Help Premature Babies With The March of Dimes!

Kelly and I are once again raising money for the March of Dimes to fund research for saving premature babies. Those who know me know our daughter Hallie was born eleven weeks premature. She may not be with us today if it wasn’t for the miraculous advances in medicine that the March of Dimes helps fund.

We are truly grateful to the March of Dimes and to all those who have donated to help further this lifesaving research. Should you wish to sponsor us for this year’s WalkAmerica (on April 22nd), you can donate online here. You can also join us for the walk if you’d like. It’s all for a good cause: raising money to help premature babies get a healthy start.

Thanks once again for your generosity!

Crimestoppers Report in Lacrosse Case Mirrors Changing Story

As my earlier post suggested, the evidence of rape in the investigation of the Duke Lacrosse team appears to be dwindling every day. The N&O noted the same doubts are now appearing in the Crimestoppers reports:

In an April 3 news release offering cash rewards for information, CrimeStoppers coordinator Cpl. David Addison wrote, “The victim was sodomized, raped, assaulted and robbed. This horrific crime sent shock waves throughout our community.”

Tuesday at 11:16 a.m., Addison e-mailed the same release, but modified the first sentence to read: “The victim alleges that she was sodomized, raped, assaulted and robbed.” The second sentence calling the incident a “horrific crime” was deleted.

Eighteen minutes later, an amended CrimeStoppers release was sent. The only change was that “the victim” was now referred to as “the complainant.”

Mike Nifong, are you listening?
