Police checking out Hoffa tip in Detroit suburb

DETROIT (AP) ? Investigators will take soil samples from the ground beneath a suburban Detroit driveway after a man told police he believes he witnessed the burial of missing Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa about 35 years ago, police said Wednesday.

Roseville Police Chief James Berlin said his department received a tip from a man who said he saw a body buried approximately 35 years ago and "thinks it may have been Jimmy he saw interred."

"We are not claiming it's Jimmy Hoffa, the timeline doesn't add up," Berlin said. "We're investigating a body that may be at the location."

Hoffa was last seen on July 30, 1975, outside a suburban Detroit restaurant where he was supposed to meet with a New Jersey Teamsters boss and a Detroit Mafia captain. His body has not been found despite a number of searches over the years.

Innumerable theories about the demise of the union boss have surfaced over time. Among them: He was entombed in concrete at Giants Stadium in New Jersey, ground up and thrown in a Florida swamp or obliterated in a mob-owned fat-rendering plant. The search has continued under a backyard pool north of Detroit in 2003, under the floor of a Detroit home in 2004 and at a horse farm northwest of Detroit in 2006.

After Roseville police received the most recent tip, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality used ground penetrating radar on a 12-foot-by-12-foot patch beneath the driveway, said agency spokesman Brad Wurfel.

It found "that the earth had been disturbed at some point in time," Berlin said.

The environmental quality department on Friday will take soil samples that will be sent to a forensic anthropologist at Michigan State University to "have it tested for human decomposition," Berlin said.

Results are not expected until next week.

The FBI had no immediate comment on the new effort in Roseville. Andrew Arena, who recently retired as head of the FBI in Michigan, told Detroit TV station WDIV that all leads must be followed, but he would be surprised if Hoffa is buried there.

(AP) ? Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is airing campaign ads in Wisconsin, making a play to win the state last carried by a Republican in 1984.

Romney hopes the ads, blaming Barack Obama for the federal deficit, can give him an edge in the state which is home to his running mate Paul Ryan and where recent polls have shown him even with the Democrat incumbent.

The former Massachusetts governor is also hoping to force Obama to defend Wisconsin by spending additional campaign money there. Obama carried Wisconsin by 14 percentage points in 2008 and has not aired ads there.

Independent groups backing Romney and Obama are running ads in the state.

Romney, a native of Michigan, also hopes to compete there, which Democratic presidential candidates have carried since 1988.

Obama: Romney's Tax Plan Is 'Bad Math'

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - President Obama mocked rival Mitt Romney's tax cut proposals today, telling supporters in Florida that his opponent's plan is bad math and that he should "get some tutoring."

Mitt Romney and his running mate Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., struggled in separate Sunday show appearances to offer specifics when asked what tax loopholes they would close to help pay for their proposed tax cuts.

"I guess my opponent has a plan, but there's one thing missing from it: arithmetic," Obama said to laughter from the crowd of 6,000 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center.

"They couldn't answer the question of how you already have deficits, you add five trillion dollars in new tax cuts, two trillion dollars in new defense spending and somehow you're going to close the deficit without raising taxes on middle class families?" Obama said.

"They did not take their arithmetic course," he said to laughter from the fired up crowd. "They need to stay after school. They need to get some extra study hall in there. No recess for you."

To reduce the deficit, Romney has proposed raising revenue, not by increasing taxes, but by ending loopholes and deductions for the wealthy. Pressed to explain what loopholes he would close, Romney offered few details in an NBC interview Sunday, saying "that people at the high end, high income taxpayers, are going to have fewer deductions and exemptions."

"We want to have this debate with Congress," Ryan told ABC's "This Week" when asked what loopholes they are going to target. "We want to do this with the consent of the elected representatives of the people and figure out what loopholes should stay or go and who should or should not get them. And our priorities are high income earners should not get these kinds of loopholes."

Vice President Joe Biden warned supporters in the swing state of Ohio today that the Romney-Ryan ticket would take money from the middle class to give tax breaks to the super wealthy. "Ladies and gentlemen, look, all this has a giant price tag, and it's not going to come from closing loopholes for millionaires," he said at a campaign event in Milford. "Folks, when you give these kinds of tax breaks out to the very very wealthy, the money's got to come from somewhere. And guess who? You."

