Two men from out of state remain in custody at the Platte County Detention Center, charged for their roles in a robbery that occurred late at night Sunday, Jan. 25 in Platte City.
Trea Ouellette, 22, faces one felonious account of second-degree robbery, while Laverne Reffitt, 21, faces the same count of robbery along with a felony for possession of a controlled substance at a county jail without a prescription. Charges were filed late Monday, Jan. 26.
According to a probable cause statement, the men hitched a ride from Casey’s General Store, and a short time later, they beat and robbed their victim, stealing about $300 cash in a failed carjacking.
Originally, Platte City police officers responded at about 11:30 p.m. to Casey’s in regard to a suspicious vehicle. They located a black Oldsmobile backed into Muller Mechanical — located next to the convenience store.
Employees at Casey’s said two black males, later identified as Ouellette and Reffitt, and an unknown female were in the store and possibly stealing items. Eventually, the two males left in a white Toyota Avalon, while the female exited the parking lot in the black Oldsmobile observed at the adjacent business.
Upon making contact with the female, still inside the parked car, she verbally identified herself as Rosalia Roman but was later found to be 19-year-old Alicia Reynolds.
While talking with Reynolds, the officers received a domestic disturbance call and were dispatched to 1126 2nd St. They arrived and determined the call to be an armed robbery and attempted car theft.
The victim told officers that Ouellette and Reffitt approached him in the parking lot and asked for a ride to a nearby apartment. He obliged and was told to stop upon reaching 2nd Street.
At that time, Ouelette — the front passenger — began punching the victim, while Reffitt exited the back seat, came around to the driver’s side and opened the door.
Reffitt pulled the victim from the vehicle, and a knife was held to his throat while his wallet and about $300 in cash were taken. Due to the vehicles safety features, the suspects could not start the car, and they took off on foot when they saw officers approaching the scene.
After a search of the area, a Platte County Sherrif’s Office sergeant located Ouellette and Reffitt near Paxton Street.
Ouellette did not have any of the victim’s property on him, but Reffitt’s pockets contained a total of more than $500 in cash and two baggies of a green leafy substance. Another sergeant with sheriff’s office located cards belonging to the victim near where the suspects were apprehended.
The victim then identified Ouellette and Reffitt as his attackers.
Both were taken into custody along with Reynolds. Ouellette and Reffitt declined to speak with authorities, while their alleged accomplice helped fill in some details under questioning.
Reynolds, who was found to have a cell phone in her vagina upon a search at the jail, said they had come to Kansas City for a rave party and were attempting a ‘gas and go’ to return home. Ouellette’s address is listed as Omaha, Neb., while Reffitt’s is in Sioux Falls, S.D., according to the probable cause statement.
Unable to steal the gasoline, they tried on some sunglasses and took some brake cleaner and Swisher Sweet cigars from the counter, according to a review of video surveillance footage. After observing the victim and his girlfriend go to the ATM, the pair followed them outside.
Reynolds said they had been at various Wal-Marts, CVS Pharmacy stores and convenience stores stealing items after leaving the party.
Ouellette faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on the robbery charge, while Reffitt could get up 25 years, because in addition to the robbery, he was found to have numerous pills identified as high-dosage morphine and Klonopin — a benzodiazepine used to control seizures or panic disorders — on his person when booked at the detention center.
Reynolds has not been charged.
Ouellette and Reffitt are being held on $100,000 cash-only bonds.

'Important to deal with non-performing assets'
India, July 30 -- My interpretation of his remarks is that we might have to encounter scenarios of stress which far exceed the usual standards of Basel capital requirements. Implicitly what he was suggesting was that the hit of a prolonged lock down on bank loans of individual and MSMEs might far exceed traditional losses. The latest Financial Stability Report endorses his remarks. The Non Performing Assets (NPAs) to advances ratio is far in excess of what we have ever seen. With the GDP set to contract anywhere between 5% and 10%, some analysts believe that the NPA ratio could end up even higher. I think there is still time. I am hoping that the RBI will use some of these estimates to get both public sector and private sector banks to shor...

