Blackman Township police say the man last seen with a missing East Lansing woman who was found dead Wednesday has now been transferred to the Jackson County Jail. Paul David Gibbs, 48, was picked up by police just south of his hometown of Jackson for a parole violation and because Meridian Township police wanted to question him about the disappearance and death of 35-year-old East Lansing resident Tammie Sue Dubay. Dubay was last seen alive with Gibbs, who East Lansing police called "acquaintances," late-night July 13, and her body was found the next evening.
A fourth MSU student who was found to be illegally sharing music files on the university Internet service provider has settled within the last week with the Recording Industry Association of America, RIAA spokesman Jonathan Lamy said. "There isn't anything different about the fourth one than the other three," Lamy said. Three other MSU students, who, according to RIAA, were file sharing an average of 800 songs, settled for an average of $3,000 little more than a month ago. With the addition of the fourth settlement, five more MSU students, none of whose names have been released, remain to either settle with RIAA or battle in court. Lamy said he could not comment on whether the remaining five students have contacted RIAA, but did say no further court proceedings have begun. "We give them a set amount of time to contact us, and if we don't hear from them by a certain point, we'll refile the suit against them as a named defendant, but within that time, we try to give them every opportunity to contact us if they want to," Lamy said. All nine students received letters from RIAA in the spring, notifying them of the pending legal punishment and encouraging them to settle out of court.
MSU hockey's Brock Radunske has decided to forfeit his remaining year of eligibility in order to pursue a career with the NHL's Edmonton Oilers. The senior left-winger inked a three-year deal with the Oilers in Toronto late Monday afternoon. Although the announcement came a bit earlier than some expected, Radunske's father, Bob Radunske, said to him, his son's decision was anything but a surprise. "I think he made (the decision) back during this summer," Bob Radunske said.

Fart jokes, vulgar sex talk and stupidity make up the contents of Adam Sandler's fifth and latest comedy album, "Shhh … Don't Tell". The album starts out on the right foot with the hilarious skit, "Sid & Alex," in which Sandler plays Sid, who receives a birthday phone call from his friend Alex.

Kaela Dorman might be reaching deeper into her pockets to pay her tuition bills for the upcoming school year. The U.S.
We know so much already has, and still is changing. It's hard to go through airport security in less than an hour, even harder to find food that hasn't had its genes altered, and almost impossible to find an advertisement that doesn't have sexual implications. But it's good to know, despite today's world of change, our sleazy politicians will always be sleazy. Still alive and kicking, presidential candidate and Reform Party representative Ralph Nader has been fighting to make the state ballot - and his Republican opponents are helping him. Last Thursday Nader needed to submit 30,000 signatures to qualify for the ballot, and The Michigan Republican Party alone submitted 34,000 on behalf of Nader. What's wrong with this picture? During the 2000 elections, the margin between President Bush, and Sen.

I hear a lot of moaning and complaining about Michigan. People say it's boring. Flat. Droll. Uninspiring.
For Casey Taubitz, the only reference to contraception during her high school health education class was a brusque "just use a condom." Taubitz, who graduated in 2004 from Fenton High School, said the curriculum at her school was abstinence-based - similar to programs President Bush would like to see more school districts utilize. In his 2004 State of the Union address, Bush added federal funding for abstinence-only sex education programs, expressing a desire to double the current amount.
