Two Russian directors boil to death in sauna

TWO Russian men died in a sauna after jumping into a plunge pool that had accidentally been heated to boiling point, investigators and media said.

The two men jumped into the pool to cool down after sweating in a steam room.

A third man tried to save the victims but was unable to pull the men out of the boiling water, Komsomolskaya Pravda tabloid reported today.

The two men's bodies were discovered in the sauna in the city of Kirov in central Russia on February 18 and "their death was caused by overheating", the Kirov regional investigative committee confirmed in a statement.

The water in the pool was "overheated due to an error by one of the victims," investigators said.

Saunas usually include a cold plunge pool.

The men were named by investigators as the director of an old people's home and the director of a residential home for people with psychiatric problems.

LANCASTER-- A man was stabbed in the neck with a meat thermometer after asking a woman to silence her cell phone in a movie theater, a sheriff's department official said.

The stabbing occurred last Saturday at the Cinemark 22 theater at 2600 West Avenue I in Lancaster, according to Detective Richard Cartmill of the Lancaster sheriff's station.

Deputies say that while the movie was playing, a woman was talking on her phone and the victim asked her to turn it off.

The victim was attacked by the woman's boyfriend and another man. Deputies say he was stabbed in the neck with a meat thermometer.

The victim was hospitalized and is expected to survive. Two other people who attempted to help the victim were also injured in the altercation.

Sheriff's officials describe the suspects as black males. One man was wearing an orange hat with an orange jacket or jersey. The other man was dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt.

Anyone with information on the attack is asked to contact the Lancaster sheriff's station at (661) 948-8466.

– Lee Jin-gyu fell for his ‘dakimakura’ – a kind of large, huggable pillow from Japan, often with a picture of a popular anime character printed on the side. In Lee’s case, his beloved pillow has an image of Fate Testarossa, from the ‘magical girl’ anime series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. Now the 28-year-old otaku has wed the pillow in a special ceremony, after fitting it out with a wedding dress for the service in front of a local priest. Their nuptials were eagerly chronicled by the local media. ’He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere,’ said one friend. ’They go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him. Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal,’ they added. The pillow marriage is not the first similarly-themed unusual marriage in recent times – it comes after a Japanese otaku married his virtual girlfriend Nene Anegasaki, a character who only exists in the Nintendo DS game Love Plus, last November.

Mirror - A window cleaner died after stabbing himself in the groin repeatedly with a jumbo souvenir pencil, an inquest heard. Jeffrey Burton’s family and friends were baffled by his bizarre death. Mr Burton, 57, was found by police in a blood-soaked room in his house in St Leonards. When police broke into his house they found Mr Burton lying on his back, wearing only his underpants. The room was splattered with blood and music was still playing on his stereo. The giant blood-covered pencil was beside him. East Sussex coroner Alan Craze told the Hastings inquest: “It’s a mystery to me. If you were choosing to take your own life, that’s not the way you would do it. “It seems to me that it can’t have been a single stab wound. He seems to have worked on it. The pencil was blunt.” Mr Burton’s sister Patricia Goodell told the hearing the pencil had sentimental value to her brother as it once belonged to their late mother. The inquest heard Mr Burton had suffered a single psychotic episode in 2006 but when he died he was sociable and healthy and looking forward to a holiday. He had never tried to commit suicide before and did not leave a note.

The Military is getting back to one of the things it does best: raping.

A choice quote from the article after claiming that reporting of assault was up: "The Pentagon offered no evidence that reporting rather than sexual assault itself was on the rise in the military,"

Nice. I feel like my workplace handles sexual assault a little better. When our staff is stressed out my boss calls a meeting and rings a special bell and screams "it's rape time!" We then all know that we're free to rape each other at will. I raped a college intern the other day--some people said that was taking liberties with policy, but he showed up to work that day and acts like he's staff so he's fair game I say. I got jumped near some shelves yesterday and was violated by three staff members. They penetrated me with various books and office supplies. I'd like to complain, but seriously--when there's stress and tension in the workplace what else is there to do but start raping your coworkers? There's literally no other remedy.

A man who assaulted a female police officer with his penis has been fined.
Marium Varinauskas, 28, tried to strike the officer on the head with his penis when she was called out to his flat, but she got out of the way.

Lithuanian Varinauskas admitted a charge of assault at Aberdeen Sheriff Court and was fined £600.
The court heard he had been drinking heavily and could not remember committing the offence at his home in Aberdeen.

Police were called to his home by his girlfriend, who had complained about him being drunk last November.

They arrived to find the self-employed engineer sitting on the sofa wearing a pair of underpants.

Fiscal depute Elaine Lynch said: "The accused got to his feet and was standing over the police officer exposing his penis and thrusting it in her face, forcing her to take evasive action to avoid getting struck."
Defence solicitor John Hardie said: "He was sitting on the couch drunk with his pants on.

"He can't remember anything but accepts that if that's what the police say then that's what happened.

"He has never been so drunk before that day and accepts he has to take full responsibility. He apologises profusely and is extremely embarrassed."

