Rapper Rick Ross Arrested on Kidnapping, Assault Charges Arrest warrants accuse rapper Rick Ross of forcing a man into a guesthouse at his mansion and beating him, chipping his teeth and severely injuring his neck and jaw. Ross faces kidnapping and assault charges after a U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force and deputies arrested him Wednesday at the mansion in Fayette County, south of Atlanta. Jim Joyner, a supervisor with the Marshals Service task force, said 39-year-old Ross— whose real name is William Roberts — was jailed without bail on kidnapping, aggravated assault and aggravated battery charges. Arrest warrants say Ross' bodyguard, 42-year-old Nadrian James, faces kidnapping and aggravated battery charges. It wasn't immediately clear whether Ross and James have attorneys who could be contacted for comment. A representative for Ross' record label didn't immediately return a message. _______________________________________________________________ John C.

Professor Alison Wolf, a respected labour market expert and author of the Wolf review of vocational education, said the further education sector that provides the bulk of the UK’s post-secondary training faces possible collapse and the loss of a valuable source of technicians and mechanics. “I think we should be very alarmed about this – it’s a serious potential crisis,” said Wolf, who publishes a report backed by the universities arguing that “unstable, inefficient, untenable and unjust” funding is destroying education provision for school-leavers outside of universities. ________________________________________________________________ India vs Bangladesh: Dhoni's men need teamwork for first win Bangladesh Vs India LIVE Score, Cricket Score, India in Bangladesh, 3 ODI Series, 2015, 3rd ODI Firstpost‎ - 1 hour ago Bangladesh (BAN) vs. India (IND) LIVE Score - Check out Live Cricket Scores and Match Updates of Bangladesh vs. India ODI on 24 June ... ________________________________________________________ General Lee From “Dukes of Hazzard” Losing Its Confederate Flag Say goodbye to the General Lee as you’ve always known it.

(One of the original cars used in the series sold for $110,000 at auction in 2012 to PGA golfer Bubba Watson.) Following the move by Walmart, Amazon, eBay and others, and the steps by political leaders in South Carolina, Virginia and elsewhere to remove the flag from state capitols and license plates, Yahoo Autos reached out to Warner Bros.
