Amy Winehouse, beset by allegations of substance abuse, entered a rehabilitation facility yesterday to battle addiction.
The announcement came just days after the 24-year-old singer was pictured in the British tabloid The Sun inhaling fumes from a small pipe. Police have launched an inquiry into the matter.
“Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label, management, family and doctors,” Universal Music Group said in a statement.
Winehouse, who is nominated for six Grammy Awards for her acclaimed “Back to Black” album, seems to be as famous for her drug problems as for her music. Since the album's U.S. release last year, she has canceled a slew of appearances amid reports of drug use.The album's most popular song, “Rehab,” references her struggles and is a defiant anthem against entering a treatment facility. This is very good for her. I hope she can stay clean.

Article; "Lead Sought in Student Disappearance"
Summary; This morning's blog is based on an article I read inside the Union Tribune. It was a young girl who disappeared in Reno on Sunday. Police are still searching for a missing college student and plan to interview about 100 registered sex offenders in the area. and within a mile. Police also say that all of the more than 1,700 registered sex offenders in Washoe County around Reno will contacted as part of the investigation. The name of the missing college student is Brianna Denison who is also 19 years old. She was last seen sleeping on a couch at a friend's house near the University of Nevada Reno. She was left asleep near an unlocked glass door after a night of partying. When her friends woke up the next day, they noticed she had left but had also left her belongings behind. Police continue to investigate the case, there might be a link between two other girls who also went missing in the past year in the same area.
Reflection; I hate reading sad stories like this one. It's not exciting to hear about innocent people getting kidnapped and perhaps, raped and murdered. I hope that the criminal is caught and the girl is found safe.
The story I read was about a college student that went missing. The last time she was seen was five days ago sleeping on the couch. Police say that they are going to contact all of the sex offenders near were she was last seen. Police also questioned a man that gave her a ride the night before her disappearance but they say that he isn't a suspect. Police are also investigating two other sexual assaults that happened last year to determine whether the two cases are related.
“Mingei museum raided in art-smuggling probe”
► What I read in the news paper today was that the police raided the mingei International Museum in balboa park, they raided it because they were investigating, they steeled two artifacts: the “Grave Robber”, and the “Tax Fraud”. The police agents were looking for evidence. When the police looked in four of five museums in Los Angeles-area art-galleries. No one was criminally charged.
►I don’t agree because they articles belonged to the museum.
►I also don agree because that’s not right.
►And I don’t agree because the one that owned that article, may be l worried about it, and also he owns it.
►I think the most interesting fact its that the criminals rob the artifacts without being seen or detected.
- The San Diego Union Tribune
- Smoking ban approved at 2 college campuses
- the DOCUMENT that I read today was about college REGIONS. It was about a SURVEY that was conducted. The Grossmont and Cuyamaca ACADEMIC campuses will ban smoking. This will begin next year. They will join other local jurisdictions that have adopted similar policies. The board voted 5-0 Tuesday to continue allowing smoking in designated areas for the rest of the year. After that they will prohibit smoking altogether as of next January. The board also directed the district to move smoking areas farther from classroom buildings until the ban takes effect.
- I think that this is a good article. I think that this will have a POSITIVE effect in many ways. But I also think that not everyone will like this.
- One interesting thing that I learned is that many people are allergic to cigarette smoke.
=MAN STABED=
This mornings paper informed me about an incident that happened near Bay Park. A man walked out of a bus yesterday night at about 8:00pm. The man got into an argument with another man after stepping out of the bus. The other man had gotten to the bus stop in a black sports car. He was with another man and woman that were in the car. The man in the car got out and stabbed the other guy after he stepped out of the bus. The wounded man then walked to a nearby house for help. The man was driven to the hospital and is expected to survive. The victim told the police that he knew his attacker.
=This is an epidemic that I think is rising, more and more people are getting stabbed.
=The man could of avoided all of this by just simply not stepping out of the bus.
=Both that that were with the attacker could of stopped him from making that mistake.
=Both of the men knew each other and were about 20 years old.
In Mexico city there has been many counts of groping and verbal harassment toward women on public transportation. Due to the harassment they had to make a personal transportation system for women. This law was passed due to many complaints from a women’s groups. The buses have pink signs in the windshield to wave off men. Now that women have a personal transportation system they spend most of there time chatting and putting on make-up instead of fighting unwanted male attention. When men get aboard a “ladies only” bus accidently they get teased. When men get aboard a “ladies-only” bus the know how a women feels when women go onto a public bus surrounded with guys.
I believe that having a “ladies-only” bus is a good idea. I think that sooner or later men are going stop caring about the sign and hop on it. Men are only going to be embarrassed for short time then be doing the same thing again.
22 million passengers cram onto subways and buses each day.
In San Francisco the high court ordered that medical marijuana used by workers at a job can be a cause of being terminated. This ruling came about as a result of a lawsuit by a case in which a man working in a telecommunications company got fired because he flunked a company ordered drug test. Gary Ross , who is 45 , had received a medical consent to smoke marijuana because of a back injury that he had received due to a accident in the Air Force. His lawyer had been appealing the case since he and the Ross believed that he had been fired unjustly since he did his job with no problem. His doctor had given him consent to consume marijuana and that in the state of California is legal but it’s considered a crime by federal law. It makes no sense that in state law something is legal and in federal law it’s illegal. So, Ross and his lawyer appealed to the court hoping to gain the case just so Ross could get his job back, but he lost the case because no matter what state laws ordains but by federal law it is illegal. This case is just another incentive to make the laws regarding legal marijuana change. I’m not sure as to what the changes need to be but their needs to be harmony between the states and federal laws.
Today in the union tribune, I read that the Mingei international museum in balboa park is one of five California museums caught up in a federal investigation involving stolen ancient Thai artifacts, a so-called grave robber and tax fraud. Federal agents Raided the san Diego museum yesterday looking for evidence. Court documents used to obtain search warrants detail an elaborate scheme that reads like a whodunit. The five-year probe culminated yesterday when agents searched four of the five museums and two los Angeles-area art galleries. No one criminally charged. Along with Mingei, the investigation focused on the los Angeles county museum of art. The pacific Asia museum in Pasadena, the bowers museum in Santa Ana and the UC Berkeley art museum. All are suspected of some degree of fraud related to the scheme, said a federal source who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.
