Sports: Dirk Nowitzki’s ex has a bun in the oven. He wants sole custody.

  • Our only focus in this case is to ensure the laws of the state of Texas are complied with to protect any and all rights Taylor has in delivery [of the baby] and her rights as a mother.
  • Scott Renick • Lawyer for Crystal Taylor, the ex-girlfriend of Dallas Mavericks superstar Dirk Nowitzki. Taylor is currently pregnant, and if that child proves to be his, Nowitzki wants it as his and his alone. That sounds like a very strange minefield to wade through, by the way, fraught with drama. • source

Biz, U.S.: Everybody’s favorite ponzi schemer, R. Allen Stanford, in custody

  • He surrendered to FBI agents while hanging at hs gf’s place. Stanford, who’s on the hook for $8 billion in freaking fraud, was arrested last night in the case. According to his attorney, Dick DeGuerin, here’s how it went down: “Federal agents in black SUVs surrounded his girlfriend’s house this afternoon, and just sat there. I told him to walk out and introduce himself. So he did, and he asked them, ‘If you’ve got a warrant, take me into custody. If you don’t, I’m going to Houston.’ And they did, so they arrested him.” He’ll be in court today. source

World: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran plays his Supreme Leader card

  • I will not give in to illegal demands. If we break the law, we will have to do it in every election and no election would be immune. This is wrong. This is the beginning of dictatorship.
  • Ayatollah Ali Khamenei • Who called on the protesters – you know, a million strong yesterday – to call off peaceful protests supporting Mir Hossein Mousavi or face the consequences. Who does this jerk think he is? Note the twisted language in this message. By the way, he also trashed on the Western media again. • source