His not guilty plea to committing a breach of the peace by uttering offensive and sexual remarks was accepted by the Crown.

Sheriff Annella Cowan was told that the Lithuanian had now quit binge drinking because of the incident.

her school district has a problem with it. you can't wear a speedo, you can't wear a skeleton costume, you can't wear a tuxedo if you're a chick, sorry. there's a dress code. if you don't want to follow it, you can't go. pretty simple, in my view.

now this bitch is wasting time and money taking this shit to federal court? are you really that desperate for the world to know you're a dyke? ok, you like to lick vagina, we get it. wear a tux and a fake mustache whenever you leave the house, fantastic. but your school says you can't do it at the prom. they put on the event, they make the rules. if you don't like it, again, stay the fuck home.

that is not the dress code. the dress code is tuxedoes for men, gowns for women.

because that is the place where they historically decide things like can black and white people go to school together.

no one said she can't attend school with straights. a school district is allowed to make and enforce rules that are within reason. telling a girl she has to follow her prom's dress code is within reason.

when you're a minor, everything is different. gay-marriage friendly though as this nation is becoming, there still isn't a state in the union that would allow this girl to get married. when she's an adult, no one will stop her from wearing whatever she wants to a club, and she can shake her tuxedoed ass on the dance floor all she wants. as of now, she's at the mercy of her school's rules, simple as that.

Scientists Creating Cloak Of Invisibility

Researchers Make Tiny Bump Disappear

RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON -- From Grimm's fairy tales to Harry Potter, the cloak of invisibility has played a major role in fiction. Now scientists have taken a small but important new step toward making it reality.

Researchers at Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology report they were able to cloak a tiny bump in a layer of gold, preventing its detection at nearly visible infrared frequencies.

Their cloaking device also worked in three dimensions, while previously developed cloaks worked in two dimensions, lead researcher Tolga Ergin said.

The cloak is a structure of crystals with air spaces in between, sort of like a woodpile, that bends light, hiding the bump in the gold later beneath, the researchers reported in Thursday's online edition of the journal Science.

In this case, the bump was tiny, a mere 0.00004 inch high and 0.0005 inch across, so that a magnifying lens was needed to see it.

"In principle, the cloak design is completely scalable; there is no limit to it," Ergin said. But, he added, developing a cloak to hide something takes a long time, "so cloaking larger items with that technology is not really feasible."

"Other fabrication techniques, though, might lead to larger cloaks," he added in an interview via e-mail.

The value of the finding, Ergin said, "is that we learn more about the concepts of transformation optics, and that we have made a first step in producing 3-D structures in that field."

"Invisibility cloaks are a beautiful and fascinating benchmark for the field of transformation optics, and it is very seldom that one can foretell what practical applications might arise out of a field of fundamental research," he added.

In earlier research, a team led by David Schurig at Duke University developed a way to cloak objects in two dimensions from microwaves. Like light and radar waves, microwaves usually bounce off objects, making them visible to instruments and creating a shadow that can be detected.

The new research led by Ergin used infrared waves, which are close to the spectrum of visible light.

In cloaking, special materials deflect radar, light or other waves around an object, like water flowing around a smooth rock in a stream. It differs from stealth technology, which does not make an aircraft invisible but reduces the cross-section available to radar, making it hard to track.

Ergin's research was supported by the German Research Council, the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, the European Commission and the German Ministry for Education and Research.

Ellen Gives $30K To Miss. Lesbian In Prom Flap

School Canceled Prom Because Teen Wanted Partner As Date

JACKSON, Miss. -- A lesbian high school student embroiled in a legal flap over her school's prom policy has received a $30,000 scholarship on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

Constance McMillen was speechless Friday when the talk show host pulled out an oversized check from the Web site Tonic.Com, a digital media company.

DeGeneres says she admires McMillen for challenging Itawamba County School District rules that would prevent her from escorting her girlfriend to the prom. The school district canceled the April 2 prom after McMillen's request.

A hearing is scheduled Monday in federal court in Aberdeen on American Civil Liberties Union efforts to force the district to hold the prom.

(CNN) -- A Pennsylvania man attempted to resuscitate "a road-killed opossum," state police say.

But this was one possum who wasn't playing possum -- the ugly creature remained dead.

Troopers responding to the scene in Oliver Township on Thursday determined that Donald J. Wolfe, 55, of Brookville, was drunk, according to the police report.

Several witnesses observed Wolfe's failed resurrection of the flattened marsupial, police said. It was not immediately clear how he endeavored to restore the possum's life.

The arresting officer in the incident was unavailable for comment Friday. Attempts to reach Wolfe were also unsuccessful.

Wolfe will be charged with one charge of public drunkenness, police said.

St. Paul man says amputee girlfriend hit him first

He's charged with fifth-degree assault

Updated: 03/29/2010 11:26:16 PM CDT

A St. Paul man charged with beating up a quadruple amputee last week admitted Monday that he hit the woman, but only after she hit him first.

A criminal complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court said Jacoby Laquan Smith got angry at his girlfriend, Tiesha Bell, because she blocked his view of the television in their East Side apartment. He threw Bell to the floor and punched her in the face more than 10 times in the March 22 incident, according to the criminal complaint.