Traversing the battleground state of Florida this weekend, Obama has been hammering his opponents for pushing tax cuts as the cure to all economic woes.

"They've got the same plan they've had for 30 years: Tax cuts, tax cuts, gut a few regulations, and then give some more tax cuts," he said at a rally earlier today in Melbourne, Fla. "Tax cuts when times are good. Tax cuts when times are bad. Tax cuts to help you lose a few extra pounds tax cuts to improve your love life."

Buffalo Bill performer reburied at SD reservation

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) ? The remains of a man who died young while touring the world with Buffalo Bill were hidden for more than a century in an unmarked grave some 1,700 miles from his South Dakota Indian reservation.

Now Albert Afraid of Hawk is returning home. He'll be reburied Sunday in accordance with Lakota tradition, thanks largely to a curious and persistent Connecticut history buff.

Bob Young uncovered records of the Oglala Sioux member's death at a Connecticut hospital after a bout with food poisoning from eating bad corn. A few years ago, Young pieced the details together and reached out to Afraid of Hawk's family members.

"It's something that should have happened a long time ago, but it didn't," said Marlis Afraid of Hawk, 54, whose father, Daniel Afraid of Hawk, is Albert's last living nephew. "... Nobody even questioned where he is buried or where this person is. It was left at that."

Afraid of Hawk began traveling with Buffalo Bill's world-famous troupe known as the Congress of Rough Riders of the World two years before he died at age 20. He was among a rotating cast that helped educate and entertain thousands of spectators eager to hear firsthand accounts of life on the unruly terrain.

Last month, Marlis Afraid of Hawk, Daniel Afraid of Hawk and other relatives traveled to Connecticut from their homes on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota to witness the disinterment of Albert's remains.

Young, president of a museum in Danbury, Conn., had identified the location of Afraid of Hawk's grave at a cemetery there.

"At the start it was just another research project, but each piece I came up with got me more interested," said Young, who was working at the cemetery at the time of the discovery.

Nicholas Bellantoni, the state archeologist for Connecticut, knew the coffin would have long disintegrated, and he prepared the family for the possibility that the acidic Connecticut soil had left little behind. Bellantoni and a team of excavators gently dug a couple of feet into the ground with a backhoe. At about 4? feet, they began getting hits on a metal detector, signaling they were getting closer to nails that had been in the coffin.

Then, once a piece of soil dislodged, bone began to poke out. It was Albert's skull.

"I knew right there that Albert had been preserved, at least in part, and that they would be able to bring Albert home," Bellantoni said.

It was a breakthrough for family members, who had been searching for decades. In the 1970s they even traveled to Washington, D.C., to learn more about Afraid of Hawk's death, returning with a picture but little information.

The team in Connecticut also recovered hair fibers, copper beads from an earring, a copper ring and six handles from Albert's coffin. Bellantoni said he was surprised at how ornate the coffin handles were.

Now those remains are in South Dakota, where a wake and funeral will be held to allow Afraid of Hawk to enter the spirit world.

He was born in 1879, the third of seven children belonging to Emil Afraid of Hawk and his wife, White Mountain. His brother Richard was among the survivors of the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. Afraid of Hawk joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West show in 1898 with a childhood friend from the Oglala Sioux Tribe, and he apparently sent money back to family members living on the Pine Ridge reservation while performing with the show.

Buffalo Bill, whose name was William F. Cody, regularly employed about 50 Native Americans ? mostly Lakota ? during the 30-year run of the show in the late 1880s and early 1900s, said Lynn Houze, assistant curator at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyo.

The shows were made up of 15 to 24 acts, including sharpshooters, races and performances depicting cowboys against Indians. The show helped catapult the American cowboy to icon status, and Cody believed he was helping to preserve the Native American culture, even if they were, at times, presented in a stereotypical manner. Cody encouraged Native American performers to retain their language, rituals and beliefs but often portrayed them as savages attacking white settlers.

