An Oklahoma man was arrested Tuesday on murder charges after a medical examiner ruled his stepfather was killed in a fight that involved blows to the head… and an “atomic wedgie.”

The Oklahoman reported 33-year-old Brad Davis allegedly “jumped” his stepfather, 58-year-old Denver Lee St. Clair, in his home in McLoud, Okla., on Dec. 21. Amy Elliott, the spokewoman for the state’s medical examiner’s office, told the newspaper St. Clair’s cause of death was deemed to be blunt force trauma to the head and asphyxiation.

How, you might ask, would a wedgie lead to asphyxiation? An atomic wedgie is when the waistband of someone’s underwear is stretched over the wearer’s head. Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth told The Oklahoman St. Clair was found with his underwear pulled over his back and head, the waistband around his neck.

“I’d never seen this before, but when we first looked at our victim seeing the waistband of his underwear was around his neck,” Booth told the newspaper.

At the time Davis was arrested Tuesday, no formal charges had been brought, but KOCO-TV reported Wednesday that he had been charged with first-degree murder.

According to the Shawnee News-Star, the arrest warrant recorded that Davis admitted he hit St. Clair several times and performed the atomic wedgie. The men were fighting about a financial issue. KOCO reported that Davis also was upset at harsh words by St. Clair directed toward his mother.

Rapper Flavor Flav was arrested Thursday morning after State Police troopers caught him speeding and driving with a suspended license on the Meadowbrook State Parkway in Hempstead, police said.

The music artist, whose real name is William Drayton, 54, was clocked going 79 mph in his Hyundai about 9:30 a.m. on the southbound parkway, near the Southern State Parkway, police said.

Flavor Flav, who grew up in Freeport and now lives in Las Vegas, was driving with 16 suspensions on his license, police said. Troopers also found a small amount of marijuana in his possession, police said.

The rapper was charged with a felony, aggravated unlicensed operation, and two violations, speeding and marijuana possession, police said.

He told police he was on his way to Roosevelt for his mother's funeral, said state police spokesman Frank Bandiero.

Flavor Flav had announced on Twitter that his mother, Anna Drayton, died on Dec. 31. His tweet said, "She lived a good life."

Usually, those charged with a felony would be locked up until arraignment, but under the circumstances, State Police consulted a Nassau assistant district attorney, who gave permission to release Flavor Flav to go to the funeral, Bandiero said.

"He did all the right things, and we tried to accommodate him," Bandiero said.

The rapper was released with an appearance ticket for Jan. 28 at Nassau County First District Court in Hempstead.

HOUSTON (FOX 26) -

Clifford Hall says he's more than happy to pay child support for his 11-year-old son.

"I'm his father it's my responsibility to take care of him," Hall says.

But Hall says when the amount of child support was modified no one told him.

"I discovered for some reason his employer was withholding a large amount some weeks a small amount some weeks a zero amount some weeks," says Hall's attorney Tyesha Elam.

"I didn't want to go to jail basically," Hall says.

So Hall quickly paid almost 3 grand in back child support.

When Hall and his ex were in Judge Lisa Millard's court last November he owed nothing.

"Opposing counsel testified twice that he's all paid up," says Elam.

But the attorney representing the child's mother wanted Hall to pay her three grand in attorney fees and Judge Millard agreed.

Court documents also reveal Hall wasn't following the court's scheduled times to pick his son up for visitation.

Another modification Hall says he knew nothing about.

"The Judge ended up sentencing him to 6 months in jail." Elam says.

"When she said I remand you to the Harris County Jail for 180 days my mouth just dropped," says Hall.

"This entire situation is shocking to me," says community activist Quanell X. "I've never seen one like this."

Quanell X wants the state's judicial board to investigate.

"The court failed the child," he says. "The court failed Mr. Hall the system broke down."

"I'm like he couldn't have gotten a worse result," Elam says. "He could have gone in there with a monkey and gotten a better result. What did I do that my client has over paid over visited and is now paying 3 thousand dollars in attorney fees and is going to jail for 6 months."

"I can't be there for my son in jail," Hall says. "I can't pay child support in jail. This is not in the best interest of the child."

Judge Millard tells Fox 26 after she found Hall in contempt he walked out of the courtroom which she says is a big no no.

Judge Millard says Hall's attorney could have filed a motion for reconsideration which would have given her an opportunity to hear from both sides again and reevaluate the situation.

Hall's attorney is now working on an appeal.

