SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) ? Rainer Reinscheid was into his second bottle of wine when he wrote a chilling email titled, "a good plan," detailing violent revenge on the people he blamed for his teen son's suicide.
His son hanged himself after being disciplined at high school in March, sending the University of California, Irvine, professor into a downward spiral that authorities said led to setting fires and venting his anger in graphic emails describing plans for a mass murder, sexual assaults and his own death.
Reinscheid fantasized about buying a dozen machine guns, killing 200 University High School students, raping a school counselor and killing the assistant principal who disciplined his 14-year-old son, Claas Stubbe.
"I will make him cry and beg, but I will not give him a chance, just like he did to Claas," Reinscheid wrote. "I will make him die, slowly, surely. Next I will set fire to Uni High and try to burn down as much as I can, there should be nothing left that gives them a reason to continue their miserable school."
Reinscheid never acted on his most violent musings and police have no evidence he was preparing for a shooting, but prosecutors charged him with a series of small arsons that targeted the high school, the assistant principal's home and the park where Claas hanged himself.
Five fires erupted between July 1 and July 19, and police caught Reinscheid as he tried to start a sixth one July 24, Irvine police Lt. Julia Engen said.
While investigating the fires, police discovered three emails Reinscheid sent to his wife and himself in April from his university account. Copies of the messages were filed in court by prosecutors to have him held without bail. He's due in court for arraignment Aug. 8.
In the emails, the distraught father asks his wife to forgive him for many disappointments but asks her to understand that he "had to go this way" after detailing plans to kill the vice principal and destroy the school in a firestorm.
"You would have done the same if it was your child that you failed," he wrote to her April 26.
Claas was Reinscheid's son from a first marriage. He has a stepdaughter and son from his second marriage.
He asked his wife to tell their son, "Daddy was so sad when Claas passed away, he was just eaten away by his sadness and stopped breathing."
Two nights later, while on medication to stay awake and "legally drunk" while downing a second bottle of wine, Reinscheid wrote to himself about how he had fantasized about having sex with every young girl he saw on campus that day.
Then he discussed his "dreams" of mass murder at the high school, including explicit details of how he planned to make a teacher get naked in front of students and stab herself with a red pencil before he shot her in the head.
"I will give myself a wonderful ending and be with Claas very soon," he wrote. "I like this plan, finally a good idea."
Reinscheid, a professor of pharmaceutical sciences who also holds German citizenship, has not been charged with anything related to the content of the emails because they were private communications, said Farrah Emami, an Orange County district attorney's spokeswoman.
Defense attorney Ron Cordova did not return multiple calls for comment. He told the judge in court Tuesday that he didn't want his client to "suffer from a media circus."
Bruce Blumberg, a pharmaceutical colleague at UC Irvine, said Reinscheid was angry over the investigation into his son's suicide and was considering legal action against the school district.
"This is all a tragedy," said Blumberg. "A boy is dead and he shouldn't be and his father is doing allegedly crazy things that he shouldn't be doing. It's all a crazy situation."
The son killed himself March 14 after being ordered to pick up trash for stealing from the student store.
After the suicide, rumors circulated around school that the teen had been bullied, but police and the school district say they found no such evidence.
Ian Hanigan, a district spokesman, said Reinscheid was angry with school administrators because they informed the teen's stepsister of his death at the school, with no family members present, after failing to reach anyone on her emergency contact list. The school had no other complaints from Reinscheid after his son's death and the professor hadn't threatened any school administrators.
Blumberg's wife, Dejoie, remains close friends with Claas' mother, Doerte Stubbe. She said Claas seemed affected by his parents' divorce and split time between Reinscheid and his mother, who has multiple sclerosis.
After the boy's death, Stubbe told her Reinscheid said he was writing "goodbye letters" to everyone.
"At that point she said that she just didn't care and I figured it was him grieving, venting and that sort of thing. There was no threat," Dejoie Blumberg said. "I figured he was very, very and extremely depressed ? as any parent would be."
Longtime friend Olivier Civelli, chairman of the pharmacology department, said Reinscheid was devastated by his son's suicide but tried to keep it quiet at work. He showed no signs of the deep anger evident in the emails.
"Rainer is not a violent person. Rainer never had a gun, I can tell you that," said Civelli, who picked up Reinscheid's car after his arrest last week. "I think that maybe he was doing that to vent his anger, he was telling (it) to someone who was close ? his wife."
That's an argument Reinscheid's defense would likely use if the case goes to trial ? and perhaps an argument that could keep the emails away from a jury entirely, said Jacqueline Goodman, a criminal defense attorney.
His attorney will likely argue that Reinscheid never intended to act on his writings, and was simply expressing his anguish.
"You have to take into account the context in which these writings come. He's so emotionally distressed and now he's under the comingled influence of psychotropic drugs and alcohol and he's writing these things ? not acting on them ? just writing them down," Goodman said. "He's clearly not in his right mind. It's like writing in a diary."
