Body of Teleka Patrick believed to have been found.

[ SOURCE ] The body discovered early Sunday by a fisherman in an Indiana Lake is believed to be missing Kalamazoo Dr. Teleka Patrick, says Jim Carlin, a private investigator hired by her family to assist in the search.

However, Carlin stressed that police have not yet identified the body discovered in Lake Charles in Porter, Ind. around 7:10 a.m. and that his statements only reflect his beliefs.

"That's my position," Carlin said in relation to the identity of the body. "Obviously the family wants to have it confirmed with the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office."

A press release issued by the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office around 2:30 p.m. confirmed a body was found in the lake around that investigators searched as recently as April 1 without finding any clues as to Patrick's disappearance. The release states the identity of the body is currently unknown and Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas said there will be no further comment at this time.

According to a news release issued by Indiana State Police, the body pulled from the lake by members of its SCUBA team was a woman dressed in dark pants and a dark top. An autopsy is scheduled for later this week.

Indiana State Police Sgt. Rick Strong confirmed a body was found Sunday morning on the south side of the lake floating in the water, but said the identity cannot be confirmed until an autopsy is conducted.

"I don't know who was saying she was found," Strong said. "We have not identified her yet."

However, when asked if the body was Patrick's, Strong said it was "a possibility."

"It's what we told (Patrick's) family out of courtesy, is it possible," Strong said. "That's why we called them. But until we do the autopsy, we can't say it's her."

Obamacare 'accomplishing goal,' U.S. uninsured drops to six-year low

I guess the republicans/conservatives who promised doom and gloom will have to now explain why there was no apocalypse and the world did not explode because of the Affordable Care Act...LOL. George Cook AAReports.com

The percentage of Americans without health insurance dipped to its lowest in nearly six years due in part to U.S. President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law, commonly known as Obamacare, according to a Gallup poll released on Monday.

Some 15.6 percent of Americans lacked health insurance in the first three months of 2014, down from a high of 18 percent in late 2013, according to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index survey.

'Obamacare' appears to be accomplishing its goal of increasing the percentage of Americans with health insurance coverage," the report said.

Black and low-income Americans saw some of the most pronounced drops in the uninsured rate, with declines of more than 3 percentage points.

Lt. Gen. Darren McDew to lead Air Mobility Command

Lt. Gen. Darren McDew is slated to take over the Air Mobility Command from Gen. Paul Selva, President Obama’s nominee to lead the U.S. Transportation Command, military sources say.

McDew is currently commander of the 18th Air Force, Air Mobility Command's sole war fighting numbered force, where he oversees 39,000 active-duty Airmen, Reservists and civilians and approximately 1,300 aircraft. He assumed this role in August 2012.

18th Air Force is responsible for providing rapid, mobility and sustainment for armed forces through airlift, aerial refueling, aero medical evacuation.

Gen. McDew was commissioned in 1982 following graduation from Virginia Military Institute. He began his career at Loring Air Force Base, Maine. His staff assignments include serving as a member of the Air Force Chief of Staff Operations Group, serving as an Air Force aide to President Bill Clinton from 1994-1996 and as a Senate liaison for the service.

The general is a command pilot with more than 3,000 flying hours in a variety of aircraft. 

Why pro athletes should not get a pass on throwing gang signs.

There has been much talk lately about gang signs on the field and or court in pro sports due to the situation between the Philadelphia Eagles and DeSean Jackson. In fairness the Eagles have never publicly stated that any gang connections were the reason for waiving DeSean Jackson. the LAPD has also cleared Jackson of being involved in any gang activity.

But back to the gang signs. I believe that athletes whether, pro, college, highs school, AAU, etc should not be throwing up gang signs while playing. I believe that pro players have more of an obligation to set the standard here. Young players emulate everything they do. If Lebron James was shown drinking a glass of milk before every game there would be a milk shortage in the United States within months...LOL.

Players should not be throwing up gang signs for one very simple reason. Gang signs get people killed.

Example, a young boy could be emulating a sign he saw a player making after scoring a touchdown and that gets seen by a real gang member. That gang member confronts the boy to find out what set he reps. The young boy of course reps no set but is now open to a beat down or worse death because he doesn't know how to answer that question.

Pro players have to remember that the majority of youngsters that live in inner cities know of gang culture many or not involved in gang culture. Many learn what they think goes on in gangs from the media which includes rap music. ( not Hip Hop ). Pro players have to be conscience of what they are putting out there.

I don't believe that professional leagues should try to regulate this issue because it's hard to tell what's a gang sign and what's a message to a loved one. The signs could also be someone truly repping their hood although in a misguided wya.. When my friends and I were younger we all played football and basketball together we would throw up a "W" sign for Winans Ave anytime we scored or made a great play. There was nothing nefarious behind it. It's simply hard to tell in the picture accompanying this article the player is not throwing up a gang sign but a sign representing a music label ( okay some say the Illuminati ). In truth only a true gang expert would know what's a gang sign and what's not.

The solution is simple.

I believe players have to take a look inward and decide to do what's best for the young boys and girls that support them by buying their jerseys and sneakers. The players themselves have to stop throwing up the gang signs. By doing this they are not only setting a good example but not glorifying gang culture, they could be saving lives.

Chiwetel Ejiofor Eyed for James Bond Villain

[ SOURCE ] After scoring big with Javier Bardem as its last Bond villain, MGM and Sony may be targeting another Oscar-nominated actor to play 007′s nemesis in the next James Bond pic.

Sources tell Variety that Chiwetel Ejiofor is the top choice to play the villain in the next installment in the Bond series. No offer has been made yet, and scheduling would still have to be worked out, but sources insist he is the front-runner for the job.

The studio had no comment.

Ejiofor may have been heroic in “12 Years a Slave,” but he’s no stranger to getting his hands dirty, having played the villain in “Children of Men” and “Four Brothers.”