Hall says in a few days he will turn himself in to the jail.

ohnathan Montgomery
In October 2007, 17-year-old Elizabeth Coast of Hampton, Virginia, told her parents that she had been molested more than six years earlier, on January 21, 2001, when she was 10 years old by a neighborhood boy who was 14 at the time.

Coast identified the boy as Johnathan Montgomery, who had been a freshman at Hampton High School in 2000, but moved to Iowa in 2001.

Montgomery was arrested in October 2007 and charged with forcible sodomy, aggravated sexual battery and sexual penetration with an object.

He went on trial before a judge who heard the case without a jury in the Circuit Court for the City of Hampton. Coast described the assault, which she said took place in her grandmother’s backyard, and said she did not tell anyone at the time because she thought her parents “would get mad” and because she was “really embarrassed.” She said she came forward because she thought she saw Montgomery at a Wal-Mart store.

Montgomery admitted that he tickled Coast, but denied ever molesting her or touching her inappropriately.

On June 23, 2008, the judge convicted Montgomery of forcible sodomy, aggravated sexual battery and sexual penetration with an object, saying the case was a “word against word situation.” Montgomery was sentenced to 45 years in prison, with all but 7-and-half years suspended.

By October 2012, Coast had been a civilian employee in the Hampton police department for three years. On October 30, 2012, Coast called Officer Jim Auer and told him she had “ruined a man’s life.” Two days later, on November 1, Coast made a videotaped statement at the police department admitting she had falsely accused Montgomery after her mother caught her looking at “sex stories” on the internet. Out of fear of her mother, Coast said she was looking at the material because she had been molested when she was 10 years old.

After she named Montgomery as her assailant, the lie snowballed. Coast said in the videotaped statement that nothing happened between her and Montgomery.

On November 9, 2012, Coast was fired from her job at the police department and charged with perjury.

On November 19, 2012, Montgomery, represented by the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project, requested that Gov. Robert McDonnell grant a conditional pardon. The pardon was granted and on November 20, 2012, Montgomery was released from prison. The Innocence Project, joined by the Virginia Attorney General’s Office, then filed a petition for a writ of innocence.

The petition was put on hold pending the disposition of the perjury charge against Coast. On May 21, 2013, Coast pled guilty to committing perjury at Montgomery’s 2008 trial. Coast said that she confessed to her lie because she could no longer handle its effect on her life. She said she realized she could not pursue God with that lie still present in her life. On August 19, 2013, Coast was sentenced to five years in prison with all but two months suspended. She was also ordered to pay $90,000 restitution to Montgomery.

On December 20, 2013, the Virginia Court of Appeals granted the petition and awarded Montgomery a certificate of innocence.

HDD Expansion
Ran out of space on the stock hard drive in your PS3? Want to upgrade?

• Western Digital 250GB HDD
• Western Digital 500GB HDD
• Western Digital 750GB HDD

Western Digital is the highest quality HDD brand you can get for your PS3, imo. As of now, they don't have a 1TB HDD of the PS3's 2.5" HDD size, so 750GB is the highest you can get now, which should already be more than enough.

While WD is my brand of choice, any 2.5" SATA HDD is compatible with the PS3. Even Solid State Drives (SSDs) and Hybrid Drives are compatible with the PS3, and Drives of any cache size and RPMs are compatible with the PS3, so there are a lot of choices out there. People have claimed to experience notable gains/advantages with Drives with higher RPMs, as well as using SSDs over HDDs, so you may want to keep that info in mind.

Do note, however, that a lot of people have had problems with the Seagate brand of HDDs. Buy at your own risk.

Side Note: Newegg is an amazing website for ordering these things. I don't think they charge shipping for these HDDs (they didn't charge me shipping), and they were FAST. My credit card info was authorized and the 750GB HDD I ordered was at my house a day and a half later. So yeah, I give Newegg my highest recommendations. For those of you late bloomers looking to jump into the HD age, they've also got great HDTVs at great prices, so check them out!

How do you replace your old HDD with the new one you bought?

First off, you will need a regular Phillips Screwdriver to do this.

Intercoolers
If you feel that your PS3 is usually stationed in an environment with inadequate temperature (Read: Hot and muggy as fuck), you may want to look into and invest in an Intercooler to keep it nice and cool.

• NYKO PS3 Slim Intercooler

Also, remember that setting your PS3 vertically is better than horizontally if you're looking to keep it well-ventilated.

Spoiler:

Cleaning the PS3
Cleaning your PS3 is very simple.