But in a telephone interview, Smith, 33, said the dispute with Bell, 28, started with an argument over whether she was seeing another man.

"I had been dealing with her cheating on me," Smith said.

Smith said the argument escalated after "I turned on the TV and she got mad."

"She punched me in the groin," Smith said. He said Bell also hit him with a coffee canister and a bedpan.

"It was full of pee," he said.

In response, Smith said, "I hit her once and that was it. Maybe twice."

Although Bell had both hands and part of both legs amputated because of a childhood illness, Smith said, she can still be violent when she loses her temper.

"She'll swing, push me down and choke me with her nubs," Smith said. He said she also hit him with her wheelchair.

Bell agreed Monday that there was hitting on both sides. She said she plans to marry Smith and doesn't want him to serve jail time.

"We both need anger management," she said.

Smith has been charged with fifth-degree assault, a misdemeanor, and interfering with a 911 call, a gross misdemeanor. He said he plans to turn himself in to St. Paul police later this week.

Man, 19, Almost Dies After Cutting Off His Genitals - Incredible Health - FOXNews.com

Tuesday, March 30, 2010

A young man cut off his own penis and threw it down a well after learning that his girlfriend was going to marry another man, The Jakarta Globe reported Tuesday.

The jilted lover came incredibly close to death, doctors said, after losing a massive amount of blood during the incident in Central Java's Bantasari village.

He was rushed to Cilacap General Hospital in critical condition where doctors saved his life — but they could not reattach his penis because officials were unable to recover it from the well.

"It was a critical time," hospital director Sugeng Budi Susanto told The Globe. "Cutting off a penis can be fatal."

A source said the 19-year-old had severed his penis in a suicide bid — thinking nobody would be able to save his life.

Despite the throngs of reporters gathered at the hospital, Sugeng said the teenager was not speaking about the incident.

"He’s still too shocked and embarrassed to talk to or see anyone," he added.

Easter Madness: Chaos At Egg Drop In NH

ROCHESTER, N.H. -- Thousands of children and their parents made a mad dash for Easter eggs that were dropped Saturday from a helicopter over the Rochester Fairgrounds, turning the first-ever event into a free-for-all, Manchester TV station WMUR reported.

"I think it was like chaos," said Sarah Gallo of Stratham. "I saw some people kneeing people, and it was really, really dangerous, I thought."

"I started getting elbowed in the head and stuff. So, I just started diving over moms," said Johnnie Plaisted of Rochester.

A Seacoast-area church organized the Easter egg hunt. And while nearly 60,000 eggs fell from the sky, nearly 10,000 people showed up -- surprising organizers.

Next Level Church members said they expected 1,000 to 2,000 people.

"We are sorry if they're upset. We did everything we could to give their family a nice time for free," said the Rev. Joshua Gagnon, the church's lead pastor.

Gagnon said his church just wanted to provide parents and kids some easy fun in a tough economy, and get its message out. Free prizes were part of what drew so many, which included everything from skateboards to plasma-screen TVs.

After the first egg drop attempt, volunteers tried spreading the goodies out more evenly but had hard time holding kids back.

"As soon as they said go, we were all in the front going 'whoomp,' getting trampled on top of each other," said Deborah Savage of Rochester.

Even those who didn't get anything say it was a fun time -- scary, but fun.

"The Easter bunny will still come and I'll still get some eggs. So, I'm kind of happy about that," said Nicholas Turgeon.

Next Level Church hasn't decided for sure if it's going to attempt an egg drop next year, but was trying to pick up as many of the plastic eggs as it could for potential reuse.

A man has been charged with driving drunk and hitting the car of a retired Maryland judge who once spared him jail time in previous drunk driving case. The suspect, 45, was scheduled to be in court Wednesday to face trial on eight charges related to the August crash where he hit a car being driven by retired Montgomery County District Judge Edwin Collier. Collier, 86, and his wife Ellen Collier, 82, were both injured in the crash.

Collier presided over a case in 1998 in which police charged the man with drunk driving after an officer saw his car idling in a parking lot and gave him a sobriety test. He pleaded guilty in that case, and Collier spared him jail time, even though the man had been arrested on drunk driving charges twice in three months.

Shortchanged At White Castle?

Man calls 911 after hooker fails to deliver in fast food bathroom

APRIL 5--Meet William Ferris. The Ohio man yesterday paid a prostitute $50 with the understanding that he would receive a full menu of sexual services in the bathroom of a White Castle in Cincinnati. However, when the hooker only performed oral sex on him, Ferris--who was also expecting vaginal sex--contacted police to report that he had just been robbed. When Hamilton County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to Ferris's 911 call, his "story began to fall apart," according to an arrest report. Ferris admitted that he was not, in fact, robbed by his unidentified paid date. In an interview, a frustrated Ferris told TSG that he expected "all of it for $50," but just got "kissing and sucking" during the 20-minute bathroom encounter. He added that the hooker picked the White Castle for their assignation since its bathroom locked (and not because of the eatery's tasty belly bombers). The unemployed Ferris, charged with solicitation and making a false police report, was scheduled to be arraigned today on the misdemeanor counts. He told TSG that he will be charged with trespassing if he returns to the White Castle on Harrison Avenue.

