Curtis Carl Wehmeyer

In Stillwater, MN this past week Curtis Carl Wehmeyer was convicted upon suspicion for molesting and sexually abusing two teenage boys. Curtis Carl Wehmeyer is the pastor of a church in MN. On Wednesday prosecutors decided not to charge other leaders of the church in because some of them had at least an idea of what was going on with Curtis and those two boys. Ramsey County prosecutor John Choi said there was insufficient evidence to even show that the church leaders failed to properly report suspicions of abuse to the boys from Rev. Wehmeyer.

Ukraine Protests Turn Deadly

Both people had been shot by police with live ammunition. Prosecutors announced more announcements that could futher fuel the fire of the violence that spilled onto the streets of Ukrainian capital after two months of largely peaceful protests. In this picture we see a protester throwing a molotov cocktail during the clashes with the police. http://m.washingtonpost.com/world/ukraine-protests-turn-deadly/2014/01/22/2ef91d5c-837d-11e3-9dd4-e7278db80d86_gallery.html

Lots of Snow Out East

This past week a large snow storm hit the east coast and in some places dropped a record 16 inches of snow. In Philadelphia snow started mid-morning on Tuesday and dumped as much as 14 inches by Wednesday morning. New York saw close to the same amount as Philly but not quite as much. The place with the record snow fall for this storm was in Manalapan, NJ with 16 inches in just under 24 hours. New Yorkers and Bostonians who usually swarm Cape Cod in August and July wouldn't be able to recognize it in its current condition.   http://online.wsj.com/article/AP6695c78824d043509e307d53449bbf5c.html

Canned for being pro-gay marriage?

Chris Kluwe of the Minnesota Vikings claimed that he was fired from his job as an NFL Kicker because of his views of gay marriage and showing his support. Chris is pro-gay marriage and he claims that is why he was fired from his job. Chris's special teams coach, and general manager were said to be uneasy around Chris after his support he showed towards the gays. Chris says that his head coach at the time was the real reason that he was fired and that he is trying to spread his story so that coach doesn't get another coaching job in the NFL ever again, or at any level for that matter.
