A middle school student in Louisville, Kentucky, is facing a charge of terroristic threatening as a result of comments he posted on his Facebook page.

The comments referred to the absolute destruction of the JessieClarkMiddle School. The unnamed student said that he meant them to be a joke and didn't intend to seriously harm anyone.

The school principal sent home a note with each student after the incident that said there were "no threats against any individuals" and that there was "no reason to believe that any of our students or staff were in any danger."

DUMP TRUCK CHASE

A 37-year-old Syracuse, New York, man led police on an hour-long chase -- while driving a dump truck.

Stanley Lostumbo reached speeds of up to 65 miles per hour and crossed through backyards, school grounds and down railroad tracks before cops shot him to end the fracas. He was hit in the shoulder and taken to the hospital where he was treated for minor injuries.

The chase began after cops busted Lostumbo stealing from vending machines at a local mall.

5 FASHION TURN-OFFS

Rich Santos isn't just any guy -- he's Marie Claire's Sex and the Single Guy! So, when he offers up 5 fashion mistakes that are total turn offs, you know he speaks for lots of men ...

1. Too Much Makeup -- Good make-up is great...but spackled on, multicolored, mistakes make men think "clown" not "catch."

2. Aggressive Cleavage -- Yes, guys like boobs, but they also like a little mystery. Not every man is a fan of a messy, poppin'-outta-her-top look, and they'd often prefer you leave a little something to the imagination.

3. Sluttiness -- Class is an attractive trait. Skip too-short skirts, slutty stilettos, etc. Slutty tends to be lumped into the "for fun," "stripper" or "not enough of a challenge" categories.

4. Obvious Celebrity Emulation -- A little nod to a classic is one thing -- a hair-cut, clothing style, make-up and Chihuahua is quite another. (Go ahead and rock some Jackie O shades, but skip a full-on copy-cat.)

5. Gaudiness -- A little bling goes a long way. If you're adorned in diamonds, what makes a guy think he can keep you happy with his "pretty good" salary and desire to buy a house (you know, not more diamonds). More importantly, does that necklace really go with your jeans, T-shirt and baseball cap for an outing in the park? Highlight your own style; skip the bobbles.

HATED SPORTS FIGURES

Two hated sports figures happen to be in the news these days -- Lebron James and Brett Favre.

LeBron recently did an interview with GQ magazine where he said, among other things, that he hated Cleveland when he was growing up and that (surprisingly) he could see playing there again.

Favre ended his prima donna act when three of his teammates flew to Mississippi to beg him out of retirement. (What kind of guy would demand that his friends grovel before returning to the team? A selfish one ...)

Well, according to TotalProSports.com, here are some sports figures possibly hated more than Lebron and Favre:

• Roger Clemens -- One of the best pitchers in the history of the Red Sox went to the rival Yankees and won two World Series.

• Carlos Boozer -- The Cleveland Cavaliers released Boozer as a restricted free agent, with the understanding that he would immediately re-sign with the Cavs to a new lucrative contract. Well, he saw this as the perfect opportunity to take Cleveland's good faith gesture and use it as an opportunity to test the free agency waters. Utah offered him almost $12 million per year. Boozer cut and ran.

• Art Modell -- Yet another Cleveland sob story ... As owner of the Cleveland Browns, he assured fans many times that he would never move their team. But in 1996, he did just that, moving the team to Baltimore. Even though Cleveland got a new NFL team in 1999, the damage has been done.

• Nick Saban -- After a successful stint as head coach of the LSU Tigers, he bolted to the NFL for a couple of crappy years leading the Miami Dolphins. When he returned to college football, he was hired as the head coach of rival Alabama, where he has enjoyed stellar seasons the past two years, including a national championship in January of 2010.

SURVEY SAYS: Guys & Dating

In a recent survey, AskMen.com asked some questions about guys and dating:

How many dates should a man pay for?

• 42 percent -- The majority of them until the relationship is established
• 26 percent -- The majority of them for the duration of the relationship
• 12 percent -- All of them
• 19 percent -- No more than the woman does
• 1 percent -- None, the woman should pay for them all

ELECTRIC SHAVERS VS. REGULAR RAZOR BLADES

At some point in time, all men have tried both electric shavers and regular razor blades to see what works best for them.

Of course, there are many advantages and disadvantages to both.

Electric Shavers

• Pros -- The obvious advantage to an electric shaver is the ease of use. Most electric shavers can be charged and work wirelessly. Another advantage of an electric razor is speed. You can quickly turn on your shaver and begin shaving without the preparation time needed when using a regular razor.