When police searched Reinscheid's car, they found a red folder containing a newly signed will and also discovered a power of attorney document on his computer that gave his wife control over his finances and children, according to a police report obtained by The Associated Press.
Reinscheid has been at UC Irvine for about a dozen years and rode his bike to work every day from his house on campus. His research included studying molecular pharmacology and psychiatric disorders, including studies of schizophrenia, stress, emotional behavior and sleep, according to the school's website.
He had requested a leave of absence from UCI, according to a police report.

Google Play developer policies have been updated, we like where this is heading
Google has sent out an e-mail about updates to their Google Play developer policies, and it's clear that they are trying to reign in some questionable behavior that goes on in our beloved app store. There's some standard stuff to go along with new features, like guidelines and cancelation policies for the new subscription billing service, but the bulk of the new changes are user facing and designed to make our experience better all around. Here's a quick bullet point of the major changes:
- Restricting the use of names or icons confusingly similar to existing system apps in order to reduce user confusion
- Providing more detail on the kinds of dangerous products that are not allowed on Google Play. For example, apps that disclose personal information without authorization are not allowed.
- Giving more examples of practices that violate the spam policy.
- Adding a new section that addresses ad behavior in apps.
The first couple of points are easy enough to understand, and Google is stepping in to keep folks from being tricked by unscrupulous developers. With over 600,000 applications in Google Play, there are bound to be a few who just want your eyeballs on ads and will do anything to make that happen. A lot of these apps also will try to work around the rules and just want your address book or web history. It stinks, but just like the rest of the world some folks take the low road to make a buck. With these new policies in place, Google can show them the door if they get crafty and don't play fair.
The third point is downright awesome. Have a look at the complete policy here, and see how Google makes it plain about what is and isn't allowed in their store, and just what they consider as spam. This is how we like to see things explained -- in clear, concise language with no weaseling around. In their house, you play by their rules, and now you know them.
Finally, they are getting a grip on ad SDKs and networks that practice in shady behavior. With words like deceiving consumers and disruptive behavior, Google has lain the smack down and let these companies -- and the developers who use them -- know that the days of the wild west are numbered. A clear set of rules on how ads can behave has been a long time coming.
Google is still wide open. With the tick of a checkbox users are free to install any application they please, and we wouldn't want it any other way. We also want a consistent, and dare we say better, experience from Google's own store. We're tired of fake Temple Run games and apps that seem to exist only to harvest marketing data. As savvy users we tend to quickly ferret out these kind of apps and give them the boot, but now it looks like Google is prepared to step in and help those who may not be Android enthusiasts. With the apparent push of the Google Play brand, we say the timing is perfect.
Check out the full text of the e-mail after the break.

EMPIRE of DIRT (click Cash cover of "Hurt"): Medical Bankruptcy ...
Medical Bankruptcy: Trying to Fight Colon Cancer Without Insurance Coverage
Please forgive me for this pun, but blogger quoted below gives the straight poop on life with cancer without health insurance.It ain't pretty.
Read this and then tell me the richest country in the world cannot afford health care for all like the rest of the industrialized world has.
[Fortunately, in part due to my young age and the extraordinary care I have received at the University of Arizona Cancer Center, I?ve been able to cope quite well so far despite the difficulties of treatment.Unfortunately, cancer treatment is quite expensive, and recently the ASU student insurance plan stopped covering my cost of care. The Aetna student health insurance plan provided by ASU caps the lifetime insurance benefit paid out at $300,000, which the high cost of treatment used up in less than one year.]

New poll gives Cruz the nod over Dewhurst in GOP Senate runoff
WFAA
Posted on July 29, 2012 at 10:06 PM
Updated yesterday at 11:09 PM
A new independent poll released Sunday night shows that Ted Cruz is poised to pull off a huge upset Tuesday in the Republican primary runoff for U.S. Senate.
In the survey conducted by Public Policy Polling, Cruz leads Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst by 10 points ? 52 to 42 percent ? with six percent of those questioned undecided.
Perhaps more importantly, the poll shows how strong Cruz's momentum is going into Tuesday's runoff.
Among those who voted early last week, Cruz leads Dewhurst 55-40 percent.
The Dewhurst campaign insists it is ahead, with an internal poll leaked over the weekend showing Dewhurst leading 48-43.? But the Dewhurst poll didn't release details of its methodology and "cross tabs" that transparently indicate how the survey was conducted like the PPP poll.
In a release, PPP said that Cruz has tightened his grip on tea party voters, "Cruz is ahead by a whooping 75-22 margin with tea party voters, more than making up for a 56-39 deficit to Dewhurst with voters who don't consider themselves members of that movement," the poll said.
