Former pro wrestler Theodore "Ted" DiBiase Jr., the son of the WWE legend known as “The Million Dollar Man,” has been charged with fraud and theft of federal funds in connection with a Mississippi welfare scandal that has embroiled NFL great Brett Favre.

The case against DiBiase marks a significant turn in a federal investigation that has already ensnared the state’s former welfare director and the women who ran the nonprofit group, among others.

Like Favre, DiBiase received money from a nonprofit corporation that was allocating millions of federal dollars meant for poor women and children, according to federal prosecutors.

The DiBiase indictment declares the funding a “sham” arrangement designed to divert federal safety net funds for the personal use of DiBiase, the former welfare director, and “others known and unknown to the grand jury.”

Apropos of this, I still don't understand why Favre hasn't been charged. Is he Teflon or something?

2. I don't know

if the Southern Miss volleyball arena is used by other teams, but I've seen the arena the women's (and possibly the men's) basketball team plays in and it is definitely WEIRD. The floor is round, with the rectangular arena inside that, so that in effect the seats are way far away from everything. A player's mom who sat behind us at the JMU women's games said it is the strangest arena she's ever seen. No seats are anywhere near the floor, she said, and the seating angles are also rather strange. I asked her if it was the same one as the new volleyball arena and she didn't know but said it was new.
