help. GM CEO Rick Wagoner told a House committee Wednesday that the downfall of his industry would ripple through communities around the nation.
Jordan 15Pressed by lawmakers, Wagoner wouldn't say precisely when GM would run out of money without a government lifeline, but he disclosed that the company now was burning through $5 billion a month. Still, with the $25 billion emergency package, "we think we have a good shot to make it through this," Wagoner said. Many lawmakers in both parties are now openly discussing whether bankruptcy might be a better option for auto firms they regard as lumbering industrial dinosaurs that have done too little to adjust their products and work forces for the 21st century. The carmakers argue that bankruptcy would devastate their companies, but proponents say it would give them a chance to reorganize and emerge stronger and more competitive. It's unclear, though, whether Democrats controlling Congress are willing to risk being blamed for letting one of the Big Three — symbols of the nation's once-mighty manufacturing sector — go under. Bailout-shy lawmakers got an earful from jittery constituents last month when the House let an early version of the Wall Street rescue fail, sending the Dow Jones industrials tumbling and erasing more than a trillion dollars in retirement savings and other investments. Congress took a deep breath and reconsidered, passing the plan a
Jordan 14few days later. Faced with a similar collapse in the auto industry, the Bush administration might yet decide to step in to help the auto companies, or the Federal Reserve could step in — though both have steadfastly refused to do so. If not, lawmakers have left themselves a contingency plan:
runescape items Come back to Washington in December for yet another postelection session where they might be able to strike the deal that now seems beyond reach. Democratic leaders are planning to gather for an economic conference the week of Dec. 8, noted House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, D-Md. "That is available," Hoyer said this week. "The
Jordan 13 year has not ended."
Associated Press writers Sam Hananel in Washington and Tom Krisher in Detroit contributed to this report.

Air at backs as Bulls set to hit road
Air at backs as Bulls set to hit road
It took only 10 games for Derrick Rose to merit his first statistical link to Michael Jordan. With, ahem, 23 points, Rose became the first Bulls rookie since Jordan in 1984 to score in double digits in all of his first 10 games, leading the Bulls to a Runescape weapons104-91 victory over the Pacers on Saturday night at the United Center. "I'm not [comparable] to him," Rose said. "I'm not even near him right now. I'm too far away. For me to do that, it's nice. But I'm worried about winning." The Bulls concluded their five-game homestand with a 3-2 mark and improved to 5-5, just the third time since Jordan & Co. left town they will embark on their annual extended November trip with a record of .500 or above. And any Bulls fan knows what happens out west: The team is just 6-52 since 1998 on the trip that begins Tuesday night in Los Angeles against the Lakers. "I hear with this road trip coming up, this was a must win," Rose said. Rose had help. Andres Nocioni snapped out of a shooting slump to score 20 points on 9-of-13 shooting. Ben Gordon added 19 points. Also, in just his second game after missing the first eight as he recovered from a dislocated right shoulder, Larry Hughes played solid fourth-quarter mabinogi golddefense on the Pacers' leading scorer, Danny Granger. Hughes had three steals and scored 12 points off the bench. Granger, averaging 24.3 entering, finished with 15 and missed 11 of 15 shots. "The more I'm out there, the more I get into a rhythm at both ends," said Hughes, who played the entire fourth quarter. The Bulls led 87-84 before a 15-3 run in which Hughes scored six, Nocioni five and Rose four. In the third quarter, Rose scored 12 points,Air Jordan 13 including eight straight that featured two of his three three-pointers. "Derrick kind of took over the game," coach Vinny Del Negro said. "He has a calmness about him, the right demeanor. He just keeps coming at you." Rose added three of the Bulls' 15 steals and eight assists in his 40 minutes, his fifth straight at or above that number. Asked if he envisioned playing Air Jordan 18this much, Rose laughed. "Noooo," he said. "I never would imagine this.Air Jordan 14 But things happen. Kirk [Hinrich] is out. People were injured. I just have to suck it up." For the second straight game, the Bulls protected the ball, finishing with just 11 turnovers. They also sank 25 of 27 free throws. But once again, the story was about Rose, who is making the game look easy. "I never thought it'd be anything like this," he said. "I thought it would be kind of hard because we're not used to each other yet. But we have a bunch of cheap runescape goldgood guys. I'm not on a team with knuckleheads or nothing like that. So it makes my job easier because they listen to me and I listen to them." Del Negro just smiled. "There's nothing he's doing I didn't expect," he said.

Taiwan ex-president arrested in graft probe TAIPEI (Reuters)
Taiwan ex-president arrested in graft probe TAIPEI (Reuters) - Former Taiwan president
Chen Shui-bian, a strong advocate of independence from China, was formally arrested on Wednesday
warhammer time cart over money-laundering allegations he has described as political persecution. Chen, 57, president from 2000 to 2008, was detained on Tuesday after being questioned for most of the day. Following a night of deliberation, the Taipei District Court arrested Chen and sent him to jail on suspicion of graft, bribery, forgery,
Air Jordan 14 money laundering and illegal possession of state assets, the court said. Chen denies the charges. Chen's arrest -- the first of a former president in
Taiwan -- and suspicion surrounding others in the case has cast a shadow over his Democratic
warhammer videosProgressive Party, now the main opposition party after its landslide defeat in legislative and presidential elections earlier this year. The party backed him until he left it in August. "The court, after questioning the suspect, believes the suspected crimes to be severe," the district court said. "And there are enough facts to believe there was buried evidence, fabrication, altered evidence and conspiracy among suspects or witnesses," it said in a statement. Chen has cast himself as a victim in the case, saying the aggressive investigation is the result of behind-the-scenes pressure from the ruling Nationalist
runescape power levelingParty (KMT), whose policy of closer ties with China contrasts sharply contentious cross-strait relations under Chen's administration. The list of suspected crimes merge two cases, one involving misuse of a confidential state affairs fund and the other related to money laundering, a prosecutor's spokesman said. Family members and former aides are also being probed. The former first family is suspected of sending at least T$1 billion ($30.4 million) to
Japan, the United States, the Cayman Islands, Singapore and
buy runescape accountsSwitzerland, among other places, local media have reported. The prosecutor's spokesman declined to confirm the amount. Photos of Chen filled the front pages of newspapers on Wednesday, his hands raised in the air to show handcuffs as he left the prosecutor's office
Air Jordan 13the day before. "He's spoken his viewpoint that this is political persecution and a political plot to get him," his lawyer, Cheng Wen-lung, told reporters after the formal arrest. But some analysts disagreed. "They must have hard evidence, and it will hurt the DPP's image for sure," said George Tsai, a political science professor at Chinese Culture
Air Jordan 15University in Taipei. "I don't know if it will cause social unrest or not," Tsai said. "We might see minor demonstrations."
