Really???? University Of Chicago Student Found Dead And Decomposing Inside Dorm Room After Several Days!

How the hell did no one know this kid was day for almost a week?! University Of Chicago Student Found Dead In Dorm Via USAToday Staff and students at the University of Chicago have been horrified to learn that a student lay dead in his dorm room for an unknown amount of time until the smell of decomposition was noticed. It’s not clear when 20-year-old Nicholas Barnes died, but before his body was found, face-down on the floor on Saturday afternoon, it had been eight days since he used his key card to enter the university residence, reports the Chicago Tribune. But school officials note a key card isn’t required to gain access at all hours of the day, so the time span could have been shorter than that. An autopsy failed to reveal the cause of death but police say foul play is not suspected. Toxicology testing still needs to be carried out. Barnes, a Pittsburgh native, was a third-year student specializing in Germanic studies, and the school says it is “making every effort to understand the circumstances surrounding” his death, NBC Chicago reports. Students say they are disturbed that Barnes’ death could have gone unnoticed for so long. “It’s just strange,” says a freshman from Tennessee. “How the hell was he there that long? That’s frightening.” Not exactly an environment conducive to learning… Image via Shutterstock

People Aint Isht: Man Popped By One-Time After Abandoning Newborn Baby Wrapped In Newspaper At Gas Station

Poor baby. Man Abandons Baby At Gas Station He wrapped the innocent baby up in newspaper and threw her away like garbage. How cruel. According to My Fox Orlando: The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an incident in which a newborn was found abandoned at a DeBary, Fla., gas station. The baby girl was discovered unclothed and wrapped in newspaper at the front door of the DeBary Food Mart on South Charles R. Beall Blvd. A man who was in the area said he heard the baby’s cries, then picked her up and found a towel to wrap her in before flagging down a newspaper deliveryman who called 911 around 2:22 a.m. The man who first found the baby has now been identified as Ralph Garlick, Jr. and has been arrested on charges of knowingly giving false information to law enforcement during an investigation. Police say that although Garlick is not the father, the baby belongs to his girlfriend. She gave birth to the baby early Monday morning at an apartment complex in Orange City. Garlick said that he was trying to bring the baby to a safe location because his girlfriend didn’t want to keep it. The mother has been located and is currently at a hospital being examined. Charges may be filed against her as well. When deputies arrived at the scene this morning the newborn had the umbilical cord still attached. The cord appeared to have been tied off with a shoe string. Garlick initially identified himself to deputies as Charles Garlick, using the name of his dead brother. After questioning by Sheriff’s investigators, Garlick admitted lying to deputies about his name and the circumstances of Monday morning’s incident. The baby was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando and doctors say the baby appears to be in good condition. Thank God the baby survived. Volusia County Sheriff’s Office

Samantha Scheibe, George Zimmerman Girlfriend: Did She FAKE Pregnancy and Assault Story?

In the aftermath of his arrest Monday afternoon, sources close to George Zimmerman say he was lied to and framed by girlfriend Samantha Scheibe. Zimmerman insiders say she may have faked her alleged pregnancy to keep him around, then framed him when she realized he was leaving her. According to a 911 call placed by Samantha Scheibe , he threatened her with a shotgun, smashed a glass coffee table and forced her out of their house. Zimmerman, in his own 911 call (below), says she told him that she was pregnant but wanted to raise the baby alone, he agreed, and she flipped out. Now TMZ cites sources claiming that George made it clear to Samantha he was leaving Florida, and her, before the pregnancy bombshell dropped. Samantha revealed that she is six weeks pregnant, allegedly, as he tried to break it off … which he now believes was a lie devised to change his mind . George then agreed to make a child custody and support deal (which he says she asked for), but was still going to bounce. That’s when she lost it. Things came to a head when George was packing his bags to leave, according to Zimmerman’s camp, and she made up the gun scenario as revenge. Police arrested Zimmerman following the domestic dispute. With her alleged pregnancy, he is facing felony charges. If George’s side of the story proves accurate, however, that could go away in a big hurry. Either way, it’s the latest in a series of brushes with the law for Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the 2012 Trayvon Martin slaying back in July. He was also served with divorce papers while in jail by estranged wife Shellie Zimmerman, who had been struggling to locate him for some time. Gotta take advantage of the circumstances, right?

