I also think it is a reflection of how you feel inside. That been said, i believe that there are no set rules to fashion, everyone needs to find out what works for them.

T.J. Lane Captured: Escaped High School Shooter in Custody

A convicted school shooter who sparked a massive manhunt when he escaped from an Ohio prison Thursday has been caught, officials said.

Thomas "T.J." Lane, 19, was apprehended and returned to the Allen Correctional Facility in Lima, Ohio, according to Joellen Smith, a spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.

Lane, who is serving three life sentences for killing three students at Chardon High School in 2012, escaped along with another inmate from Allen Correctional Institution in Lima, Ohio, at around 7:30 p.m. A dispatcher at the Ohio State Highway Patrol Lane said Lane was taken into custody at about 1:20 a.m. Friday in the area of the prison.

Lane’s escape prompted the school district which runs the high school where he shot dead the three students to cancel classes Friday and offer counselors to rattled students. Lane opened fire on a cafeteria table full of students at Chardon High School on Feb. 27, 2012, killing three students — Demetrius Hewlin, 16; Russell King Jr., 17; and Daniel Parmertor, 16 — and wounding three more, one of whom was reportedly paralyzed.

“Our thoughts and prayers today go out to the families of Demetrius, Russell and Danny and all others affected by the tragedy as well as by the troubling events from Thursday evening,” Chardon Local Schools Superintendent Michael P. Hanlon, Jr. said in a statement to parents.

Lane is serving three life sentences for the shootings. On the day he was sentenced, Lane wore a white T-shirt with the word “KILLER” scrawled on the front and shouted obscenities at the court.

The other inmate who escaped with Lane, Clifford Opperud, 45, is still on the loose, police said. Opperud was serving a 12-year sentence for aggravated robbery, burglary and kidnapping, according to prison records.

Three law enforcement agencies and a helicopter equipped with infrared detection equipment fanned out over the area around the prison looking for the escaped inmates, Ohio Department of Public Safety Director John Born said in a statement. A third inmate also escaped, but was caught shortly after breaking out of the prison, Lima police said.

Los Angeles Fashion District Money Laundering Scheme Busted

Nearly 1,000 law enforcement agents raided dozens of Los Angeles businesses and warehouses Wednesday and seized almost $100 million dollars — some of it packed in cardboard boxes labeled “1 million” — in a bust that federal officials called one of the largest money laundering investigations ever.

“The huge amounts of cash seized shocked even our agents,” said Virginia Rice, a spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which, along with the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration, executed search warrants and arrested nine people. Three other suspects are wanted by authorities.

“Los Angeles has become the epicenter of narco dollar money laundering, with couriers bringing duffle bags full of cash to many of those businesses," Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Dugdale said. In one of three criminal cases uncovered by federal agents during the 16-month investigation, some of the cash was allegedly laundered and sent to the notorious Sinaloa Cartel to pay for the ransom of a U.S. citizen who was being held hostage and was tortured in Mexico, officials said. In another case, agents handed a business owner bundles of cash that was splattered with what appeared to be blood — and which was accepted with no questions asked.

Officials said cash was dropped off at businesses in the garment district, which was then used to pay for products that would be exported to Mexico. Once those goods arrived they were sold to a distributor, who paid in pesos, which would then be turned over to drug traffickers like the Sinaloa Cartel.

Anambra state University renamed Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University

The Anambra House of Assembly on today September 11th passed a bill, changing the name of the state-owned university at Uli to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University.

The bill was passed during the plenary of the legislature in Awka to honour the former Biafra hero.
The decision followed the report of the House Committee on Education which recommended the change of the name. Continue...


Mrs Rita Maduagwu (APGA Nnewi South 2), the Chairman, House Committee on Education, recalled that the bill had been read the second time on the floor of the house on Dec. 17, 2013.
She said that the committee found that the university’s name had been changed before from Anambra State University of Science and Technology and that there were a number of provisions in the extant law that required review.

“After due consideration of facts and information, the committee recommends that the law establishing the university be repealed while a new law aimed at amending the principal law be passed,” Maduagwu said.

Mr Valentine Ayika (PDP Njikoka1) said that the bill was due for passage since it was read second time in December 2013.

Mr Tony Muonagor (APC Idemili North) said that the aim was to immortalise the late Ojukwu and to encourage hard work among the people of the state and Nigeria at large.

Mr Ebele Obi (APC Idemili South) said that the passage was a welcome development.
Mr Obinna Emenakaya (APGA Anambra East) said that the application for the change of name was long over-due since it was meant to immortalise a man who fought and lived for the Igbo people.
The Speaker, Mrs Chinwe Nwaebili, said that the university would be a multi-campus institution located in Awka, Igbariam and Uli.

She said members of the committee on education did a good work and urged others to prove their worth on any assignment given at committee level or otherwise
