You haven't cleared out graduation. That's not a good idea." Police said they tracked the caller down by tracing the phone number she called from.Shea was charged with threatening in the first degree and falsely reporting an incident.

They did many things to him like putting bike locks around his neck and calling him derogatory names. Also a fourth student was put on probation for the rest of his college careers. The four students pleaded not guilty misdemeanor battery and hate crime charges. The student they did this too has sued the University for 5 million dollars. The 3 students who are all white will not be able to enroll at California schools to finish college. One of the lawyers for one of the expelled students has said the university did not make a thorough review and acted to quickly before gathering all the facts. A task force was also setup and determined they waited to long to take in action in this case though.

The 1992 Dream Team to Return

The original "Dream Team" from 1992 has declared they will be making a one game return. The game has been scheduled for April 1st 2014 and they will play the 2012 USA men's basketball team. The 2012 team has claimed many times they were the new Dream Team and we were better then the 1992. This obviously caused some controversy, so in attempt to stop the controversy the 1992 wants to play them. The man who spear headed this to play the 2012 Dream Team was Charles Barkley. Barkley has repeatedly called out LeBron James for teaming up with Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade to win a championship because LeBron couldn't do it by himself. This has obviously made a little rivalry between James and Barkley, so in much anticipation everyone cant wait for the one on one match up between those two. This going to be a game for the centuries that people will be talking about forever so don't miss it on ESPN 8et live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Mexico catches most powerful cartel boss

Mexico now has finally caught the most powerful cartel boss or drug kingpin, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, in Mexico but there are many others waiting in the wing to take over for him. Even though this capture is huge win for Mexico's President this arrest could lead to a huge waive of violence as others fight for his turf. The least violent way this could is if Guzman's main associate just takes over all his duties. Many of the other cartel gangs are very ambitious and want to get to the top.The U.S. and Mexico are both very worried of the violence this could bring because the gangs are getting ready for the next generation of cartel bosses. So its almost guaranteed violence goes up in Mexico as these gangs fight over turf to get to the top.