"At that time with the reservation system, the government was forcing a lot of the kids to be sent to Carlisle or other Indian Schools. This way, a lot of them were able to continue to be Indian and preserve their culture," Houze said. "He became their friend and was an advocate of theirs."

But life in the show was difficult. Performers arrived in a new city almost daily, setting up camp before putting on one show in the afternoon and another in the evening. After that, they'd pack up and head to the next town.

Other performers? both Native Americans and non-Natives ? who died during the show's run were often buried in the city where they died, Houze said. In the late 1990s, the remains of Chief Long Wolf, also Lakota, were returned after a British woman read about his death and tracked down family members in South Dakota. Long Wolf, 52, died in 1892 of pneumonia while performing in London. He was buried in the same casket as a 17-month-old Lakota girl, Star, who died after falling from a horse while performing in a show.

Marlis Afraid of Hawk said she is relieved that for Albert, the long road home is nearly complete.

"Now everything has come into place," she said.

London 2012: Naas Wins Hearts as Wang Wins Gold

Iraq's Ahmed Naas showed he was the king of celebrations after winning Javelin Throw - F40 silver at the Olympic Stadium.

(PRWEB) September 08, 2012

Iraq's Ahmed Naas showed he was the king of celebrations after winning Javelin Throw - F40 silver at the Olympic Stadium.

The 20-year-old threw a new world record in the class of 43.27m with his fifth effort of the competition, and marked it with a triple cartwheel before falling to his knees.

The celebration was greeted with cheers from the crowd, but the gold medal went to a Chinese athlete.

With his final throw of the competition, Wang Zhiming launched the javelin out to 47.95m to take the title.

Wang, already the Shot Put champion, said: 'It's so exciting. I used to dream about that, but I didn't think this would become true.'

Naas' team-mate Wildan Nukhailawi took bronze in a final which saw nine throws go further than the world record mark coming into the competition of 40.74m.

It was a good morning for the Chinese javelin throwers, with Fu Yanlong winning gold in the F42 class.

Fu threw a world record 52.79m to beat silver medallist Kamran Shokrisalari of Iran, with Norway's Runar Steinstad getting the bronze.

It took China's gold medal haul at the Olympic Stadium to 25.

Ukraine's Oksana Zubkovska won the Long Jump - F11/12 title with a world record 6.60m, with China's Jia Juntingxian getting silver and Anna Kaniuk of Belarus bronze.

Great Britain's Josie Pearson set three new world records on her way to victory in the Discus Throw - F51/52/53 with a throw of 6.58m.

Should We Embed Business Ethics Into All Business Curriculum ...

?

Chuck Gallagher?s Book

Business Ethics as a Core Course in Business Schools? What a novel idea?or do you prefer an Orange Jumpsuit and Handcuffs? ? Motivational Speaker ? Chuck Gallagher Business Ethics and Choices Expert

What a novel idea is right? It seems that what is OBVIOUS sometimes is missed by the masses. Honesty, integrity, and ethics are ? or should be ? the core foundation for which we operate in life. Yet, as Luigi Zingales points out in his article: ?Business School should count ethics as a core course? it appears that all to often those who are at the top of the business food chain seem to forget the core of business fundamentals.

?

So here?s the deal?if your business school isn?t committed to teaching practical ethics then you can?t expect graduates to apply ethics in practical day-to-day applications.? What is practical ethics ? perhaps it?s ethics applied in such a manner that it keeps you out of an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs.

Business Ethics as a Core Course in Business Schools? What a novel idea?or do you prefer an Orange Jumpsuit and Handcuffs? ? Motivational Speaker ? Chuck Gallagher Business Ethics and Choices Expert

I think this is a wonderful idea and it?s a painfully obvious concept. But it would be very difficult to implement. We would have to re-educate massive numbers of business faculty, more than a few of which are going to be doubtful of whether or not ethics has a place in business. There are always a certain number of those believing ?It?s a dog eat dog world out there and you better get used to it.

But that one business class devoted to ethics is what?s holding what?s left of the line and not holding it very well. It?s a poetic and noble gesture much like turning an electric fan toward a hurricane to change its path. We in the world of business can do better and should.