• Cons -- Price can be a problem as some models are very expensive. Also, electric razors don't shave as closely as razor blades. Electric razors can also cause razor burn on your neck if you have sensitive skin.

Regular Shavers

• Pros -- Regular razors cut closer than an electric razor and offer a smoother shave. If you have sensitive skin, a regular razor can actually be better for your skin and reduce razor burn.

• Cons -- Razor blades require more time to shave in the morning and require shaving cream and lather time. You also have to be more careful when shaving with a regular razor than you do with an electric shaver to prevent cutting yourself.

There's a new online service out there that gives students cash incentives to get good grades.

Ultrinsic.com was established to let college students place bets that they'll receive good grades. The company actually calculates odds for each bet by analyzing a student's previous academic history. Starting at $25, students are able to upload their course schedules and place bets on their projected grade in each course.

Basically, it's the online gambling equivalent of your grandmother pulling out a crisp 10-dollar bill for every "A" on your report card back in the day.

RELATIONSHIP RIGHTS

Being a girlfriend -- or a boyfriend, for that matter -- involves a lot of give and take. And there are also some basic rights to keep in mind as your relationship deepens:

1. You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to keep some things to yourself ... to have diaries, e-mail accounts, etc., that are only for you.

2. You have the right to avoid parenting. You're his girlfriend, not his mommy.

3. You have the right to ask but not to tell.Relationships die if they don't progress -- or they stagnate. Sometimes change needs to happen, and you have to ask for it. Maybe you need him to go out less. Maybe he needs you to be more affectionate. Maybe you need him to be nicer to your family. It's up to you to ask ...

4. You have the right to dates ... if he cannot afford a dinner date it will be up to him to get creative. A girl likes to be taken out.

5. You have the right to clean up after yourself and only yourself.

6. You have the right to satisfaction.

7. You have the right to see your friends.

8. You have the right to be right ... and wrong. Everyone argues. It's a fact of relationships. And someone is always right and someone is always wrong. But that's not the point. How you approach arguments and their resolution can define you in a relationship.

9. You have the right to judge and be judged. People who are overly judgmental are annoying, but people who don't judge anything are worse.

MEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO CHEAT IF THEIR WOMAN IS MAKING MONEY

Researchers from Cornell University have discovered a new weird difference between men and women ...

Men are more likely to cheat if they are economically dependent on their female partners -- whereas women are less likely to cheat if they depend on their men.

So, guys with "sugar mommas" are cheaters -- and women with "sugar daddies" stick around.

Study author Christin Munsch suggests the following explanation: "It may be that men who make less money than their partners are more unhappy and cheat because they are unhappy, not necessarily because they make less money."

Ironically, men who make significantly more than their female partners are also more likely to cheat.

"At one end of the spectrum, making less money than a female partner may threaten men's gender identity by calling into question the traditional notion of men as breadwinners," Munsch said. "At the other end of the spectrum, men who make a lot more money than their partners may be in jobs that offer more opportunities for cheating like long work hours, travel, and higher incomes that make cheating easier to conceal."

STUDY: Boys & Girls Not As Different As Previously Thought

Through the years there have been plenty of studies showing how boys and girls have different psychological make-ups. But, a new study from Michigan State University suggests that boys and girls are really not that different -- especially as they get closer to adolescence. The researchers admit that girls tend to hang out in smaller, more intimate groups than boys, but this difference disappears by the time children reach the eighth grade, most likely because that's when there's increased interaction with the opposite sex. "Younger boys and girls tend to play in same-sex peer groups," Neal said. "But every parent can relate to that moment when their son or daughter suddenly takes an interest, whether social or romantic, in the opposite sex." These findings are a big deal because kid's peer groups can promote negative behaviors like bullying and positive behaviors like helping others. Source: UPI

TECHNOLOGY: Gadgets That Are On Their Way Out

Technology changes fast -- and it's only going to change faster through the years. There are some surprisingly new gadgets out there that are already close to becoming obsolete: Digital Cameras -- The Android smartphone takes pictures up to eight megapixels. The new iPhones take pictures at five megapixels. Why carry a phone and a camera when the phone does it all? Navigation Devices -- Again, smartphones are taking over. They have GPS capabilities and you can buy turn-by-turn apps. The Kindle -- Amazon.com's book reader is nice ... unless you have an iPad, which is cooler, sleeker and can do so much more than read books.
