David Sims, smart move

[associated press]

Iowa State defensive back David Sims was charged Tuesday with unauthorized use of a credit card stemming from a July 17 incident in Ames. Sims is suspended from the team after being charged Tuesday with unauthorized use of a credit card, according to the school’s student-athlete discipline policy.The charge, an aggravated misdemeanor, may be punishable by up to two years in jail and may include a fine between $625 and $6,250 under Iowa law.
“I have met with David about this incident and related my deep disappointment in his actions, which are not representative of a member of our football program,” coach Paul Rhoads said in a statement. “I have informed him he will face disciplinary action, which will be handled internally in the athletics department and within our football program. “In addition, he has been relieved of his position as a co-captain on our football team.”
Sims is suspended indefinitely, according to the school’s discipline policy for athletes. The code for first-infraction situations like Sims’ states that:
“The student-athlete shall be indefinitely suspended from competition and may be suspended from practice.” Rhoads could not be reached for comment on whether Sims will be allowed to practice, although he said Monday at the Big 12 Media Days that Sims remains on the depth chart. “Even with a worst-case scenario, he’s going to be on the team,” Rhoads said.Sims’ status for the Sept.2 season opener against Northern Illinois at Jack Trice Stadium is uncertain. Sims, last season’s Big 12 Conference defensive newcomer of the year, was a subject of an Ames Police Department investigation after Veronica Gonzalez of Des Moines reported her credit card stolen and used unlawfully July 17 in Ames. Authorities issued a search warrant for Sims’ Ames residence last Wednesday. The warrant was sealed. “There were some things recovered that were listed on the search warrant,” Ames Police Department commander Mike Brennan said last week. Ames police sent their findings to Story County Attorney Stephen Holmes’ office. Sims led the 7-6 Cyclones with five interceptions. He also forced three fumbles. Neither Sims nor his attorney, Matthew Bowles of Des Moines, could be reached for comment. According to courts on-line, Sims is scheduled to appear in Story County District Court on Monday. Iowa State’s annual football media day is Wednesday.

Jeez, why couldn't someone help him get a student loan or something? He could have paid it off with pocket change if he made it in the NFL. LOL! "Iowa State and the NFL" Those words haven't been mentioned together since the Seneca Wallace days and I don't think they will mentioned again anytime soon!

Millet Flour

"Michelle Williams, she was on Dawson’s Creek and a few movies since then. Anyway, she’s moved up to my area ( Sullivan County NY ), and makes appearances around here sometimes. Anyway, she came into a healthfood store I work at, and we’re a small town, small inventory type of store; and we didn’t have enough of what she was looking for (millet flour) so she ordered it. Now, ordinarily, when customers order something specific, we take a down payment. When I told her this, she refused, and said she’d rather pay in full later. I thought, shes loaded, she’s good for it. Well we ordered all her millet flour and she never came! We paid just about $300 upfront from our supplier company, and Nik, I don’t know if Shayne is into healthfood, but she may know what millet flour is, and it’s very hard to sell!! Just thought I’d blast this mediocre actress (at best) for the $300 that cut a week and a half’s pay from my check." [via] She needs to be antiqued with that Millet Flour.

A Heartless Woman

Mindy Greany WATERLOO,IA --- A Grundy Center woman has been sentenced to prison for stealing from people with disabilities. As a credit counseling company employee, Mindy Sue Greany, 31, oversaw the funds of the blind and mentally challenged --- people who needed help keeping track of their money. Instead, she siphoned more than $100,000 from their accounts at Family Management Credit Counselors in Waterloo. On Friday, District Court Judge Margaret Lingreen sentenced Greany to spend up to 10 years in prison for her pleas to six counts of first-degree theft, eight counts of second-degree theft and one count of third-degree theft. One of the credit counseling clients had a simple question for Greany when he took the witness stand during sentencing. "He said 'Why did you steal from me?'" said Roger Goldsberry, director of Family Management Credit Counselors. Greany was an administrative assistant at the organization and took money between July 2003 and July 27, 2...

Gawker Slams Press? (Nik Richie's Daughter)

"Sorry, But Babies Are Ugly" Oh, you probably don't think so. You probably think that your baby is "cute." Sure. Do you think a worm is cute? No. Your baby basically looks like a worm with a face and a couple legs. It's fairly hideous. I'm sure that your baby could very well grow up to be a cute child, or even a cute adult. But right now it is just a shriveled, crying, drooling, bald mess. If you saw a homeless man exhibiting the exact same physical traits as your baby, you would cross the street in disgust. Your hormones have you fooled. We're giving you the hard truth here.