Not many people are familiar with the physical traits of a person with Down syndrome. Honestly, before Molly was born – I didn’t know much at all. Since my daughter Molly’s birth, I’ve become educated in the physical traits that come along with her diagnosis. Some are very noticeable, while others are a little harder to see.
It’s important to remember that each person with Down syndrome is a unique individual, each carrying varying degrees of the traits. Some of the physical characteristics of Down syndrome are
- Low muscle tone – Molly’s muscles are somewhat weak, physical therapy and exercise are extremely helpful for her.
- A single crease across the palm of the hand – I still haven’t found one on Molly.
- Small stature – From what doctor’s have told us, Molly is on target in terms of height/weight with normally developing children her age.
- Upward slant to the eyes – My Molly has beautiful almond shaped eyes!
- A wide gap between the first and second toe – Sometimes I think I see it in Molly, other times I don’t.
- An enlarged tongue in relation to the mouth – Molly’s speech therapy is helpful in teaching control, feeding and speech.
What questions do you have for me? While I’m definitely not an expert in this area, I enjoy the conversation that typically develops in the comments section!

Murdoch bids for Dow Jones
AT 76, you would think he had retirement on his mind. But media mogul Rupert Murdoch is proving to be just as focused as ever on expanding his empire.
And a 'friendly offer' of £2.5bn for Dow Jones, the US publisher behind the 118-year-old Wall Street Journal, demonstrates that in a multimedia world he believes there is plenty of mileage left in his first love - newspapers.
The move also takes News Corp, the company Murdoch 37% owns, in a new direction. From the Sun and Sunday Times newspapers to film studio 20th Century Fox and book publisher HarperCollins, it is first and foremost a consumer media combine.
But Dow Jones, with its financial data feeds, would bring Murdoch squarely into the business-to-business arena, bumping up alongside financial news group Reuters and Pearson, owner of the Financial Times.
Indeed, Murdoch watchers have always believed he coveted a grand business title such as the FT. Although Pearson's stance on a sale has softened from 'over my dead body' to one of 'strategic flexibility', boss Dame Marjorie Scardino is still holding out.
Getting his hands on the Journal looks more achievable. It would enable News Corp to cut printing costs at the New York Post at a stroke, as well as lend it some clout ahead of the launch of a business cable news channel later this year. Eventually combining the Journal with the FT to create a global business newspaper is not impossible either.
In the last two years, mismanagement at Dow Jones has exposed a rift between the older and younger
members of the controlling Bancroft family - sparking suggestions they would sell. Now roughly 30 family members are 'evaluating the proposal' from News Corp.
It is priced at $60 (£30)a share or a combination of cash and News Corp shares. Dow Jones stock has not touched that price for more than five years.
Dow Jones is controlled by descendants of Clarence Barron, the founder of Barron's magazine. He bought it from founders Charles Dow and Edward Jones, who in 1882 began producing handwritten news bulletins that were delivered by messenger across Wall Street.
What with the rise of the Internet and falling profits, these are changing times for US newspapers, many of which are still in the hands of their founding families. At the New
York Times, the Sulzbergers are under siege from Morgan Stanley and other shareholders who are frustrated by poor performance. And only last month, the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times were bought for £4bn by property billionaire Samuel Zell, marking
the end of involvement by the Chandler and McCormick families.
By contrast, the Murdoch empire has rarely stayed still. News Corp has long ago diversified beyond its roots in Australian newspapers. Murdoch's investments are also frequently controversial. The Competition Commission is preparing to launch a probe into News Corp's UK activities, prompted by satellite operator BSkyB's £940m investment in ITV. Sky (up 9 ½p at 584 ½p) is 39% owned by News Corp and run by Rupert's second son, James, who fiercely denies stories he may head to New York this year to take over his father's mantle.
Certainly, if the Dow Jones bid comes off, Murdoch Senior might be tempted to set aside all thoughts of retirement.
Despite talk his eventual successor could carve up the widespread News Corp empire, the thrice-married, father-of-six remains a buyer of assets, not a seller.

A federal judge in Manhattan on Tuesday sentenced three men in a college basketball fraud case to between six and nine months in prison, lenient sentences that the judge said were nonetheless important to deter the funneling of money to the families of college basketball prospects — an N.C.A.A. violation that a jury found last year also constituted a felony.
