Ashley Biden

Ashley Biden, the 27-year-old daughter of Joe Biden, allegedly snorting lines of cocaine at a Delaware party last month. The New York Post claims that Dunlap showed it 90 seconds of the 43-minute tape, which purportedly shows Ashley doing lines of coke with a red straw in front of witnesses and later shouting "Shut the F-- Up!" The newspaper reported that the seller wanted $2 million before dropping his price to $400,000.
Ashley Biden is the only daughter and youngest child of Vice President Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden. Born June 8, 1981, her full name is Ashley Blazer Biden. She has campaigned with her father since her preschool days. She has two older brothers, Hunter and Beau, and lives in Delaware.
In 2008 Ashley Biden was named a Person to Watch by Delaware Today. She works as a social worker. In 2002 Ashley Biden was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of obstructing a police officer outside a Chicago bar. In 2009 she was caught up in a media firestorm about a tape allegedly showing her doing cocaine.

Frozen Four

Frozen Four roster: No. 1 Boston University, No. 3 Vermont, No. 4 Miami of Ohio and No. 4 Bemidji State. Nobody had those four in an office pool. The weekend started and finished with upsets. No. 4 Air Force knocked off No. 1 Michigan, 2-0, on Friday afternoon. It was a big step for a Falcons team that had come so close to pulling off upsets the last two years.
Air Force met Vermont, another underdog victor in the first round, in the East Regional Final. The teams went into a second overtime before the Catamounts punched a ticket to Washington. Even the game-winner came with added excitement. Dan Lawson’s point shot initially appeared to fly over the net, but video replay confirmed it went under the crossbar and through the top of the net for a goal.
Probably the biggest upsets of the weekend came in the Midwest Regional, where little Bemidji State, which earned an automatic tournament berth by winning the soon-to-be-defunct College Hockey America, knocked off No. 1 Notre Dame, 5-1. In just another quirky storyline from the weekend, Bemidji State Coach Tom Serratore is the brother of Air Force Coach Frank Serratore. Needless to say it was a good first round for the Serratore family.

Detroit News

The Detroit News offeres up a redesign to its readers today (Monday). We always hear what a great news town Detroit is. The night of our redesign launch was no different. The resignation of General Motors’ CEO, along with Michigan State’s win to clinch a Final Four berth right here in Detroit next weekend, put our breaking-news instincts to the test on Day 1.
Now, to our breaking news: The News, along with the Detroit Free Press, will be home delivered on Thursday and Friday (the Free Press home delivers the Sunday paper.) Both papers print editions will only be sold at newsstands on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. The size of the paper varies from 30 pages on Saturday, our smallest edition, to 80 pages on Thursday, our biggest edition.
The goal of The Detroit News redesign is to provide readers with a product that still presents all of the day’s important news without compromising the paper’s ability to deliver authoritative, in-depth stories. The new newshole guidelines have led us to develop quick-read techniques. This allows readers to either scan the paper, or read every word, and still have a rewarding experience with us.
