YARMOUTH, Maine — Evidence of O.J Simpson’s innocence was held back in the 1995 trial in which he was acquitted in the murder of his ex-wife and her friend in Los Angeles, one of his former lawyers says in a 20,000-word document document. F. Lee Bailey tells of four people who could have bolstered Simpson’s case but never testified.
NEW YORK — Michael Douglas says his tumor is gone and that he may have beaten throat cancer. In a taped interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer, Douglas said he felt relieved after a “wild, six-month ride.” He said that he had lost 32 pounds, but was now working out and had put 12 pounds back on.
Gaming revenues fell almost 6 percent in November, ending a three-month rally by Nevada casinos.

With the recent economic downturn and declines in home values, sales and ownership rates observed over the last few years, many people have been questioning whether buying and owning a home is a wise decision right now.
We’re in the process of buying a “short sale.” The house was on the market for $97,000, and we offered $95,000 cash, an offer that was accepted by the owner and the real estate office representing the owner. The lender now wants an appraisal on the property, even though they have verbally accepted our offer. It seems funny that banks say they cannot get rid of these properties, but when someone has cash they don’t want it.
For years, the tried-and-true axiom among real estate professionals was that putting dollars into smart remodeling projects paid handsome dividends to homeowners. But judging by the latest data published in Remodeling magazine’s 2010-11 Cost vs. Value Report, sinking money into a major room/area redo may not be a worthy investment right now.
