SAN DIEGO, CALIF - Jason Murchison has been drawn to the ocean his whole life. Surfing is his passion, and for him, there is nothing like the adrenaline rush of a good barrel wave. He also loves that surfing doesn’t have to be competitive; it can be just about the synergy of him and the ocean. It’s good for the soul.
Born and bred in Southern California, Jason began surfing when he was in kindergarten. And no matter where his life has taken him over the years, he always made sure there was an ocean nearby.
After attending the University of Hawaii and spending time as a diver in the Navy, Jason decided to turn his passion into his career and started teaching surfing lessons. Once he realized the demand for lessons was enough to pay his bills, his life fell into place. He gave up his original idea of practicing law – even though he had made it through the rigors of law school—and poured himself into building a business.
The only thing standing between him and the full realization of his dream is the local government.

DENVER COL - At least four suspects worked together to steal two bulldog puppies from a pet store in Colorado, with one of the alleged assailants faking a seizure to create a distraction, according to authorities.
Surveillance footage released by the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office shows the moment one of the suspects dropped to the floor while imitating a medical episode.
In the video, employees and customers are tending to the man while another suspect grabs the puppies as an employee repeatedly shouts, "Stop!" Two employees are knocked to the ground as they try to save the animals.
The suspect then trips and drops both puppies before grabbing them again and running out of the store.
Authorities said they tracked down one of the suspects, as well as one of the puppies. The puppy was returned with staff at the Perfect Pets pet store on Tuesday. Click here to read more.
