I concede on this to a point. Yes, I've witnessed instances like these, too, where basic attraction takes a back seat to other concerns.
I admit my comments were made in the context of U.S. society. I can see how public perception would blur all Asians together, regardless of cultural background and birthplace.
That's a big interest of mine, how Asian culture and preferences change after so many years/generations of U.S. cultural assimilation.
(Note: Personally, I'm a 1st generation U.S.-born citizen. Caucasian mother, Asian father who was born & raised in Hawai'i.)
There was no alarm pulled. It was a sensor, like smoke detectors in a house, that went off.
Do you know why/what would activare this sensor?
Not dumb at all, Jerseygirl. I never meant to imply that. It's an interesting research pursuit (DNA vs autoclave). Here's more conflicting research: http://www.bio.net/bionet/mm/mol-evol/1996-August/004653.html
I think it's a moot issue and just a postulation, anyway. Interesting, though.

Reports state that RC graduated from HS in 2004. How is he 24?? I graduated in 2001 and am 25. Started Kindergarten late + held back?

Gotta tell you that I've had this thought myself at the beginning of the case, even before this news about the girlfriend addressing the cheating rumors on her blog. I didn't mention it because I felt like I would be dissing Annie's memory for some reason, even though we hash stuff out here in order to come to conclusions.
Anyway, my point is that I think you may very well be on to something with this.
From the traffic ticket, IIRC, he was born in 1985. This would make him 24 now and 19 in 2004 (maybe 18 when he graduated and later that year turned 19).
LOL -- I hope my math is right because I've written this a couple of times without using the calculator on my laptop.
ETA: AFAIK, we do not know his birthday. If you are 25, were you born in 1984 and graduated when you were 17? Do you have a summer birthday? I do, and I turned 18 after graduating from highschool while all of my friends had already turned 18 (and one would be 19 just 3 months after I turned 18).

In my opinion here's NO WAY that happened - a fling between Ray & Annie. JMHO. The closest to any romantic involvment might be a one-way infatuation, and Annie failing to nip it in the bud because she didn't recongnize it, or felt it would pass and she'd just ignore it.
However, IMO, it's more likely the POI, over time, has built up considerable resentment towards grad students in general, and focused that resentment on Annie.
I posted this in the other thread but the thread is deleted now...looks like a thick book (possibly biology of some type) and maybe papers/file/notebook under it. Either way, you can see that the main thick white part is something that is held together by a binding of some sort. I'm going with a text book, a thick one, and reports or file underneath.
This thread will be closed and if the conversation continues here about the alarm...it will be lost in the sea of general discussion. It is better to move now to the appropriate threads for all discussions.The Alarm - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community
(I don't know if this means we can't talk about the alarm here but there is a thread.)
