| Now former WCBS anchorman Rob Morrison is finally out of his marital home this week, and his wife Ashley may be one of those women who is lucky to be alive. He allegedly had a long- term pattern of physically abusing his wife, who is a beautiful and intelligent television journalist. Merely a month before this incident, the police were called when he is said to have choked her until she almost passed out. However, she then decided to drop the January complaint, saying that she had exaggerated her accusations. I certainly hope that Ashley, with support from family,

Did Ashley drop her suit because her employer demanded she do so (bad image for a journalist) and because WCBS asked her to so they wouldn´t get a black eye?

Look at the war the left is conducting against honest gun owners who rarely,if ever break the law,compared to their total lack of interest on domestic abuse,which affects a lot more people than shootings do.
Where´s the zero tolerance on domestic abuse compared to a kid in school with a picture of a gun,who gets sent home for an indefinite time?
The celebrity obsessed left has made an icon out of Rihanna (sp) for taking the obnoxious thug Chris Brown back.If you question her behavior,you´re being judgmental.

Maybe Rob Morrison converted to Islam.
That would make beating up your wife OK. Correct?

Hey, PIAPS stood by her man.
Abuse can be physical, mental, and emotional.
Just look at how the left deifies the Klinton´s.

FACT: The great majority of abuse reports are false. FACT: Statistics of domestic abuse are based only on reports, not on evidence.

Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis testified before Congress today that federal officials didn’t share their intelligence on Boston marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsanaev until days after pictures of the alleged terrorists surfaced. Davis told lawmakers the FBI began to share information about their 2011 investigation only after Tamerlan died following a gun battle with law enforcement. Russian officials had flagged Tamerlan Tsarnaev as a possible extremist in 2011. The FBI had investigated him and knew he traveled back to Russia months before the bombings.

A preliminary tally indicates that almost a third of all of the managed bee colonies in the United States — 31.1 percent — didn´t survive the winter. That makes it the fourth-worst winter since 2006. Bee Informed, a partnership funded in part by the Department of Agriculture, released its annual survey of colony deaths yesterday. For the seventh winter in a row, the percentage of colonies that didn´t survive exceeded the "acceptable" range of 14 percent. For the fourth time in those seven seasons, the percentage that didn´t survive was double what scientists consider acceptable.

The European Union, you might have heard, has some pretty serious economic-and-debt problems going on, but don’t you dare accuse them of neglecting the little things. They’ve found the time (and, presumably, the money and resources necessary for the added bureaucracy and enforcement) to attempt to expand further their regulation of the farming industry, as well as outlaw certain seeds that haven’t been explicitly tested and approved. They say they’re just trying to streamline and better the existing regulations, but not everyone’s convinced: The European Commission is reforming the European Union’s plant and animal health legislation

CHICAGO -- When Michael Gore stands, it´s a triumph of science and engineering. Eleven years ago, Gore was paralyzed from the waist down in a workplace accident, yet he rises from his wheelchair to his full 6-foot-2-inches and walks across the room with help from a lightweight wearable robot. The technology has many nicknames. Besides "wearable robot," the inventions also are called "electronic legs" or "powered exoskeletons." This version, called Indego, is among several competing products being used and tested in U.S. rehab hospitals that hold promise not only for people such as Gore with spinal injuries,

Thanks to a 911 phone call and the help of an energetic neighbor named Charles Ramsey, three women who´ve been missing for years are now safe. Cleveland Police found all three women alive in the house of a local 52-year-old school bus driver named Ariel Castro who was arrested soon after the call. (Listen to Amanda Berry´s 911 call here.

It was never meant to be anything more than an inside joke shared by the beloved family of Antonia “Toni” Larroux, who died last week after suffering a stroke. Her tongue-in-cheek obituary was only supposed to appear in local Mississippi newspapers’ print and online editions. But it ended up — through a long and complicated series of events — being posted Saturday in its entirety on The New York Times’ website. And then it appeared seemingly everywhere. “It’s just been a really, really neat thing,” her son, Jean Larroux III, told The Daily News. Much of the obituary was farce,

BOSTON -- Despite more than 100 offers, a Massachusetts funeral director is striking out in his search for a burial location for the body of a Boston Marathon bombing suspect who was killed in a gun battle with police. On Monday, Worcester funeral home director Peter Stefan said he´d received 120 burial offers from the United States and Canada for the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. But he said when he talked to officials in the cities and towns where the graves are located, nobody wanted the body there. Tsarnaev´s mother said she wants her son´s remains returned to Russia.

CLEVELAND -- Three women who went missing separately about a decade ago were found Monday in a home just south of downtown and likely had been tied up during years of captivity, said police, who arrested three brothers. One of the women said she had been abducted and told a 911 dispatcher in a frantic call, "I´m free now." Crowds gathered Monday night on the street near the home where the city´s police chief said he thought Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight had been held since they went missing when they were in their teens

UMass/Dartmouth officials continue to stonewall on the issue of releasing information on the records of four students now in custody in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing. The taxpayers, whose hard-earned dollars keep the place in business, should be outraged. “We are prohibited from releasing such records by [the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act],” insisted school spokesman John Hoey. “Our interpretation of the law indicates that that information is confidential.” Note that little “our interpretation” caveat. As a naturalized citizen, accused Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was eligible both for reduced in-state tuition and for student aid —

Via BuzzFeed, here’s the latest in tolerance from last night’s Piers Morgan show. Mitt Romney spoke at a commencement for Southern Virginia University, whose student body is 92% Mormon, according to Hunter Schwartz, and Romney used his speech to talk about traditional Mormon pro-family values — or really, generic Christian family values. For quoting Psalms — by the way, an Old Testament book common to all Christians and Jews — the panel laughs Romney out of the room as a “religious fanatic”:(Snip for video)The NIV has this as “children,” while the Ignatius Catholic version uses “sons” instead.

We can be judged in many ways. One measure of a civilization’s morality is how it treats those without power. Pope John Paul II once said, “a society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members; and among the most vulnerable are surely the unborn and the dying.” As I write these words 7 women and 5 men are deliberating the fate of a man accused of killing our country’s most weak and most vulnerable.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement. Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W.

British physicist Stephen Hawking has dropped plans to attend a major international conference in Israel in June, citing his belief that he should respect a Palestinian call to boycott contacts with Israeli academics. The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.

Ahead of the Benghazi hearings in which three witnesses are set to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade invited Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters to discuss the issue. Peters was unflinching in his criticism of the “cowardly” Obama administration — and the “establishment media” that aids it. “Is this a national security coverup?” Kilmeade asking, explaining that the witness testimony is expected to say the administration was deceitful in its handling of the situation. “The administration, facing the election, went into panic mode, wanted to contain it,”

The AP called the race for Sanford early in the evening, with the Republican leading Colbert Busch 54 percent 46 percent.