i recently read that eating fruits and vegetables doesn't really reduce your risk of cancer as previously thought.

that made me think of the fact that i know about 15 people who have had cancer. some survived and some did not. out of the 15, 14 of them were health nuts (ie> vegetarian, herbal junkies, organic foodies, exercisers, slender, non-junk food eaters). only one was an obese, junk food-eating smoker.

i'm not promoting smoking and eating crap, but i can tell you that the people i know who got cancer even though they did everything possible to avoid it all said, "so why did i spend all that time, money, and energy eating nasty foods (seaweed, no lie), juicing, and taking all those herbs?"

ELKO, Nev. — A Twin Falls woman convicted of forcing a 13-year-old boy to touch her breasts was sentenced Monday to life in prison. Michelle Lyn Taylor, 34, was convicted of lewdness with a minor under 14 in November after a week-long trial in Elko County, Nev., District Judge Mike Memeo’s courtroom. With the conviction, Taylor faced a mandatory life sentence, and Memeo set parole eligibility after 10 years, the minimum sentence. If released on parole she must register as a sex offender and will be under lifetime supervision. The district attorney’s office did not offer a plea agreement in the case, said public defender Alina Kilpatrick, who argued the sentence is unconstitutional and doesn’t fit the crime. “The jury was not allowed to know the potential sentence in this case and the Legislature doesn’t know the facts,” she said, alluding to the minimum sentence set by the Legislature in Nevada Revised Statute. Kilpatrick said despite the parole eligibility after 10 years, there should be no mistake that it’s a life sentence for Taylor. “She is getting a greater penalty for having a boy touch her breast than if she killed him,” she said. After he sentenced her, Memeo said he was bound by state statute to impose the life sentence, but said he isn’t sure why the prosecution chose to charge her under that statute. District Attorney Gary Woodbury could not be reached for comment. Taylor, who lived in Jackpot, Nev., at the time of the crime, kissed a friend’s child, forced him to touch her breast and asked him to have sex with her in February 2008. Taylor claimed she was intoxicated and doesn’t remember what happened that night. She told jurors she roughhoused with the boy, but didn’t force him to touch her inappropriately.

BEIRUT — A senior Iranian cleric says women who wear revealing clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes. Iran is one of the world’s most earthquake-prone countries, and the cleric’s unusual explanation for why the earth shakes follows a prediction by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that a quake is certain to hit Tehran and that many of its 12 million inhabitants should relocate. “Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes,” Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media. Women in the Islamic Republic are required by law to cover from head to toe, but many, especially the young, ignore some of the more strict codes and wear tight coats and scarves pulled back that show much of the hair. “What can we do to avoid being buried under the rubble?” Sedighi asked during a prayer sermon Friday. “There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam’s moral codes.” “A divine authority told me to tell the people to make a general repentance. Why? Because calamities threaten us,” said Sedighi, Tehran’s acting Friday prayer leader.

NAGOYA (Kyodo) A 30-year-old man was arrested Saturday on suspicion of stabbing five members of his family, killing two, at a house in Toyokawa, Aichi Prefecture, and setting the building on fire. Takayuki Iwase is suspected of stabbing his father, Kazumi, 58, around 2:15 a.m. Saturday while he was sleeping in a bedroom, the police said. He was later confirmed dead. Tomomi Kanemaru, the 1-year-old daughter of Iwase’s younger brother, Fumihiko, was also confirmed dead. Iwase, who is unemployed, was taken into custody at a funeral hall near the house after admitting that he stabbed the five with a kitchen knife and set fire to the house, the police said. Iwase reportedly told police under questioning that he was angry that his account with an Internet service provider had been canceled by his father.

Lindsay Lohan Goes Deep Into Debt, SLAMS Dr. Drew

A few weeks ago we learned that Lindsay Lohan was broke and owed $23,000 in rent, and now Radaronline.com reports she is more than half a million dollars in debt.

"Lindsay owes credit cards $600,000," a source tells Radar. "One card cut her off last week and it's only a matter of time before all her other credit cards cut her off too." The source said that if Lindsay cannot make her payments, the credit card company is prepared to sue her.

Over the weekend, Dr. Drew Pinsky wrote in his blog on the Huffington Post that if he were Lindsay's parent, he would go to any length to get her into treatment, including involving law enforcement. Earlier Dr. Drew said he would frame her by packing her car full of substances, if that's what it took.

Lindsay responded to Gossip Cop, "He's a quack and a sell-out... Please tell him to stop!"

She also dismissed Dr. Drew's concerns about her addiction, saying, "I'm fine."

"He's such a loser," she said. "He's not a real doctor, he's a celebrity doctor."

According to onlookers, Lindsay appeared "wasted" and obviously impaired at Coachella over the weekend.

Lol at this shit. Only in florida.

http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/apr/21/homeless-mother-15-says-she-needs-help-justice/news-metro/

TAMPA - The din of a room at the Economy Inn on East Busch Boulevard is nearly deafening at times.

