Newsfeed IRAN VAHIDSALEMI—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS An unidentified Iranian woman practices in an outdoor session of a Laughter Yoga class in the Darakeh mountainous area north of Tehran, Iran. The course in Tehran helps people from various age groups and social backgrounds to have fun and take a break from stressful daily lives. Laughter Yoga was started in India in 1995by medical doctor Madan Kataria, in response to a body of scientific research which shows that laughter is extremely good for physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. LOUISVILLE, KY. Afederaljudgein Kentucky struck down the state's ban on gay marriage on Tuesday, though the ruling was temporar- ily put on hold and it was not imme- diately clear when same-sex couples could be issued marriage licenses. U.S. District Judge John G. Hey- burn in Louisville concluded that the state's prohibition on same-sex cou- ples being wed violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Consti- tution by treating gay couples differ- ently than straight couples. The rul- ing was the latest in a string of vic- tories for gay marriage advocates across the nation, and marked the most recent conservative state to have its ban overturned. Heyburn previously struck down Kentucky's ban on recogniz- ing same-sex marriages from other states and countries, but he put the implementation of that ruling on hold. That decision did not deal with whether Kentucky would have to is- sue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Logan Blake, 17, ended up in the drain while playing Frisbee with friends, said public safety communi- cations coordinator Greg Buelow. Buelow and Cedar Rapids Fire De- partment Battalion Chief Brian Gib- son said Tuesday they still consid- ered the operation a rescue mission. David Bliss, 17, tried to save Blake but was also dragged into the drain. That teen traveled along the drain for more than a mile, eventually emerging in Cedar Lake. The boy walked to a hospital and was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Fire department crews were using sonar and boats to search the body of water. A dive team also went in the lake, while officers with dogs and about 60 volunteers searched along the path of the pipe by foot. WEATHER Divers search for teen who went down the drain ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. A Nevada- based startup that plans on selling medical and recreational marijuana products named former New Mexico governor and U.S. Libertarian pres- idential candidate Gary Johnson as its CEO and president, the company announced Tuesday. The announcement came as Can- nabis Sativa Inc. said it had acquired marijuana research business Kush as the company officials work to navigate changing state laws on marijuana and potential challenges from the federal government, which still viewed mari- juana as controlled substance Johnson said he hoped to expand Cannabis Sativa into a major mari- juana business and intends to work out of New Mexico to help develop products that are legal in states like Colorado and Washington. "I generally believe this is changing the planet for the better," said John- son, who will be paid $1 a year and re- ceive equity. "It also is a bet on the fu- ture ... We think we have the creme de la creme of marijuana products." BUSINESS Ex-New Mexico governor named pot company CEO LUBBOCK, TEXAS An 84-year-old Washington state woman will soon hold her 1953 university class ring, lost six decades ago, after it was found in a dried-up West Texas lake. Elizabeth Clark lost her Howard Payne University class ring in 1954 in Lake Nasworthy near San Angelo when she and her future husband went for a picnic and waded into the water. Clark said she wasn't certain where she had lost the ring — af- ter discovering it was missing, she looked around her home before go- ing back to search at the lake. After years of drought, the ring re- vealed itself in the lake bed. Some- one from the school's alumni associ- ation drove to San Angelo to retrieve the ring and was able to identify it from the initials — AEL for Addie Elizabeth Little — inside the band. "I worked hard for that ring," Clark said. "I'm grateful it was found and that it was in good shape after 60 years." The ring, which is 10-karat gold with a blue stone, needed some cleaning up by a local jeweler. FOUND Lost for 60 years, ring turns up in dry Texas lake By Tom Hays The Associated Press NEW YORK A former New York Po- lice Department officer left jail on Tuesday after a judge stunned pros- ecutors and over- turned his conviction in a sensational case accusing him of plot- ting on the Internet to kidnap, kill and eat young women, includ- ing his wife. J u d g e P a u l Gardephe ruled late Monday that there was insufficient evidence to support a ju- ry's guilty verdict in the kidnapping conspiracy conviction of Gilberto Valle. He agreed with defense argu- ments that the defendant's bizarre ex- changes in fetish chat rooms about cannibalizing women never put any- one in danger. Valle's "depraved, misogynistic sexual fantasies about his wife, for- mer college classmates and acquain- tances undoubtedly reflected a mind diseased," the judge