NCIS Promotes Emily Wickersham as Ziva’s Successor

Emily Wickersham is joining the cast of NCIS as a series regular starting November 19, when she debuts as Ziva’s successor, Eleanor “Ellie” Bishop. The actress was originally slated to appear in three episodes, with the possibility of being upped to regular status as a full-time replacement for Cote de Pablo. Producers confirmed today, however, that Wickersham was promoted to NCIS series regular – even before her new character has even been introduced. “[Emily Wickersham] is proving to perfectly compliment the NCIS team,” said show-runner Gary Glasberg. ”Her energy and enthusiasm is contagious.” “Great things are planned for Bishop and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her,” he added, noting that his intention was never to “replace” Ziva David. While she will undoubtedly be considered Ziva’s successor because of the circumstances, she will be developed into a notable character in her own right. Calling her “unique and quirky and fun,” Glasberg said, “hopefully people embrace her and feel like she is a new element to this group and a new part of moving it forward.” Wickersham, whose first episode airs Tuesday, November 19, fills an empty series regular spot vacated by Cote de Pablo’s exit on NCIS Season 11 Episode 2 . CBS calls Bishop “a mysterious mixture of analytic brilliance, fierce determination and idealism who specializes in international threat assessment.” She’ll be introduced when the SecNav is bugged in a security breach that it turns out “Bishop described in exact detail two years ago in a threat analysis report.” “Working side-by-side with Gibbs and the team,” the press release states, “Bishop cross-examines the case file to help determine who is behind the crime.” Are you excited for her debut on NCIS?

We Want Justice: U.S. Attorney To Reopen Investigation Into Georgia Teen Kendrick Johnson’s Death

This young black man’s family needs closure. U.S. Attorney Promises Another Investigation Into Georgia Teen’s Death There is something real fishy in Kendrick Johnson’s death. We just hope this investigation is more thorough than the last one. According to CNN: Nearly 10 months after their son died, the parents of Kendrick Johnson are finally getting what they’ve been asking for: another investigation into the teen’s mysterious death in the gym of Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. Michael Moore, the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia, said Thursday that federal authorities will investigate the circumstances behind the death of Johnson, whose bloody body was found inside a rolled-up gym mat on January 11. Johnson’s family suspects the 17-year-old was murdered and that someone has tried to cover up evidence in the case. While warning his jurisdiction is limited as a federal prosecutor, Moore said that after lengthy review of evidence collected by authorities and the family’s own investigator that “sufficient basis exists” to warrant a formal review of the facts. Should evidence gathered in the investigation warrant criminal or civil rights charges, he said he would recommend them. “I will follow the facts wherever they lead. My objective is to discover the truth,” he said. In addition to suspicions of a coverup, the family’s lawyer has also raised civil rights concerns, questioning whether officials in the predominantly white county took the investigation of an African-American teenager’s death seriously enough. Authorities say they did. “We’re happy that a fresh pair of eyes is starting to look at Kendrick’s case,” Kendrick’s father, Kenneth Johnson, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Thursday. “We’re just waiting on the truth to really come out.” CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin called the announcement “a significant development for this family and this case.””Now you have the resources of the federal government, in particular the FBI,” she told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “With that type of resources directed at this investigation, there will be more answers to be found.” What’s done in the dark will always come to light.

Walmart Worker Fired For Helping Woman Fight Off Attacker in Parking Lot

A former Walmart worker says the retail giant fired him for trying to help a woman from being attacked in the parking lot of a southeastern Michigan store. Kristopher Oswald, 30, tells WXYZ-TV that the Hartland Township store managers gave him papers saying they were dismissing him for “policy violations.” Fired Walmart Worker Oswald says he was on break at 2:30 a.m. Sunday. He saw a man grabbing a woman and asked her if she needed help. The man began attacking him. According to Oswald, he was able to get on top of the man, but two other men started attacking him. County sheriff’s deputies arrived to halt the fight. A spokeswoman for Bentonville, Ark. corporation said that while the management team understood Oswald’s intentions, his actions violated company policy. Walmart’s reasoning on the papers states that “after a violation of company policy on his lunch break, it was determined to end his temporary assignment.” Oswald only began working for Walmart seven weeks ago and wouldn’t have been considered a permanent hire until a 180-day probation period ended. Oswald acknowledges that Walmart has policies against workplace violence to prevent employees from assaulting co-workers or tackling a shoplifter. Yet he believes that given the circumstances – imminent danger and self-defense – he had no choice, and added, “I will always do the right thing.” When asked if he would take his job at Walmart back if it were offered to him, Oswald sighed, hesitated and then said that he wasn’t sure about that. UPDATE : After the story went viral, Walmart offered him his job back . A spokesperson said after reviewing the facts, Oswald’s actions do not warrant termination. No word if he intends to return to work.