The sentences come ahead of a second trial next month at which more may be revealed about how widespread the rot in recruiting has spread.
James Gatto, the former head of global basketball marketing at Adidas, was sentenced to nine months by U.S. District Court Judge Lewis A. Kaplan. Merl Code Jr., another former Adidas employee, and Christian Dawkins, an aspiring agent, were given six months each. Code and Dawkins, who are also defendants in next month’s trial, were ordered to pay restitution of a little more than ,000 each, with Gatto’s amount of restitution still to be determined.
Kaplan ruled that the punishments would not go into effect until the appeal process is completed. The defendants have two weeks to ask the federal circuit court to re-examine the case.
A jury convicted the three men last fall of defrauding the University of Louisville and, in Gatto’s case, also North Carolina State University and the University of Kansas. The men participated in a scheme in which the families of highly rated men’s basketball recruits were offered money in exchange for pledges to play for one of those teams, which are sponsored by Adidas. Prosecutors argued that by unknowingly making the universities vulnerable to N.C.A.A. sanctions, the defendants had victimized the schools.
Such offers are barred by N.C.A.A. rules, which require that college athletes adhere to the association’s policy of amateurism and not be compensated for their participation in their sport beyond a scholarship and related costs of attendance.
Repercussions from the charges brought by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York have already included the firing of a Hall of Fame coach — Rick Pitino, formerly of Louisville, who denies wrongdoing and whom prosecutors did not charge. A Kansas player was ruled ineligible early this year after his connection to the scheme came to light.
The lawyers for Code and Dawkins welcomed the sentence.
“Happy might be the wrong word, but the judge granted a lenient sentence,” said Steve Haney, who represents Dawkins.
Haney also promised that the second trial, which involves alleged bribes to assistant coaches at top men’s basketball programs, would not only exonerate Dawkins but would also show how college basketball business is really done.
“We’re going to pull back the covers,” he said, adding, “This could transform college basketball and put the players in a situation moving forward so they and their labor are treated fairly.”
Haney pledged to put coaches on the stand — “as many as I can get into the courtroom.”
Robert S. Khuzami, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York in this case, said in a statement, “The sentences imposed today only begin to reflect the magnitude of the harm these defendants caused through a scheme that not only defrauded multiple public universities but upended the lives of young student-athletes and corrupted a game cherished by so many.”
Tuesday’s sentencing hearing in a packed courtroom on a high floor of the federal district building in downtown Manhattan saw all three defendants as well as their lawyers address the court and plead for leniency. They requested no jail time at all. While most of these statements referred to the defendants’ personal characters, some of the attorneys also pointed to the unusual nature of the case, which depended on a theory in which the universities were victimized by the defendants’ attempts to secure them top talent (albeit while putting them at risk of N.C.A.A. penalties).
“If he thought that anyone would conceive what he did here as a crime, he would never have done it,” Code’s lawyer, Mark Moore, said of his client.
Comparing the situation in the case to a legal principle called the “doctrine of unclean hands,” Moore suggested that widespread illicit activity in college recruiting called into question who was truly responsible for the harm his client had purportedly caused.
“Adidas has financial contracts with Louisville through which Louisville profited,” Moore said.
“You have not seen Louisville or any of these schools look to get out of their contracts with Adidas” since the scandal broke in 2017, he added.
Moore noted that although it was not admitted into the record before the jury, Kaplan seemed to recall an earlier scandal at Louisville in which a basketball staffer paid strippers and prostitutes to entertain recruits and players in on-campus housing.
Indeed, Kaplan himself appeared to raise so-called Strippergate, which resulted in N.C.A.A. penalties, during the prosecutor Edward B. Diskant’s statement to the court, in which Diskant insisted that the universities were the victims.
Kaplan said that the defendants had committed “a serious crime,” one whose purportedly common nature was not by itself exonerating: “The ‘everybody’s doing it’ argument, in short, is not a Get Out of Jail Free card,” he said.
But the judge also recognized that the alleged behavior of university employees like assistant coaches and, perhaps, the interests of the universities themselves complicated the theory of the case — on which a jury convicted — that the universities were victims.
