Jenna Lord's found dead after two weeks

Jenna Lord

According to information by Philly.com, the body of 23-year-old Jenna Lord has been found in a vacant lot in Camden, New Jersey. As you may know, Lord went missing on July 5th, she was last heard of on a phone call she made while she was on a train station to head home after a July 4th barbecue.

“The second I came to this lot, it was like a very strong feeling. I don’t know how to explain it. I walked straight to her. She was on her back. The smell wasn’t even that strong. . . . I’ve been praying. Maybe God led me to this spot,” her uncle Ariel Morales said.

Around 40 family members gathered to start looking for Jenna Lord, after they considered police wasn’t being too helpful in finding their loved one. On the surveillance tape of that day, there are two men who can be seen near Jenna; family believes these two men are the ones responsible for her death. The same tape shows Lord getting off the train to take what appear to be clothes from another woman to then head back to Camden on train.

There are still losse ends in this story, and Jenna Lord’s family is looking to solve them.

Refudiate: A twitter typo or something else

Well, maybe the mistake was slightly more than a typo, but not one that isn't all-too-similar to one many of us have made—in some form or another. If nothing else, Palin's error serves as the ultimate reminder of how powerful social networking platforms such as Twitter have become for public figures (and everyone else). After all, the incorrect word at hand—"refudiate"—only graced her page for a few minutes before removed and replaced with the word "refute," the former quickly becoming one of the most searched-for-words on the web. Kind of scary. Twitter is great because it makes celebs seem like they’re “real”—but, oftentimes, being “real” means making grammatical errors and typos.

Refudiate

“‘Refudiate,’ ‘misunderestimate,’ ‘wee-wee’d up.’ English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!”

It remains unclear if the former Alaska governor meant refute or repudiate –she first referenced the word last week on Fox News, calling on President Obama and his wife Michelle to “refudiate” the NAACP’s suggestion that the Tea Party movement was racist.

As word of the word (no pun intended) spread, Ms. Palin presumably decided to delete the tweet. A second tweet asked “peaceful New Yorkers” to “refute the Ground Zero mosque plan.”

Ms. Palin was in New York on Sunday in an effort to assist protesters who are opposing the building of mosque just blocks from ground zero where the World Trade Center once stood.

Rich Cho : New GM of The Portland Trail Blazers

Rich Cho : New GM of The Portland Trail Blazers

Rich Cho became the Blazers' choice after meeting last Thursday in Helsinki, Finland with owner Paul Allen.

"When he offered me the job," Rich Cho said, "I just jumped at it."

Rich Cho, 44, has many ties to Seattle and the state of Washington, having grown up in Federal Way, Wash., and started in the NBA with the SuperSonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder) in 1995 as an intern, after earning an engineering degree from Washington State and working at Boeing as an engineer.

"He introduced me to sushi nine years ago and taught me to play a little bit of Ping-Pong," Blazer coach Nate McMillan said. "So I knew him as a person."

Rich Cho spent the past eight years as an assistant GM. He said he takes an analytical approach and will seek the opinion of others in the Blazer organization, which has been known for having a lot of people involved in decisions and taking its time to think things through.

"One thing I've learned is that I certainly don't have all the answers," Rich Cho said during a noon press conference at the Rose Garden. "My management and leadership style will be very team-oriented. I will ask for a lot of input. ... We will be very process-oriented and methodical in our approach."