Twelve children ranging from teenagers to toddlers to infants are here, scrambling across the floor, bouncing on beds. With eyes filled with resignation, they are hungry and dirty and they wear the same clothes they wore the day before and the day before that.

Mom is asking for help, saying she is homeless and hopeless. A relative paid for the hotel room for a week, and after that, who knows. Her fiancé is in prison. Her 1-year-old is named John The Baptist Brown.

Angel Adams is indignant when asked about her situation, saying somebody owes her. The lifelong Tampa resident says she wants justice from the Hillsborough County sheriff's child protection team that took her kids away from her two years ago and from Hillsborough Kids Inc., which got her kids back six months ago.

"What do I do?" she says. "I have no answers. My family has been railroaded. Someone needs to pay.
"Nobody's helping me."

Inside the dingy motel, Adams hands out a list of her children and their ages. Across the top: "Three fathers. One Mother. Fifteen Children."

Food is donated. They get Cuban sandwiches and packaged noodles. There's a microwave and mini refrigerator. No stove. One sink, one toilet, one shower. Everyone's barefoot, walking on a dirty, stained green carpet.

The dull smell of dirty diapers fills the room. Jerome, 11, gives Andrew, 6 months, a bottle. "This is not comfortable," Jerome says.

The baby coughs and spits up.

"The girls sleep on one bed," Adams says. "The boys sleep on the other. I just crash on the floor."

The 12 kids are the youngest of 15 altogether, she says. Three have "aged out," meaning they have turned 18 and are on their own, no longer a part of the child welfare system.

"I can have as many as I want to," she says. All her kids, she adds, "are gifts from God."

The 37-year-old mother doesn't work. "This is my work," she says gesturing toward the throng of children. "I do this all by myself."

She says she has needs and she wants Hillsborough Kids to take care of that.

"I need a house," she says, "a big enough home to be comfortable. The kids are scared. I'm scared."

She says she had an $800-a-month, two-bedroom apartment that was paid for by Hillsborough Kids, but she was evicted last week.

So, she sits amid her children, wondering what will happen next week.

"I don't know what I'm going to do," she says. The system, she says, "is not hearing me. This is a revolving door going nowhere."

Hillsborough Kids spokesman Elaine Olszewski said that's not the case. There is a system of support at work behind the scenes and by next week, she says, Adams likely will be in a home that will be big enough to accommodate her children.

Case managers have been in constant contact with Adams, she says, and the case is about to close. To close a case, social workers make sure all the requirements of a safe wholesome environment exist for the children and a judge signs an order.

Hillsborough Kids, which manages child welfare in the county, is working with Metropolitan Ministries to arrange a place to stay for Adams and should have one ready by next week.

"They are working on it," Olszewski says. "As far as we are concerned, this really isn't a story."

She said the children were taken away by sheriff's deputies two years ago, but were reunited with Adams six months ago, when she was set up in an apartment off North Boulevard near of Columbus Drive. A home-study report was completed to the satisfaction of everyone involved, she says.

"A judge ruled the situation sufficient," Olszewski says. The eviction involved "other issues, not having to do with us," she says.

Typically, single moms in similar situations have frequent visits by case workers, who work with charities in the community and coordinate grant money to pay for services.

"It's on a case-by-case basis," she says. "It's not that we would financially support them, but we are connected to community partners that provide assistance."

The goal when children are removed from the home is to get them back with biological parents, she said, and caseworkers try to work to that end, she says.

"Children always are better with their biological parents," she says. "Once we determine they are safe and everything is appropriate, there's a six-month period when they still are technically in the system. We continue to monitor the kids."

She says all the children of school age are enrolled and going to school, although Adams says they have not gone to school since she took up residence in the hotel. She says she can't get them to school.

"There's a lot of support out there," Olszewski says, "and we kind of direct them. She has the support from the community, churches and family members."

Once all requirements are met, a court hearing is scheduled and a judge signs off on it and the case is closed, Olszewski says.

"It was supposed to have happened last week," but something came up in the courtroom, she says. "It should be this week."

HARTFORD – A Connecticut man is due in court on charges that he targeted his neighbor in an online posting that invited strangers to a rowdy orgy with a soccer mom. Forty-two-year-old Philip James Conran is scheduled to appear Thursday in Hartford Superior Court. The West Hartford man is charged with reckless endangerment, harassment and other offenses. Police say he posted a Craigslist ad on April 5 pretending to be a neighbor with whom he’d been feuding. The ad said she wanted to fulfill her fantasy of group sex and listed her address, prompting several strangers to visit or drive by. One man was arrested after allegedly going to the wrong address and groping a teenage girl there. Police Lt. Stephen Estes said that when Zeh let himself into the house, he was confronted by an 18-year-old woman. When Zeh told the woman he was responding to the ad, Estes said, the woman said she had no idea what he was talking about and repeatedly told him to leave. Zeh wouldn’t take no for an answer, Estes said. “He’s insistent — he thinks she’s playing hard to get,” Estes said. The woman grew increasingly nervous and feared she was going to be sexually assaulted, Estes said. Zeh then showed her the craigslist ad, Estes said, and she told him he was at the wrong house. Zeh left for the house listed in the ad, Estes said. The people at that house said they did not place the ad and spent Monday morning shooing away about a dozen men ranging in age from late teens to an “80-year-old guy who looked like Santa Claus,” Estes said. When Zeh arrived, he was told to “hit the road,” Estes said. Instead, Zeh walked around behind the house and tried the back door, Estes said. When that didn’t work, the suspect went back to the first house and let himself back in, Estes said. “I want to make this thing work,” Estes said Zeh told the 18-year-old. “Now she’s really afraid,” Estes said. “He’s reaching out and grabbing her.”