Referring to Brian “Tugs” Bowen Jr., a prospect whose father testified that he had indirectly taken from Adidas in exchange for Bowen’s commitment to Louisville, Kaplan said, “To me, probably the worst, the most seriously injured victim of the Louisville scheme was Tug Bowen.” (Bowen was declared ineligible and is now playing professionally in Australia.)
On wiretaps, defendants made oblique references to their activity being typical of high-profile men’s college basketball. They also suggested that at least one of Adidas’s rivals were involved in similar schemes, though there have been no further charges.
Last year Yahoo Sports revealed documents that purported to show the families of several former stars who went on to play for many of the top college basketball programs were on the payroll of Dawkins, the aspiring agent.
The second case, scheduled to be tried next month, initially featured as defendants three former assistant coaches at major programs along with Dawkins and a money manager. The money manager, Munish Sood, reached a deal with prosecutors before the last trial and served as their witness. The three former assistants all pleaded guilty in January, after the guilty verdict in the first case.
A third case, whose trial is scheduled for later thus year, features the former Auburn assistant Chuck Person, who has been charged with bribery.B:

Consensus is emerging in the US in favour of national missile defence (NMD). George W. Bush and John McCain, the leading Republican candidates for the presidency, want it. Al Gore, the Democratic front- runner, has reluctantly moved towards supporting such a system, while President Bill Clinton, a late
convert, is expected to decide in favour of NMD deployment next summer.
In Europe, though, US plans for a limited defence – designed to protect against a missile attack from a rogue state or an accidental launch – have caused a furore among our closest allies.
Le Monde talks of the “spectre of a new cold war”. A leading member of Germany’s Christian Democratic Union warns in the weekly Die Zeit of another dangerous outbreak of US unilateralism. The British, too, harbour serious reservations. “Nothing has so frightened Washington’s friends since Mr Reagan first played Star Wars in the early 1980s,” concludes columnist Philip Stephens writing in these pages.
If the US and its European partners do not bridge their differences, missile defence will strain the alliance. Wolfgang Schmitt, a former Green Party representative in the Bundestag, and a foreign policy expert, says that for starters, Americans and Europeans “don’t share the same threat assessment”.
Many US observers were equally sceptical until a bipartisan commission, led by Donald Rumsfeld, a former US secretary of defence, released its sobering report on ballistic missile threats in July 1998.
The commission concluded that a number of nations were working to acquire “ballistic missiles with biological or nuclear payloads”. Rogue nations could acquire the capability to strike the US with a ballistic missile in as little as five years (before a US system is likely to be available). After the report, US concern about the threat grew. The 1999 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), representing the combined judgment of all US intelligence agencies, stated: “The proliferation of medium-range ballistic missiles – driven primarily by North Korean No Dong (missile) sales – has created an immediate, serious, and growing threat to US forces, interests, and allies, and has significantly altered the strategic balances in the Middle East and Asia.”
Many Europeans apparently believe this threat is only hypothetical. Le Monde recently observed: “The French believe that these threats do not exist.”
Therein lies a central problem.
Joschka Fischer, Germany’s foreign minister, argued during a recent Washington visit that US missile defence would lead to “split security standards within the Nato alliance”. If European cities became more vulnerable, Mr Fischer argued, the US would be less inclined to come to the aid of the Europeans. Just the opposite is true. The US would be more likely to defend the Europeans if they had secured their own cities from ballistic missile attack.
But since Mr Fischer’s worry hints at a similar threat assessment, why not promote Nato co-operation on missile defence just as the allies have co-operated on so much else over the last 50 years?
The US would surely welcome European co-operation on a new system that protected the US and its allies. In October, naval officers from the US, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands met to discuss how a co-operative naval defence effort might proceed. The US has held similar talks with Israel and with allies in the Pacific including Australia, Japan, and Taiwan. These efforts should continue and be broadened to include more nations.
Europeans worry that if the US goes ahead with NMD, it will trigger an arms race around the world. This concern should be taken seriously. It is true that Russia and China object to US plans. It is also true, though, that the US continues to pursue co-operative policies towards both. Washington wants China in the World Trade Organisation; it also maintains a dialogue with Moscow, despite the Russian war in Chechnya. The US also still foots 90 per cent of the bill for securing the safety of Russia’s weapons and nuclear materials. There is little reason to believe that either country is ready to forsake its relationship with the US solely because of a missile defence system designed to confine a threat from rogue states.