Glee Recap: The Quarterback

After news broke this summer that Cory Monteith had died ,  Glee fans began to wonder just how the show would go on in his absence. Tonight,  Glee paid tribute to the late star  and his character in what might be one of the most emotional episodes of television we’ve seen in quite a long time. Here’s a recap of the tragic action: The episode takes place three weeks after Finn Hudson’s funeral as the glee club gathers to say their own goodbyes. There was no mention of how Finn Hudson died, only that he had.  In true  Glee fashion, characters paid tribute to Finn in song. Amber Riley’s vocals are sorely missed around the McKinley choir room. Tina still can’t get a reasonably story line.  Burt and Carole were heartbreaking. ( It was all heartbreaking. ) Without Finn around to tell him he’s a good person, Puck has decided to join the Air Force. Santana plans never to return to McKinley.  Considering the circumstances, everyone in the cast was amazing, especially Lea Michele as Rachel. What did you think of tonight’s  Glee tribute to Cory Monteith? Be sure to head over to our  Glee review for a more in-depth discussion of “The Quarterback.”   So moving! Kind of manipulative Just very uncomfortable to watch View Poll »

What Was She Smokin’? Jada Pinkett-Smith Reveals Past Struggles With “Many Addictions,” Talks Divorce

Jada Pinkett-Smith has had a very revealing 42nd birthday week… The actress took to her Facebook to reveal how she’s matured and learned to deal with life’s obstacles. Via People reports : It looks as though Jada Pinkett Smith received some valuable presents upon turning 42 recently: Specifically, the gifts of reflection and inspiration. The actress and wife of Will Smith has taken to Facebook to discuss publicly her “many addictions” as well as divorce, friendship, love and happiness. “Yesterday I turned one year older, and I reflected on where I have been and where I am now,” Smith wrote last Thursday on her personal page, which has nearly four million likes. “What I learned about myself is this, when I was younger I was not a good problem solver, meaning I had a very difficult time dealing with problems in life. I had many addictions, of several kinds, to deal with my life issues, but today, at 42, I have my wisdom, my heart and my conscience as the only tools to overcome life’s inevitable obstacles.” Though she did not address what types of addictions haunted her in the past, Smith, who has long battled rumors of an marriage problems and even a 2011 separation, did address her thoughts about divorce in “a letter to a dear friend” on Sunday. “You came to see me last night to tell me that you have decided to get a divorce. Last night I only listened, but this morning I woke up with a hope for you,” Smith wrote. “For the past five years, I have been meeting with elders who have been married 25+ years to get understanding from many perspectives as to what marriage and love is all about.” Smith continued in her post: “Almost all the couples have said that at some point in their marriage they have stumbled upon inevitably difficult moments that called for a break … My hope for you is this, that you consider taking the route that some of our elders have taken in giving your marriage some space and time before the drastic decision of divorce. Answers to big questions need time to find lasting truth vs the truth of the moment. After this process the answer may be the same … but you may also find that spark that could save and rekindle your marriage.” And on Tuesday, Smith wrote powerfully about why some people stay with those who treat them badly. “To me, the answer is simple,” Smith wrote. “They stay because they don’t believe they deserve to be treated better, and the moment one truly believes they deserve better … they do what it takes to change their circumstances which may even mean … leaving because being treated badly becomes … intolerable.” We’re gonna assume since she’s saying this was a past issue that Jada has overcome her addictions, but do you find Jada’s Facebook posts to be a good thing or do you think she’s oversharing?