Dr. Drew to Lindsay: Don't Blame Me!

Originally posted Apr 22nd 2010 11:38 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

Lindsay Lohan is holding Dr. Drew Pinsky responsible for "provoking" her father's surprise police visit today -- but Drew tells TMZ he's never even met Michael Lohan.

Moments after Michael -- along with several officers -- rolled through LiLo's apartment to check on 16-year-old Ali Lohan, Lindsay claimed that she "agreed" with a Tweet that read, "This is all that quack, Dr. Drews' fault. He purposely provoked your unstable leech of a father."

The Tweet was referring to a statement Drew made recently, in which he claimed if it were his kid he would plant drugs on her and have her as a last resort arrested to save her.

Drew tells TMZ, "I've personally never met Michael Lohan, nor Lindsay. My comments were in relation to what I would do as a father."

Drew added, "I have no direct knowledge of her case, but I hope she gets the help she needs."

First: Man freaks out on plane, tries to open cabin door. It takes 7 men to restrain him and he breaks through a belt and plastic (wtf?) handcuffs and is finally tied up with seatbelts.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A flight from Los Angeles to Florida was diverted to Albuquerque early Friday after a passenger sprayed the first-class cabin with a water bottle, tried to open a cabin door and threatened to blow up the aircraft.

Crew members and passengers on

Delta Air Lines flight 2148 to Tampa, Fla., subdued Stanley Dwayne Sheffield, 46. He was taken into federal custody after the plane landed at 1:30 a.m. Friday.

"There wasn't time to think, just react. When somebody says they're going to blow up the plane, there's no fooling around," said Tampa Bay Rays broadcaster and former major league manager Kevin Kennedy, who was among a group of eight men that subdued Sheffield.

Kennedy was asleep when the ruckus awoke him, he told reporters before Tampa Bay's baseball game Friday night against Toronto.

"Then I hear in loud voices some guy talking about Satan and death. I can hear the flight attendant, a lady who was a little bit nervous. It woke me up and I was wide awake immediately. I see this guy and he was crossing himself and flipping water around, talking about Satan. As I looked around, other guys (in first class) were kind of waking up," he said.

Second: Man kills wife and torches his own house cuz she bitched at him for watching Penguins vs Senators hockey game

SOUTH FAYETTE, Pa. (AP) — Police say a Pennsylvania man killed his wife and set their house on fire after the two argued over him staying up late to watch a hockey playoff game on TV that went into triple overtime.

Allegheny County police say Robert Abrams argued with his wife, Jeannette, early Friday because he had stayed up late to watch the Pittsburgh Penguins play the Ottawa Senators in Game 5 of their first-round matchup.

Authorities say 44-year-old Jeannette Abrams was dead before the fire started. They say he likely started the blaze to hide the killing.

Robert Abrams of South Fayette was charged Friday with homicide, arson and abuse of a corpse. He suffered burns and other injuries in the fire and was hospitalized.

Police do not have attorney information listed for Abrams.

Talk about self hating, this lady takes the cake imho:

By Amanda Kijera, civic journalist and activist in Haiti

Two weeks ago, on a Monday morning, I started to write what I thought was a very clever editorial about violence against women in Haiti. The case, I believed, was being overstated by women’s organizations in need of additional resources. Ever committed to preserving the dignity of Black men in a world which constantly stereotypes them as violent savages, I viewed this writing as yet one more opportunity to fight “the man” on behalf of my brothers. That night, before I could finish the piece, I was held on a rooftop in Haiti and raped repeatedly by one of the very men who I had spent the bulk of my life advocating for.

It hurt. The experience was almost more than I could bear. I begged him to stop. Afraid he would kill me, I pleaded with him to honor my commitment to Haiti, to him as a brother in the mutual struggle for an end to our common oppression, but to no avail. He didn’t care that I was a Malcolm X scholar. (he didn’t see her angel halo, Ed.) He told me to shut up, and then slapped me in the face. Overpowered, I gave up fighting halfway through the night.

Accepting the helplessness of my situation, I chucked aside the Haiti bracelet I had worn so proudly for over a year, along with it, my dreams of human liberation. Someone, I told myself, would always be bigger and stronger than me. As a woman, my place in life had been ascribed from birth. A Chinese proverb says that “women are like the grass, meant to be stepped on.” The thought comforted me at the same time that it made me cringe.