There is no reason why the security structures of the cold war should not be brought up to date to reflect today’s strategic realities. And there is no evidence to suggest that sensible arms control and non-proliferation policies are incompatible with prudent steps towards missile defence.
No, the real danger is not a new arms race. It is that the US will be left to worry about new strategic realities, while Europeans defend against yesterday’s threats with cold war tools.
A new defence for the US and its allies is at hand. It is time to work towards a transatlantic consensus.

An evening of the finest and best-known film music, played by the Göttingen Symphony Orchestra under the direction of chief conductor Nicholas Milton.
Iconic Film Music
As long as film has existed, there has been film music. Even before the sound film was invented, pianists, organists, ensembles and even complete symphony orchestras sat in the movie theater to provide exciting music for the silent film. To this day, music is still an essential part of any good movie. Sometimes it's so iconic that you don't need the image at all to instantly recapture the mood. Two bars of Star Wars and you immediately see the spaceships shooting across the screen. One minute of twinkling opening sounds of Harry Potter and you immediately relive the magic of the sorcerer's apprentice.
John Williams with the Göttingen Symphony Orchestra
The AVROTROS Friday Concert brings an evening of the most famous film music by Nino Rota, Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt, among others. The greatest of all is undoubtedly John Williams, nominated 52 times for an Oscar, of which he won five. He is the principal composer of this program, which is performed by the Göttingen Symphony Orchestra and its principal conductor Nicholas Milton. Orchestra and conductor caused a furor in Germany last season with their program Nacht der Filmmusik. Close your eyes, enjoy the most beautiful film music and imagine for a moment Indiana Jones, ET or the bloodthirsty shark from Jaws.

If, like me, you count among the simple pleasures of life browsing the shelves of a brick and mortar bookstore, you were deeply disappointed to learn recently that the Borders chain is going out of business. Here in Louisville, the loss of Borders is a double-whammy: The chain had moved into the physical spaces once occupied by the beloved and now departed local bookseller, Hawley-Cooke. Even with Borders’ closing, we’re fortunate here to still have the fiercely independent Carmichael’s Books, with two cozy stores in which book lovers can browse, chat, and meet authors to their hearts’ content.
That said, I write sadly about the demise of Borders in the same summer that I’ve been shopping for my first e-reader. The irony is not lost on me. But how convenient to be able to download digital books in seconds, carry them in one compact device as I travel, and then not have to find a space for them on my home or office bookshelves! Of course, none of the e-readers I’ve looked at has that new book smell, the sound of a new binding being prodded open, the feel of a smooth or woven or slick page between thumb and index finger, or the weight to the right or to the left that instantly signals how much I’ve read and how many more pages I have left to savor.
A good friend who also happens to be a writer (and who owns and loves an e-reader) recently told me about a wonderful event that she’d attended in a public school classroom: A community service organization in which she and her husband are active members had donated funds to a midwestern inner city elementary school to purchase new books. None of the children is this particular classroom had ever owned a book, and were beyond excited about the prospect that each would receive a personal copy of the book the teacher had planned for the class to read together.
On the day that my friend was there, the teacher brought into the classroom the large shipping box that contained the books. He made great ceremony of slitting open the packing tape, opening the cardboard flaps, and reaching into the box to gently remove the first copy. He held it for a moment, looking at the cover, then opened the book and, nose to print, inhaled the scent of the fresh pages. The teacher then closed and put aside his copy, and invited his young students to approach the box one by one to take their books. As each child came forward, he or she exactly mimicked the teacher’s actions–gingerly grasping a book, holding it, looking at the cover, and then opening it and sniffing the pages. What a marvelous first encounter with a brand new book that each child could literally hold and admire without benefit of batteries!
Now, I believe that just as movies didn’t kill live theater, television didn’t eliminate radio, and cable TV didn’t supplant cineplex movies, so too e-books will not destroy even the deliciously tactile world of paper books. Experts argue that, in fact, the easy availability of digital books is actually expanding, not diminishing publishing, with audiences eager for ever more writing to consume. The possibilities of digital reading are exciting–pulling up extra photos and illustrations, jumping to word definitions and related hot links and so on–stimulating the senses and transforming the experience of reading in new and different ways.