wrote. But, he added, prosecutors failed to prove he had entered into genuine agreements to kidnap the women and taken con- crete steps to carry them out. At a hearing Tuesday before his release, Valle — dubbed the "Canni- bal Cop" by the tabloids — smiled at his family and hugged his lawyers in court. Once outside, he told reporters he was eager to go home after spend- ing more than 20 months behind bars. "I want to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone I hurt, shocked and offended with my infantile be- havior," he said. He also thanked his family and fellow inmates at a federal lockup for helping him endure an "im- possible situation." Valle, 40, "is guilty of nothing more than very unconventional thoughts," said one of his attorneys, Julia Gatto. "We don't put people in jail for their thoughts. We are not the thought po- lice." The judge set bail at $100,000 and ordered home detention in Queens for the defendant after prosecutors told him they intended to appeal his rul- ing. CRIME 'Cannibal Cop' gets out of jail By Ricardo Alonso- Zaldivar The Associated Press WASHINGTON Many of the 8 million Americans signed up under the new health care law now have to clear up questions about their personal information that could affect their coverage. A government watchdog said Tuesday the Obama ad- ministration faces a huge task resolving these "in- consistencies" and in some cases didn't follow its own procedures for verifying el- igibility. Two reports from the Health and Human Services inspector general marked the first independent look at afesteringbehind-the-scenes issue that could turn into an- other health law headache for the White House. The inspector general found that key personal details submitted by many consumers — such as an- nual income and citizenship — do not match records the government has on file. It also found shortcom- ings in the internal safe- guards used by the federal insurance exchange and some state marketplaces to check the accuracy of con- sumer information. Those personal details are critical because they determine whether an in- dividual is eligible for tax- payer-subsidized health in- surance, as well as subsidies for monthly premiums. Digging out from under thedataproblemisoneofthe top challenges facing newly installed HHS Secretary Syl- via Mathews Burwell. The administration says it is doing just that. Spokes- man Aaron Albright said more than 425,000 incon- sistencies have been re- solved so far, more than 90 percent of those in favor of the consumer. The admin- istration is hoping to clear up the majority of cases this summer, but may yet have to resort to an extension al- lowed under the health law. The inspector general found that the federal in- surance exchange reported a total of 2.9 million incon- sistencies with consumer data from Oct. 1, 2013 through Feb. 23 of this year. At the time, the adminis- tration had limited technical capability that would have let officials resolve roughly 330,000 of those cases. Only about 10,000 were actually cleared up within the pe- riod. Albright said the situ- ation is much improved. The inspector general said several states running their own insurance markets were having similar problems. Most discrepancies dealt with citizenship and income information supplied by consumers that conflicted with what the federal gov- ernment has on record. The inspector general said efforts by the admin- istration and states to clear up questions were compli- cated by lingering com- puter problems, including outages at the federal data hub, a key system that pings agencies like Social Secu- rity and the Internal Reve- nue Service for verification. The inspector general's inquiry was requested by congressional Republicans as a condition of ending the budget standoff that par- tially shut down the govern- ment last fall. Republicans say they are concerned that people who are not legally entitled to the law's govern- ment-subsidized health in- surance could nonetheless be getting it. "This report is one more example of just how flawed the president's health care law is," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement. "What- ever one's opinion of Obam- acare, the American public deserves to know that their tax dollars are allocated ap- propriately and that public officials take their respon- sibility to accurately and faithfully apply the laws en- acted by Congress seriously." The inspector general stopped short of drawing sweeping conclusions. "Inconsistencies do not necessarily indicate that an applicant provided in- accurate information ... or is receiving financial assis- tance through insurance af- fordability programs inap- propriately," the report said. However, the watchdog office called on the admin- istration to publicly explain how and by what date it will resolve the data problems in the 36 states where Wash- ington is operating new in- surance markets.

If you are the highest bid- der at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien be- ing auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, pri- ority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a ti- tle insurance com pany, either of p y, which may charge you a fee for this information.