For the outside of your PS3, rub dust/fingerprints/whatever off with micro-fiber cloth.

For the inside of your PS3, use a vacuum cleaner's hose to suck dust from the vents. Don't forget to open the PS3's HDD plating and vacuum there as well. Every once in a while, it will be necessary to completely remove the HDD and vacuum out it's housing area. You can also blow the dust through the vents using compressed air. I find cleaning most effective when the compressed air is used first, then the vacuum to suck out any remaining dust. Clean your PS3 out at least once a month.

DO NOT. I repeat, DO NOT attempt the PS3's hidden feature, the Fan Test. This hidden feature has been known to damage PS3s and shorten their lifespans. You have been warned.

Densest Matter Created in Big-Bang Machine

"Besides black holes, there's nothing denser" we've seen, physicist says.

A superhot substance recently made in the Large Hadron Collider (pictures) is the densest form of matter ever observed, scientists announced this week.
Known as a quark-gluon plasma, the primordial state of matter may be what the entire universe was like in the immediate aftermath of the big bang.
The exotic material is more than a hundred thousand times hotter than the inside of the sun and is denser than a neutron star, one of the densest known objects in the universe.
"Besides black holes, there's nothing denser than what we're creating," said David Evans, a physicist at the University of Birmingham in the U.K. and a team leader for the LHC's ALICE detector, which helped observe the quark-gluon plasma.
"If you had a cubic centimeter of this stuff, it would weigh 40 billion tons."
Densest Matter Acts Like Perfect Liquid
By triggering hundreds of thousands of high-speed collisions each second, physicists using the LHC hope to break subatomic particles into even more basic forms of matter, which can be used to study what the universe was like a trillionth of a second after the big bang.
LHC scientists made the quark-gluon plasma last year by smashing together lead ions—lead atoms that have been stripped of their electrons—at nearly the speed of light.
As the name suggests, quark-gluon plasma is made up of quarks and gluons. Quarks are the elementary building blocks of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, which make up atomic cores. Gluons are particles that "glue" quarks together using the so-called strong force.
It's thought that, as the universe cooled, the quark-gluon plasma that existed after the big bang coalesced to form matter as we know it today. (Related: "Strange Particle Created; May Rewrite How Matter's Made.")
The quark-gluon plasma created at the LHC is about twice the amount and about twice as hot as quark-gluon plasma previously made using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York.
Still, the plasmas created by the two machines are very similar, scientists said this week during the Quark Matter 2011 Conference in Annecy, France. For example, scientists have now confirmed that both versions behaved like so-called perfect liquids, with nearly zero friction.
"If you stir a cup of tea with a spoon and then take the spoon out, the tea stirs for a while and then it stops. If you had a perfect liquid and you stirred it, it would carry on going around forever," Evans explained.
Some theories predict that, in the extreme heat of the very early universe, quarks and gluons would have been even more widely spaced, creating a quark-gluon plasma that behaved like a gas. The ALICE team is therefore looking for evidence of gas-like behavior in the early stages of their quark-gluon plasma formation.
"There are slight differences between our measurement and RHIC's," Evans said.
"It could well be that in the very early stages [of our quark-gluon plasma], it's behaving more like a gas, and then as it cools it turns into a liquid, but we will need to investigate this further."
Highs and Lows of Making Matter
If this gas-to-liquid transition has indeed been observed, it would be surprising, since theory predicts that it should occur at much higher temperatures than those currently being produced at the LHC, said Thomas Ludlam, chair of the physics department at Brookhaven.
"I would regard the ALICE claim that they may be seeing hints of this as very interesting, but rather speculative at this stage," said Ludlam, who was not involved in the project.
The results are nevertheless very exciting, he added. "They show that the LHC"—which went online in 2009 after more than a year's delay due to mechanical problems—"is squarely in the game now."

Also, by comparing the lower energy quark-gluon plasma created at the RHIC with the higher energy version from the LHC, scientists could gain a better understanding of how and when the substance changed as the universe cooled, Ludlam said.
"I think we're now at a point where, with these two machines, we can look over a very wide energy range at the properties of the quark-gluon plasma as it evolves with temperature and density," Ludlam said.
With this goal in mind, he added, RHIC scientists have been trying for the past year to create a quark-gluon plasma at even lower energies, to find the temperature at which quarks and gluons come together to form protons and neutrons.
Meanwhile, the LHC is still operating at only half of its maximum energy, and the ALICE team expects to create even denser forms of quark-gluon plasma as the machine ramps up in the future.