But, acknowledging the distinct assets of both digital and hard copy print, how can we ensure that these will both continue to exist for young readers? As a parent or educator, what has been your experience so far with books, e-readers or some combination of the two with your children or students? What are your recommendations for efficiently and effectively blending digital and hard copy reading experiences? And what have been your own experiences as a reader in the digital age? Let me know, and I’ll share comments in a future post. And in all media, happy summer reading!

It’s true that a lot of my friends did just want to play house, or “mother”—they wanted to have tea parties, burp their babies, push them around in strollers (for some reason, not everyone thinks that playing orphaned factory worker is fun). But I don’t think these kids are being narcissistic: quite the opposite. These kids show the sort of nurturing, protective instinct that makes them good siblings, babysitters, or caretakers as they get older. They’re learning to think about a little human besides themselves who needs care and attention. Dolls teach them to care.
For me, dolls cultivated a similar instinct, but in a different vein. My stories often revolved around injustices and wrongs righted, stories of peril and hardship that led to happy endings. I was picking up on themes of human depravity and suffering, but also themes of forgiveness, diligence, and compassion. I was angered by injustices suffered by others, and I wanted to explore those hardships and understand them better. I was beginning to think about the difficulties of war, abandonment, poverty, displacement. Dolls helped me explore these worlds, helped cultivate in me an empathy for human experiences I had not yet encountered personally.
Daum argues that “animals are more closely connected with the imaginative world than dolls are,” because they’re “ageless, genderless, and come in colors that defy nature. To play with a stuffed panda … is a creative act.” But it seems an unfair characterization to say creativity and imagination can only be exercised in a world untouched by age, gender, or other human designations. Perhaps it lends itself to a sort of creativity—but it’s limiting in other ways.

September 23, 2012
Ever noticed how many of the memorable market declines have taken place in September or October? The great crash of 1929 began as a slow slide in September, and in mid-October the crash hit in earnest. By mid-November the U.S. stock market had fallen by almost half.
On October 19, 1987, the S&P 500 fell over 20% in one day. 2002 began with the S&P 500 at over 1,165, but it fell to 785 on October 7 before recovering some by the end of the year. There are many examples, but how have markets performed in these months during presidential election years such as this one? According to the Presidential Election Cycle theory, the first year of a president’s four-year term (next year) is the weakest, while the third year is the strongest. The year of the election enjoys better-than-average returns, historically. But September and October in a presidential election year can still suffer declines. As MarketWatch columnist Paul Farrell points out, “[i]n 45 presidential election years since 1833, 30 have been positive for the DJIA. In every one since 1948, the third quarter has been worst, followed by a rebound and the Dow averaging 2.3% gain in the fourth quarter.”
In a separate article in the Pepperdine University’s Graziadio Business Review, Marshall Nickles takes a closer look at the presidential election cycles from 1952 to 2002. Although, as commenters to the article note, the presidential election year of 2008 performed differently than previous election years, plunging from over 1400 in January to 900 at the end of the year. I should note also that I would not follow the hypothetical investing examples Nickles presents in the article, but it is food for thought when employing strategies III and IV in TSP Investing Strategies, while maintaining long-term, buy-and-hold TSP investments.
Ultimately, as Paul Farrell notes in discussing the behavioral economics underpinning investors’ embrace of market theories such as these, “it may be wiser to play it safe” and to just “sit tight.” Good advice.Related topics: investing-styles c-fund s-fund i-fund l-funds

Sometimes TV series introduce characters in their early seasons and then completely forget them later on. One such character is Ian Quinn, who is still just floating around out there in the world of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., capable of turning up to make life difficult for Coulson and his pals.
an integral part of the scientific project that created Deathlok and spent a lot of time undermining the S.H.I.E.L.D. team as an agent of Hydra. He was one of the big villains in the first season of the show, but he eventually left Hydra and disappeared. Although Quinn got a brief mention in season three, no one has heard from him since. Is he forgotten? Or is Marvel saving him for future villainy?