But Dewhurst isn't rolling over.? He's hammering Cruz in TV ads in the final days with millions he loaned his campaign from his own personal fortune. Dewhurst has been traveling the state over the weekend exhorting voters to get out and vote for him on Tuesday.
On Monday, Dewhurst will be joined by Gov. Rick Perry and the other top candidates Dewhurst?beat in the May 29 primary ? ? former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert and former ESPN analyst and SMU football star Craig James ?? at a campaign stop in Dallas.
Cruz has yet to announce his Monday schedule.
Although the PPP poll released Sunday and another in mid-July give Cruz the momentum, the fiery runoff race for the seat that Kay Bailey Hutchison is leaving is still in uncharted waters.?
There hasn't been a runoff in late July in Texas that's also?some 63?days after the primary.? No one can safely predict how many GOP primary voters will return, or how many new voters who didn't vote in either party's primary will be drawn to participate in the GOP senate runoff.
Details from the PPP release on its poll: PPP surveyed 665 likely Republican runoff voters on July 28 and 29. The margin of error for the survey is +/-3.8 percent. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political organization. PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews.

Isabella & Max Rooms: Oh, Which House Would You Pick?!
Sunday evening I attended this years Street of Dreams in Portland, arriving as late in the day as I thought I could get away with (with family in tow) in attempt to avoid the crowds. My husband I thought it'd be fun to take in the event as a date, but the kids would have none of that. They love a good house tour (fantasy house hunt) as much as their mother...oh, they do me proud!
Get ready for one long post! Today I'm showing you two houses, one my family voted as the one they would buy, if we were looking (and looking in this price range) and the other I selected. I couldn't do a thing to convince them to change their minds, but in the end I think they actually got me over to their side.?
House 1:
This house surprised me, looking at the floor plan before the show I wasn't that taken with it. But once inside, it proved to be amazingly cozy and welcoming with an absolutely fantastic flow. A staircase near the?master and a second on the other side of the first floor off the kitchen made moving through the rooms a breeze with everything very accessible. And then there were the details. Millwork, and more fabulous millwork, lighting from Rejuvenation Hardware throughout and a soothing and sophisticated ?color palette of whites, creams and grays.
The barrel vaulted ceiling had me at first glance into this home, which paid a lot of attention to its architectural details throughout.
A hallway is not left to be simply a passageway. From below...
...and above.
The kitchen was not over the top, but beautiful with classic detailing.
An outdoor space off a studio looking down to the covered entertaining area off the kitchen.
The master suite was striking with a checkerboard grasscloth on the headboard wall, and a stunning bathroom beyond.
A tub tucked perfectly into a little nook.
And it seems a washer and dryer are all the rage in master walk-in closets.
Leaving the master, turning to the right was the staircase to the upper floor. I loved the floor tile and the abundance of paneled walls.
Details add up, a recessed area at the top of the stairs to feature a piece of artwork.
Upstairs bath, classic and timeless.
The upstairs family room slash media room featured a curved wall of windows, a beamed ceiling...
gorgeous bar...
...and stairs leading back down to the kitchen.
Like I said, this floorplan was fantastic, making the home feel cozy and?livable.
And back out the front door where a cluster of fixtures made quite the statement.?
I didn't want to leave.
House 2:
Now this was the house that looked great on paper, I simply adored the placement of the pantry, butler's pantry and mudroom with pass through to the pantry. How brilliant is that??
Somehow, despite taking hundreds of photos, I didn't end up with a great shot of the exterior of house two.
Upon entering there was a handsome studio with plank flooring and grasscloth walls.
But straight ahead was the one of the best features of this home, the family room opening up to the outdoor entertaining area...
...which naturally was covered. It's Oregon after all, we want to be outdoors more than the couple of months a year it doesn't rain!
Off the outdoor area, adjacent to the family room was the dining room, separated but open to the kitchen with a pass through. Loved this.
Such cheerful tile!
A generous pantry with a second refrigerator.
From the pantry looking back through the kitchen to the family room.
But on the other side of the pantry wall sat the mudroom with a pass through for groceries...
...just off the garage. Isn't this just the best space planning, this would be sooooo convenient!
Through a second butlers pantry into the morning room.
The master was not my favorite room, but I liked the bathroom.?
Broken into a few smaller spaces it had a cozy feel, and I liked the brown tile.
The closet? Wow. It went on forever...
...complete with washer and dryer.
More cheerful tile in yellows in the kid's upstairs bath.
And back to the kitchen, such a fantastic space in this house!
Which one would you select?
And if you didn't guess, I was wild over the look and feel of the first house. It simply had an elegant and chic look which was special. But my family was crazy over house two with it's main floor living spaces and access to the backyard...so in the end I had to agree with them. If we were really house hunting we'd be moving into house number two!
And can you believe there were FIVE more homes?!?
One including the cutest little cottage in the backyard of a Tudor style home. More later in the week!
