Earlier in the week, Toyota release a statement saying that they have found a solution to the problem, and that Toyota owners will be able to have their recalled models repaired at their local dealerships soon.

Sweat Lodge Lawsuit

Sweat Lodge Lawsuit – James Arthur Ray was seen being led away in handcuffs after being charged with two counts of manslaughter. Ray is being charged after two of his norther Arizona self-help seminar “Spiritual Warrior” died, and nineteen others fell ill, during a sweat lodge exercise. Reports say Ray chided those who attempted to leave, but Legal Paramount spoke with one witness who said that simply was not the case. The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, said she stood up, stepped over Ray, and walked out about twenty to thirty minutes after entering the sweat lodge, and Ray said nothing.