A dangerous thought. Others like it have derailed movements, discouraged consciousness and retarded progress for centuries. To accept it as truth signals the beginning of the end of a person–or community’s–life and ability to self-love. Resignation means inertia, and for the past two weeks I have inhabited its innards. My neighbors here include women from all over the world, but it’s the women of African descent, and particularly Haitian women, who move me to write now.

Truly, I have witnessed as a journalist and human rights advocate the many injustices inflicted upon Black men in this world. The pain, trauma and rage born of exploitation are terrors that I have grappled with every day of my life. They make one want to strike back, to fight rabidly for what is left of their personal dignity in the wake of such things. Black men have every right to the anger they feel in response to their position in the global hierarchy, but their anger is misdirected.

Women are not the source of their oppression; oppressive policies and the as-yet unaddressed white patriarchy which still dominates the global stage are. Because women–and particularly women of color–are forced to bear the brunt of the Black male response to the Black male plight, the international community and those nations who have benefitted from the oppression of colonized peoples have a responsibility to provide women with the protection that they need.

(You think this guy can serve and protect?? For Sure NOT.)

(Reuters) – Forget about getting a job as a police officer in Indonesia’s Papua if you have had your penis enlarged. You won’t get it, according to local media reports citing the Papua police chief. An applicant “will be asked whether or not his vital organ has been enlarged,” said Papua police chief Bekto Suprapto, quoted on local website Kompas.com. “If he has, he will be considered unfit to join the police or the military.” The ban was applied since the unnatural size causes “hindrance during training,” said police spokesman Zainuri Lubis in Jakarta, quoted by news portal Detik.com. Indonesia’s remote easternmost province is home to Papuan tribes, many of whom are known for wearing penis gourds. Papuans use a local technique to achieve the enlargement, according to a sexologist quoted by local newspaper Jakarta Globe, wrapping the penis with leaves from the “gatal-gatal” (itchy) tree so that it swells up “like it has been stung by a bee,” the expert said.

Police say Texan decapitated wife with chainsaw

Associated Press

DALLAS

DALLAS (AP) — Police are searching for a suburban Dallas man accused of decapitating his wife with a chainsaw.

Lewisville police have issued an arrest warrant for 49-year-old Jose Fernando Corona that charges him with the murder of his wife, Maria Corona.

The slain 44-year-old mother of six was discovered in the street near her home Monday. A bloody trail ran from her headless body to her house. Police found two chainsaws with blood and tissue matter nearby, one of them still running.

The Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday that Lewisville police Capt. Kevin Deaver said the couple had been having marital problems.

Deaver said Jose Corona has no prior criminal history. Police are asking state and federal authorities for help locating him

Man in Sichuan dies after friends insert eel up his arse as a joke

A man has died after an eel that was inserted into his rectum gnawed away at his bowels, causing agonising injuries which were eventually fatal.

The 59-year-old man, a chef, was reportedly taken to a Sichuan hospital complaining of abdominal pain, dehydration and a great deal of anal bleeding. He was soon diagnosed as being in a severe state of shock.

Doctors were mystified as to the cause, and obtained permission from his family to undertake an exploratory laparotomy. Cutting open his innards, they discovered a 50cm long Asian swamp eel lodged in his rectum.

Though dead, the eel had apparently already wrought havoc on his innards, biting its way through his intestines prior to dying. Internal bleeding and infection rapidly set in.

He was reported to have eaten a lot of eel the previous day, but otherwise doctors had no idea how the creature had got there. His condition quickly worsened.

He lingered for 10 days in intensive care but eventually succumbed to the injuries and sepsis.

The likely cause was eventually established - he had apparently been drinking with friends, and had passed out. His friends had decided it would be amusing to insert a live eel into his anus whilst he was comatose.

Police have reportedly begun an investigation.

WWE fan in hot water after death threats
Jeff Morganteen, Staff Writer

STAMFORD -- Zavr Peygumbari is a serious wrestling fan in some serious trouble.

Peygumbari, 22, of Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y., is accused of calling the WWE headquarters on East Main Street more than 20 times last week, making threats to blow up the company's offices and saying he would visit the building with a machete and a machine gun, because it recently released former women's champion Mickie James, court records show.

He was arrested Friday and arraigned Monday afternoon at state Superior Court in Stamford. His defense attorney, Mickey Sherman, described Peygumbari as a fervent wrestling fan who did not intend to follow through on his threats.

Peygumbari was initially held at the Stamford Police Department this weekend on $250,000 bond. This was lowered to $5,000 Monday after Sherman argued for him to be released on a written promise to appear in court. Court records indicate he was known to New York City police as being emotionally disturbed.

During his arraignment, Peygumbari apologized to the court for the phone calls, calling them childish and foolish.

"I'm sorry for wasting the time of the courts and taxpayers' money," Peygumbari said while handcuffed and wearing a yellow t-shirt.

When Judge William Wenzel told Peygumbari he could not contact WWE employees, go near its Stamford offices, or attend their events, Peygumbari's response elicited chuckles from the courtroom.

"I'm not allowed to go to wrestling shows?" he asked.

The threatening phone calls began on April 24 and continued until April 27, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. Nineteen calls were made to WWE offices on April 24, and a handful of calls were made in the following days.

Five calls were recorded on voicemail. On each one, a caller with a slight New York accent said he was upset with the departure of James, asking why she was fired, an affidavit states. The caller, believed to be Peygumbari, became agitated and used profanity to make threats against WWE and its employees. During one phone call, he threatening to kill an employee and his family, court documents state.

In message, Peygumbari allegedly left the cell phone number he was calling from, giving "Steve" as a name. Police traced the number to Brooklyn, N.Y. The cell phone subscriber was a relative of Peygumbari's, court records show.

In March, Peygumbari was arrested in New York City on marijuana charges; he had a cell phone on him when he was taken into custody. That phone's number matched the number given to Stamford police by WWE officials and police applied for an arrest warrant charging Peygumbari in connection to the threatening phone calls.

Peygumbari was charged with four counts of fourth-degree threatening, one count of second-degree harassment and two counts of second-degree threatening.

"It's a testament to the WWE that they get people so psyched up in the story lines," Sherman said.

The charges against Peygumbari were filed a day before a car bomb almost exploded in Times Square in Manhattan.

"In 2010, you can understand why an organization would hit the panic button," Sherman said of the WWE decision to report the phone calls to police.

Peygumbari is due in court May 25.

FOX NEWS - A Washington, D.C., college student claims she was shot by a man for refusing to give him her phone number, MyFoxDC.com reports. The woman, whose identity has not been released, reportedly told police that she was leaving a party in southeast Washington early Sunday when the man approached her and asked for her phone number. “He told my cousin he was going to shoot at us if I didn’t give him my number and then he started shooting,” the woman reportedly told authorities. The student was struck by a bullet in her ankle, the station reports, and surgeons are deciding how to remove it.

Kruger was prosecuted under a legal theory known as the felony murder rule, which allows for a murder conviction if during the course of a robbery, the perpetrator used force or fear and committed an act that caused the death of another.

Deputy District Attorney Matt Murphy had initially filed special circumstances murder charges against Kruger, which could have resulted in a life without the possibility of parole sentence. But he dropped the special circumstances before arguing the case to the jury.

Hao Huynh, 52, who owned Sportsman Liquor in Newport Beach for 15 years, died the day after the vicious attack on July 28, 2007 from a fractured skull and massive bleeding in the brain, Deputy District Attorney Matt Murphy said.

But defense attorney Jeremy Dolnick said Kruger should be convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter.

Dolnick did not dispute that Kruger shoved Huynh, but insisted that his client had abandoned the robbery attempt by throwing the pornographic magazine back at his pursuer. Dolnick contended that Kruger simply wanted to stop the situation, and was trying to leave.

Witnesses testified that Kruger tried to shoplift a pornographic magazine from Sportsman Liquor at 2615 Newport Blvd., in Newport Beach by hiding it under his shirt as he walked up to the cash register to buy a pack of cigarettes.

But Huynh, who saw the magazine sticking out of Kruger's shirt, demanded the magazine back. Witnesses said Kruger refused and walked out of the store.

The prosecutor contended that Huynh, a slight man, made a grab for the stolen magazine outside the liquor store. But Kruger, who was years younger and who outweighed Huynh by more than 100 pounds, balled his hands up into fists and lunged.

Kruger pushed Huynh with such force that he flew into the air and landed on the back of his head.

Huynh was rushed to a hospital, where he died the following day from traumatic brain injuries. Huynh and his wife — who was in the store when her husband was knocked to the ground — had owned and worked at Sportsman Liquor since 1992.

After Huynh was knocked to the ground, Dolnick said, Kruger grabbed the magazine and fled. He learned later that Huynh had died from his injuries. An uninvolved witness in the parking lot identified Kruger, with whom he had gone to high school.

Detectives later found the stolen magazine during a search of Krueger's home.

MAY 12–A female escort wielding a high-heeled shoe is facing an assault rap after she allegedly used the footwear to beat a valet bloody outside the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale, Arizona, according to police. Jennifer Thomas, 26, was arrested early yesterday in connection with the Monday night attack on the 27-year-old male victim, who was injured after Thomas hit him in the head with the shoe. The heel’s tip struck his scalp, “causing him to begin profusely bleeding,” according to Scottsdale Police Department reports. “The gash was consistent with the size of the bottom of a high heel shoe.” The unprovoked assault apparently was triggered after Thomas–who was wearing a miniskirt and had been drinking in the upscale hotel’s bar–asked the valet to call her a cab. When a “standard Yellow Cab” arrived, Thomas, pictured in the mug shot below, became irate, saying, “I’m not fucking getting into that. Who do you think I am?” She added that hotel employees “should know I need a sedan.” After a second vehicle was summoned–this time a Lincoln Town Car–Thomas removed a shoe and, “without prompt,” took a “violent swing” at the valet. Though the man slipped the first blow, “before he could react again the woman used the same heel, held in her right hand, and hit him on the left side of the head.” Directing the Lincoln’s driver to “go, go, go!!!,”
